No. Seriously, it is already happening. Some of my stepson's friends call themselves sluts in a positive way. Essentially they're saying "I like sex", "I'm not buying any of the guilt associated with that" and "no, I'm not going act all meek in order to avoid being violated by big strong men".
Hmm. Good point. However, isn't it a problem when that message isn't clear to others? Is it appropriate for white boys to call black boys "nigga," since the word has been reclaimed? Is it appropriate for boys to call girls "sluts" once the word has been reclaimed? There is no guarantee that the meaning of the reclaimed word will be the same to all groups- and mightn't it further the cultural divide? Or do you think ultimately such words are totally defanged if given enough time- to the extent that it's totally OK for white boys to use the term "nigga" because they see if as a cool expression of brotherhood instead of as an insult?

It did strike me more as something the girls would say about and to each other than something my stepson or his male friends would say to them.
