"Halloween Costume Nightmare" Apology

I feel deeply sorry to have offended anyone with the use of the word "whore" in my previous post "Halloween Costume Nightmare." I realize how hurtful that word can be and would edit that posting immediately if I knew how. The post was meant to be a funny look at how silly and sexist the selection of women's costumes are at Halloween Superstores and how those selections negatively influence young girls. Perhaps I got a little carried away. I was not implying that women who wear skimpy Halloween costumes are whores in any way, shape, or form. I was not trying to victim-blame or imply that women who dress in those particular costumes are "asking for it." I feel disappointed in myself for not being more considerate. I apologize to all that were offended.
