the name is offensive ...even though unsavory towards all women,  but because it's not directed at a particular person, you hear it enough, it becomes more familiar and accepted. doesn't make it right.. think it just happens that way.  look at how the Fword is used . it's just become almost unheard. some black people use the N word like its nothing - it is,  as long as you're black and or a very close in whatever group of people - just another term for bro or friend... but i hate it. hate that word. coming out of anybody,  and have had "chats" now and then with folks if it goes there. my family and friends know not to use it around me.  i don't care who it is.
