I love the word 'Bitch'. I fully embrace it as an adjective to describe the part of a women that is designed to fend off enemies and to protect herself against unwanted advances that many women encounter, being objectified sexually through most of their lives.
Power to the bitches if they don't want to be nice and all princess-like, as we are indoctrinated as little girls, to be super polite and nice all the time, to consider other's feelings before ours, to basically accomodate all male wants and desires graciously as if we are being tutored on how to be the perfect partner or wife. Yes, it's 2015, but the subconscious 'training' that patriarchal society tries to brainwash women with - that you are only worthy if you're pleasing or being pursed by a man - is old school BS. And so the necessity for the 'Bitch' was born. For women to be themselves and act any way they like that is not based on gender expectations. When a guy calls you a bitch ladies, think of it as freeing - you are free from his desire or expectation to act like a lady. And that's freeing because you openly admit that the social contract to be as a woman is 'expected' to be is broken. So you can be yourself - outside of sexual role obligation.
Bitches get such a bad rap - but if you see the liberating side of it - no one expects anything from a Bitch by the very definition of the term, except more bitchiness. So you don't have to answer to anyone. Being a bitch is sometimes necessary to get back to taking care of you. If a woman actually decides what she needs and wants is more important than what a guy in her life might want - she's automatically a bitch.
But lots of men act selfish all the time - and they are just called men. There is no real gender equivalent term. Even a**hole is gender neutral.
***Disclaimer***
I'm not saying be a bitch to everyone - there are great guys/people out there who do deserve the princess treatment from us. BUT not everyone deserves it. And so it's OK to be a bitch to those that deserve it. It's socially acceotable for men to be rude/crude/aggressive as they see fit, but women are never applauded for taking that freedom. So, since before being a woman, you're human and everyone had the need to feel unemcumbered emotionally - being a bitch shouldn't be frowned upon. It's just one part of a women's personality that women should just learn to accept more readily, like men do.
So what kind of Bitch are you? How does your bitchiness come out?
