The use of the word "Slut".

I am very turned on by the use of the word "Slut". To me it is not meant to be degreating or disrespectful. It is empowering and implies a sexualy liberated women. That enjoys sex, is confident and knows what she wants and does not have a problem telling you. After all it is also about the lady's pleasure as well. But I am still taken back by some ladies that get insulted by the use of the word. This perv is seeking an intelligent slut. What are your thoughts please let me know?
