1. Of course it is
It si used as nothing but a slur... why? It is a pejorative term that straight men use against other men to denigrate them. It si NO different than calling someone a faggot or a queer.

3. thank you

I've done it (the act in reference I mean...can I say that here?) so I guess I never thought of it as being different from calling someone a f-er or mo-f-er. I see your point though and thank you for the serious answer.

2. I've never heard anyone call a woman that
(in a negative way, anyhow) so my guess is yes.

5. Oh, Hell Yes.
You rarely ever see a woman called a "Cocksucker." It's a slur aimed at men. It like not only being called a "Fag," but also being called the lowest kind of "Fag" because you get on your knees and take it.

I used to take a humorous approach as ask people what's so wrong about being a cocksucker. That would occassionally get a laugh, but mostly just blank looks, and it never stopped people from using the insult. Now I'm more blunt.

6. Lenny Bruce was arrested in 1961 for using the word and the phrase "to
come."
