I’m sick and fucking tired of stupid ass shirts/bumper stickers/tattoos/embossed butt plugs that tout shit like “I’m not A bitch, I’m THE bitch!” Goddamnit, being a bitch is NOT a good thing unless you like the idea of spitting puppies outyour ass and eating kibble!
Why the fuck would anyone take pride in such a label? AArrgh… Whoever started this shit should be lynched.
Um… haven’t you ever heard of taking back a word so it loses power in the mouths of the oppressor?
Bitch, bitch, bitch…
Yep. It’s worked so well with nigger and fag that I’m sure it’ll work out great with bitch.

Worked pretty well with “queer,” though. Although I don’t think that “bitch” is at all comprable to “fag” or “nigger.” Not by a country mile.
Instead, it’s a female empowerment thing. A lot of guys (especially in business) seem to take pride in being hard-nosed, immovable, un-emotional… Complete bastards, in other words, and proud of it. Bitch is just the female version of this. Now, I have some reservations with this mind-set in general, but I don’t think the problem can be boiled down to just the one word.
Worked with Canuck and cracker too. 
I should have signed my post “Sincerely, Nigger-Spick Bitch” :D:D
or as they say in the vagina monologues…taking cunt back
Apparently, I’m not just a bitch, I’m a FUCKING bitch. This is according to the waste of oxygen who just called 911 and had a screaming hissy because I couldn’t tell her where to go in case of a tornado. Like it’s MY fault she lives in an unsecured trailer and failed to take the responibility of pre-arranging an escape route for herself. :rolleyes:
(Actually, I had one suggestion on where she could go, but I’d like to keep my job…)
Are you for real? When people call up to report burglaries, do you say “Well, HEY, DUMBASS, maybe ya should have locked your doors, hmmm?” Or if they’re reporting domestic violence: “Well, it ain’t MAH FAULT y’all can’t work things out responsibly”. Jeez.
Does that work?
I know quite a few girls who enjoy being called “bitch”. They even call themselves that at times.
I thought it actually did work for “nigga”.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume the woman who called Marlitharn wasn’t calling in the middle of an actual tornado, but rather expected 911 to tell her what to do in case one hit.
Ya know what, j_kat? You can kiss my ass. For the record, when people call me for help, I HELP them. I tried to help this worthless twat by suggesting she might try to get to a neighbor’s house who would have a basement, or take shelter in an interior room, neither of which seemed to suit her. I also tried to advise her, when I could get a word in edgewise, that we’d had NO reports of tornados anywhere in the area, and what she was experiencing was pea-sized hail and moderate winds, which can feel pretty damn scary in an unsecured trailer. She didn’t want to hear it, just kept swearing at me and telling me I needed to do something, because HER FRIEND had just called her and told her that “someody” said there were tornados in the area (and God knows “somebody” is probably right and the half-hourly updates we’re getting from the National Weather service are just so much toilet paper). I’m still not exactly sure what the fuck she expected us to do. Having dealt with this family before, I’m fairly confident she’s lived around here long enough to have heard the 40 gajillion public safety announcements the various news agencies put out every spring and summer, to the effect that you should plan ahead and have a safe place to go in the event of inclement weather.
So, in closing, fuck off. I handled that call the same way I handle all my calls, whether it’s talking someone through delivering a baby or telling the local drunk for the 10th time that he cannot set fire to his ex-girlfriend’s possessions. As calmly and professionally as I can.
(/hijack. We now return you to your OP.)
Well, I was half right.
Shut up, you bitch!
[insert smiley here]
A female friend and I were discussing this word once and she stated it was the worst word to call someone, and therefore the word should not exist. I countered with, “Well M, what if I told you you had a beautiful cunt, would you hate that word then?”
She said no, in that case she didn’t mind 
Another female friend also stated she hated being called a bitch, unless, and this is her caveat, she was being told “get down bitch!” That apparently worked for her…
