bitch A bitch is a female dog (any kid on the playground can tell you that) or a female human who, like a dog, will whimper, growl and occasionally bite back. When someone calls a woman a bitch, the message is that she is straying from the quiet, obedient, "feminine" ideal. She is uppity--and needs to be controlled. First used to describe lady dogs in 1000 A.D., "bitch" was applied to humans about 400 years later. The term has endured the test of time and is still a big favorite for putting a woman in her place. The modern twist is applying it to men. A male bitch is seen as "womanish": weak, whiny and submissive (and more than likely gay). Like some other really sharp putdowns, "bitch" has been picked apart lately in an effort to remove its sting. In the early '90s, for instance, riot grrl bands like Bikini Kill and Huggy Bear scrawled the word on their skin, screamed it out in song and openly embraced other "bitchy" behaviors, like shouting at their fans. They gave "bitch" its own ironic twist in an attempt to "reclaim" it. Around the same time, with male hip-hop artists like N.W.A. calling women bitches and hos in their rhymes, female hip-hop artists worked their own magic to diffuse the bitch bomb--most notably Queen Latifah, who demanded to know: "Who you callin' a bitch?" Lil' Kim turned the word on its head once again and proclaimed HERSELF the "Queen Bitch." Want to embrace your own bitchiness? Read "Getting In Touch With Your Inner Bitch" by Elizabeth Hilts.

Whenever someone calls me a bitch, I look them straight in the eye and say
"Uh, you're wrong honey. I ain't A bitch. I am THE bitch."
Or
"I'm not a bitch, I just have a low bullshit tolerance." And walk away. That usually tells them off.
But if you're not into swearing (haha) just tell them off like this:
"Oh, thank you."[smile sarcasticly] "I always wanted someone to tell me that I'm a

B-Beautiful
I-Intelligent
T-Truthful
C-Compassionate
H-Human...Bye!"

the other day at walmart I seen a women with a shirt on that said proud to be a bitch. Then it said all this crap about her being strong independant and all these other great qualities that good women possess.i thought. you idiot.thats not what a bitch is.a bitch is someone who you can never make happy and enjoys making everyones life around them miserable.Its not a term describing a strong independant thinking women. how can women degrade themselves by calling them selves bitches and acting proud of it. my mom fought for equal rights for women in the 70's and she would be appauled to see how alot of women are acting today.this generation has thrown everything my moms generation fought for

[too glam today]

I've noticed that women who are the most bitchy complainers and the most incecure are the ones that call all other women "bitches"

[Mariah was here]

People need to watch who there callin a bitch 'cuz one day you'll say the wrong thing to the wrong person (did I forget to mention the ass kicking part?)

[TheBeautifulOne]

No woman should accept being called the word BITCH!!! It's disrespectful and allowing someone to call you that shows how much respect you have for yourself. It's no positive way to call someone a bitch, think about it?? Why not call eachother's Queen's or something?? And if you must use negativity to talk about another person use educated words or words that serve a true purpose!!

[Adangely]

Unfortunately the word bitch has been used in most of our vocabularies but i don't agree with using this word. I use it and im at fault for that and i say it at time when im extremely angry but the word bitch just seems soo disgusting i mean it's basically calling all females dogs and useless.

[kAMAyAH]

y3S iiM A BiiTCH SUMTiiM3S ND ii kNO iiT!!!!!

[Keisha]

Im not gonna lie, i have been a total bitch and deserved to be called one but its completly ridiculous how people just call everyone a bitch for no reason. Just because i dont want people in my business im a bitch? seriosuly. and Quelle, AMEN! I know exactly what you mean.

[CLARY]

I CALL DUDES BITCHES CUZ MANY NOW IN DAYS ACT LIKE A BITCH. MA FAVE STATEMENT "STOP ACTING LIKE A BITCH STUPID ASS"

[Random Person 63]

You call me a bitch
well a bitch is a dog
dogs bark, barks in on trees
trees are part of nature
and nature is beautiful
SO thanks for the compliment!!!

and if you call a girl a bitch we talk it as a complement cuz it means we're STRONGER and BETTER than guys (sorry for all u who think different i didnt not mean to offend you but i grew up with a sexest father and well that screwed me up)

More made up stuff Ignorant American people made up. A Bitch is a female dog and or a lewd woman. Men say this to belittle women or say it to a woman when they get mad.Women use it to refer to themselves, to their friends and other women when they get mad. Then they get mad.Don't you chose to belittle yourself.

[Bitch-Ardo]

I don't think I am confused.... Just because I think Women are bitches does not mean I am confused.... It might make me a woman-hater, you might say I am not too nice, you might say I am a pyscho or whatever, but I am not confused.... I am very clear! I think most women are bitches... they annoy me. That's just how I feel.

[Kay]

TO "B" ARDO YOU ARE A DISGRACE AND PSYCHO AND VERY VERY VERY VERY CONFUSED! I don't know what planet you were born on but you need a serious reality check and Jesus. That says a lot about you and I don't think you have any self worth about yourself and for you to say that a woman's only job is to sleep around is a disgrace on you b/c if I'm not mistaking wasn't the person who gave birth to you a woman? So when you say that you're talking about your own MOTHER!!!!
....Think about it!!!....No really think about it.

[Bitch-ardo]

ALL WOMEN are just bitches... they ain't worth shit... I hate them.

Women exist to keep their pussy alive so men can fuck it with their cocks...

If you a woman, know that you have NO WORTH, except as a dumping ground for my semen....

GET ON YOUR KNEES AND SUCK IT....

BITCH!!!!!!!!

[Misty]

Behinde every bitch there is an asshole who "made" her that way and behinde every bitch there still will (almost) always be a more independent,asserive,eccentric woman! I feel and also think that "bitch" basicly says it all when u describe a very strong willed femmine individual. There's always a bitch out there that some how remindes me of my self even if that "bitch" just so happens to have a cold heart!

[redge breezy. :]]
