I'm not a sensitive soul....just entirely frustrated w/ someone who speaks in circles.

At least I didn't call you an unkind name.

I keep forgetting it's used a lot in songs. I had to listen to it constantly repeated song after song this morning being given a ride to work. It's annoying as hell.

I always first think of women who have crossed barriers in the corporate world and who have had to deal with that word and those who have embraced in a way, in that I can admire. But this constant repeating of it randomly for no real reason doesn't seem to change the fact that it's a vulgar unpleasant word, at least to my ears.

I agree. I think I see it about the way you do. I mean go back 75 years and it was obscene for a woman to say she was headstrong. Even the word independent was taboo in regards to women...even amongst women. I'm sure there were not so kind words that attached those qualities. That said...there's a traditional definition of bitch and today's definition of bitch...which probably vary for many. It is usually an insult though...and can usually only be flipped when used in regards to women....it seems a woman can embrace being a bitch...but its much more rare for a male to attempt to pull that off with credibility. I mean bitches even come in the irresistible variety...no?

Now see you just took it in another direction that wasn't even on my mind and I don't feel qualified to make a call in. But yeah, it's used in that circle too. Granted I think a certain image is in mind when it's being used.

I think you're referring to gay people? If so..I agree..its a bit complicated there. I was thinking just me and the homies hanging and one does something not so manly like cry during a sporting event or scream in fear from a spider. When your friends laugh, and call u a bitch, there's no flipping that. Fuck around and call your g/f a bitch, u best bet she gonna flip that shit and say well damn right imma bitch and this bitch is running the show now m/f'r or something of the like. Any which way....dude looses.
