Who You Callin A B!tch

Let's face it we've all been called a b!tch at some point in ours lives, whether it was to our face or behind our backs. These words have been uttered about us, some woman or man has called us a b!tch as way to insult us, and used this word as a means to demean us.

Well, today I'll like to explore the usage of this word. When someone is called a b!tch its more than likely because said person has stood up for themselves in some fashion. They don't let people walk all over them, they are nobody's doormats, they speak up for themselves if they feel like they've been slighted. As Andre 3000 said "Yo, we take no sh#t like, like ummm, stopped up commodes".  If all these things makes a person a b!tch, well where's the sign up sheet because this is a team I want to be part of. What really kills me is that how a woman can be called a b!tch because she has a no- nonsense attitude but if a man has the same attitude he's just aggressive. Negative connotations aren't placed on men who behave in the same way as women who are seen as b!tches. Although those men are at times seen as jerks and a$$holes. Is it fair? No, but hey life isn't fair now is it.

Now there is also a big difference between being seen as a b!tch and being b!tchy. A b!tch as I've already described just doesn't take sh#t or puts up with anybody's crap. Being b!tchy on the other hand is a little different. They're kind of nags, they complain about everything, they're never satisfied, and they're really not that much fun to be around. So being a b!tch doesn't necessarily make a person b!tchy and vice versa. All I want to say is that maybe being deemed as a b!tch shouldn't be seen as such a negative thing. So the next time someone calls you a b!tch, you shouldn't be ready to go off on that person. Just tell the person that's fine I'll be a b!tch.
