I am not a women. I was offended that they used that word. Just like I am offended when anyone uses that word directed towards a woman. Just like I am offended when I hear one of my friends calling their wives or girlfriends that. Sure, you can say it was garrosh being garrosh towards sylvanas. Or you can say it was blizzard choosing a word and saying, "hey man, it's no big deal to drop this in there."

regardless of how you feel, I am guessing there are more than a few women who have been called that before. Some shrug it off. Some don't. We can go round and round on this issue all day long. Certain things are probably better left for private. It's a fine line between what is or is not acceptable. To me, it's desensitizing to accept it. To others, it is having a choice or control over what bothers them.
