It's also worth noting that despite some causes being genuine in regards to changing and stifling the use of specific words there's a very vocal portion of people out there who take it too far and want to change any word that happens to offend them.
Where do people draw the line? There's people demanding that words such as 'he' and 'she' are removed from the dictionary and aren't used at all to describe somebody's gender. I'm not saying that this movement is that extreme but...there's some pretty solid reasons as to why a lot of people are reluctant to go along with these things.
There's also the risk that - at some point - people will have had enough and will simply roll their eyes and refuse to budge at all. There's only so many times people can 'cry wolf' about how specific words 'offend them' before it becomes a bit too much.
In other words? People need to be very careful about how this sort of thing.
