Maybe it has something to do with the ethnic variation on language. Television and movies are chocked full of black men referring to women as "ho's". I see it in real life, a good friend and co-worker refers to his girlfriend as "his ho". I've seen his say this in front of her and she did not act offended. One time he did it in mixed company and it offended the while males and white females in the group more that the blacks. One person said something suggesting it was disrespectful, he looked at us as if we were ignorant and just said something like "you just don't get blacks".
ironically most white men do not automatically associate the word Ho with a white woman. While I did not post it or defend it, If referring to the women in that picture as ho's offends you then maybe you should look a bit deeper at the source. Don't try to insinuate that the white men on this board are racist because they occasionally talk in a way they learned from black culture. If it's good for the goose ......
