The B-Word :(

So I’m going to talk about the word “bitch” and how I feel about it. After reading the article that was given to us as a topic, I couldn’t help but think to myself that this article was 100 percent true. In the past, it was an insult for a woman to be called a bitch. Then as the years went by, it developed another meaning: someone who is strong, independent, and speaks her mind. I have a feeling that I know where it came from. A few years ago, hip-hop icon Trina was one of the best female rappers out there. As her career grew, she began to develop an image. She started referring to herself as a “bad bitch” and everyone else just hopped on the bandwagon. Soon, girls all over the country started acting hard and tough because they’re supposedly “bad bitches,” but when a guy uses the word as an insult, they start getting upset and defensive. Why? What makes it right to call yourself a bitch instead of others? It’s the same word with the same meaning, but girls act like the word “bitch” is separated into two completely different categories. Well, it’s not!! I do not refer to myself as a bitch. It doesn’t even belong in my dictionary. If someone used that word one on me, I am not going to leave without letting that person know how I feel. No woman should ever refer to herself as a bitch; whether it’s a compliment or not.
