sadly it's hard to take back a term.

shitheads missuse the term

normal people then avoid such term

now it's a bad term

any attempt at reclaiming it will be suspicious as if someone just wants an excuse to use that word.

it's mostly a slut thing.

but with slurs it's "easier" to reclaim, as the community affected by it, can choose to use it.

in this case it's different.

it's often used to excuse male children or teens (or young men) of misogynistic acts.

although originally meant for general youth stupidity.

it's a good dogwhistle because it comes with plausible deniability.

it depends on the context.
