You all are in need of a spelling lesson, I can’t see a more flagrant example of mispelling when people don’t properly insert the one freakin’ extra letter, the x instead of the s! Do I need to go around correcting you all for being such huge ignoramuzez?
We also deprive the fine bitches of the world the opportunity to take pride in their bitchness. The chance to raise their heads high and say “Your damn right! I am a bitch!”. Without people calling each other bitches we would never have had this touching poem:
Funny how things change. When I was growing up, I was taught that it’s an insult to call a woman a bitch, and now it’s common place.
To be honest, I must have lived most of my life under a cave or something, because I’m shocked at the number of people not only not caring about the constant use of the word bitch, but also the number of people praising it and saying we should use it more often.
Maybe it’s one of those things where women are trying to take the word and make it their own, kind of like some blacks taking the “n word” and making it their own word to take the sting out of it maybe? I don’t know, whatever.
Ha ha. Sorry. I blame Dr. Jameson and his good friend Capt. Bushmills.
I meant what I posted about bitches. It was just an observation; if you have read all the the pit threads in the last month, you know what I mean. Or you don’t. Or you dont care. All three viewpoints are valid.
I should have left off the last part. It wasn’t relevant. My bad. It was an entirely different topic. If I could go back, it would have been a different post. Rape and sexual abuse have nothing to do with calling women “bitches.”
What I was trying to convey, poorly I admit, was the idea of a leader in this country calling for an end to rape and sexual abuse. I was keen on the idea of a POTUS stating in a state of the union address: I want to see the end of rape and sexual abuse in my lifetime. That’s all. Another thread, another time.
I think being called a bitch is a compliment because when I’m called a bitch it means I’ve gotten on some guys last nerve by insisting (in my sweet lil ol Southern way) that I’m right and he’s wrong or that I want something and he’s going to give it to me whether he likes it or not. AHH the joys of being a biatch. Must be really good at it too cause my hubby LOVES it when I’m being a bitch. Oh wait… he loves it when I’m being HIS bitch
If it makes the OP feel any better, I use “bitch” on men as well. So for this foul-mouthed Doper, bitch has pretty much lost all misogynistic quality to it…
By the way, OP = original poster, original post, or opinion piece?
I tend to use it as all three, but I’d like to know what it really is
It’s not so much bitch that bothers me. It’s all the misogyny where they say everything but bitch, and voice every stereotype there is, and don’t get called on it—that bugs me. Bitch is kind of refreshing, depending on the useage, for what it sometimes reveals. Sometimes it’s nothing but accurate. Sometimes, it’s excessive. sometimes, it’s just not said.
