For some
women, the
highest order of
compliment one can receive.
Think about it.. We associate the word bitch, when used as an
insult, with a
girl who stands up for herself, does not hesitate to use her
razor-sharp wit on anyone who fails to give her enough
respect, takes care of herself, puts her own
needs first, and is just generally a
badass, even to the point of being willing to
defend herself
physically.
A bitch is, in short, everything a woman is
not supposed to be -
complacent,
matronly and
selfless,
delicate,
dependent, and
sweet. Actually, calling a
woman a bitch is a lot accusing her of trying to be a
man. Not to say that a
self-declared bitch isn't proud of her
feminity, but we live in a
man's world. No one gives you credit for
raising brilliant kids or
giving to and
caring for others at every opportunity. Worth as a person is determined by
success and
power. That's what a bitch is, someone playing that
game, pusuing those
ends. When that type of person comes
in the shape of a woman, some people get
scared or
confused and call her a bitch.
So she says, "Thank you."
