How slang is mainly directed towards women?

Slang is a long line of words that males make up. Most of the terms relate to what a woman does or what a women is. Some words would consist of:
-B
-ho
-runner etc.
These terms have delegated from the 80's and have advanced to modern times. These words are used on the streets ,in rap music etc. These terms are very cruel towards women and shouldn't be used ,but sadly they are only getting meaner and more are coming. In my opinion slang comes from the street and often prostitutes are there. I feel that men used these words to insult the women of the streets ,but somehow it ended up being used for anyone who may act like a prostitute. Also some words refer to how a women looks. For Example:
-shawty
-dime
-fire
These are not as bad as the previous ones , but I feel that women (well me in general) would not like to be referred to in such a way. Women are not objects, they are human beings and should be treated with respect.
