They say that words hold power. However, I've known people whom were not offended by words that were derogatory towards their sex or race. When I asked one of them why they were not offended by such words, they simply replied that they were just words. I've also known people that would say "What's up, guys!" when meeting with their friends even though a few of their friends were women. The word 'guys' went from meaning a group of males to just a group of friends no matter what their sex is.
The dictionary changes all the time to reflect new meanings associated with words. Words are not concrete. Thus, the real power behind words comes from their meaning. When doing spell work, the words are not as important as the intent and energy you put behind them. In essence, the words are just a tool much like a candle may be a point to focus on. You are ultimately giving the words their power.
