Ain't That A B^$%#

As many things do throughout time, words and language have been morphed, tangled and in many ways redefined.  The word bad is now used as positive terminology.  And who ever thought, adversely, the word good could be synonymous with negativity.  For example, she's a “goody two shoes”.  To then break away from that label, “good girls” follow disturbing trends and tend to start calling themselves “bad bitch" perhaps after a few internet beefs degrading and calling other women out of their names. 

bitch noun | \’bich\ Definition of BITCH  1: the female of a 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

 

Does not denote anything good does it?  Why then has society capitalized the word Bitch as pro-Noun?  Why are young females proudly walking around dressed in clothing splattered with the profane word bitch across their chests and buttocks?   Why is the word bitch used as terms of endearment in relationships and friendships?  Why are women more proud to wear the title bitch than being called mam?  And someone please tell me who decided that women who identify more closely to female dogs than queens deserve to be put on pedestals?  When did it become an honour?

Thanks to VH1, MTV & Oxygen (just to name a few) networks who allowed women like Mona Scott exploit people hungry for fame with the phony "reality shows".  I bet Mona would never claim bitch as a title just to fit in.  

I also cast some blame on parents because some how they’ve bought into the decapitation of their children’s’ morals to be the cool parent.  Countless times I have scrolled through FB baffled that teenagers have posted profane language claiming girlfriends and friends their bitch.

The pro bitch argument goes “well we have taken a negative word and put a positive spin on it” with the advent of catchy slogans.  Being In Total Control of Herself is one of the acronyms coined for the word.  It has been placed on license plates and key chains worldwide.  However, for as many key chains as they put it on; I not now, nor will I ever be identified as a bitch, it’s still not cool to me.

  

You walk around calling yourself a bitch when you are merely empowering someone else to use the word against you.  When they use it, don't fool yourself in believing that there is any positive spin on it at all.  You are viewed as inferior to those with the intellectual capacity to remember that the negative connotation will never be dropped.

If you want to be respected, if you want to be considered a strong assertive power house - Stop calling yourself a bitch.  If you really want to end the argument: think about it, who are the figures you see calling themselves "bitch" and who are the ones calling themselves "queen".  What's their net worth...and I'm not talking about the money.
