Of the 3 roles relegated to women in society (Virgin, Whore, Bitch) I’v always been lucky to get pushed in the 3rd box.
Bitch.
Pronunciation: \ˈbich\
Function:noun
Etymology: Middle English bicche, from Old English bicce.
Date: before 12th century
1: the female of the dog or some other carnivorous mammals
2 a: a lewd or immoral woman b: a malicious, spiteful, or overbearing woman —sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse
3: something that is extremely difficult, objectionable, or unpleasant
4. Complaint.
Bitch is a solely feminine insult, invoking rabid dogs. A complaining woman, a disagreeable woman. A woman with opinions. A woman not afraid to share.
A woman who says no.
NO
Bitch. Is a product of our culture of acceptance: Male as Aggressive Taker and Woman as Passive Giver. And so a woman who wants to take, or at the very least refuse to give– attention, approval, sex, answer– is a rabid dog in heat. Because lets face it she wants it, that little aggressive thing.
And how dare she say no, because mommy said you can have anything you wanted. Little boy, big man. And your teacher said boys should be boys and the law said wives cant say no, and the law said date rape is objective and the law said cry me a river bitch…
And this bitch talked back. And transformed.
Yada Yada Yada she went with her caldron and her hat. Razor sharp toothed and hairy moled; in high heels.
