See my other post. Personally, I don't feel hurt by it. Actually, I think
it's part of the language [1], so...

I'm more worried by a generally aggressive tone, especially if it is
towards people.

That said, I do take into account that some people may be hurt by some
words, so I try to not use them in a context where they might do harm.
It is irrelevant how old the word is, what its etymology is and all
that. Just the effect counts in the current context.

In private, and when I /know/ that my interlocutors are fine with it,
I apply less restraints (but try to be prepared for cases where my
"knowledge" turns out to be wrong: I have to rely on others to help
me on that, external POV and all of this).

Cheers

[1] I'm somewhat of a language nerd. I do love all words!
