Do you use the word "bitch"?

Contributor: SecondStory SecondStory
I say bitch a lot, but usually only in a humorous sort of way. I don't call people bitches when I'm actually annoyed/angry with them.

I tend to use it as a verb, if someone is complaining too much. "Done bitching yet?" And often use it when talking to inanimate objects, like the hinge on my bathroom door which broke last night: "Oh, you bitch."

It's not my go-to curse, but it's useful enough.

I really don't like hearing it said unless it's like a joke thing. I really hate when men refer to just any woman as "These bitches" like it's just a casual word for ladies. It's one thing if you're really mad at someone and you say it with a friend or something but it's another if you say it as an insult or just referencing someone.

I'll use it very rarely, and I'm overall opposed to its use as a derogative, especially by cis men, because of the misogynist connotations...
However in regards to empowerment, etc., I find the use fine.
And I'm comfortable enough with casual, not mean-spirited, uses of the word.

I don't mind it, I'm comfortable using it, I just don't use it in rp's or fanfictions, but I do call my mother it when she locks me out in the rain.

I use the word bitch to describe female dogs.

In all seriousness, though, I don't have a problem with the word as a term of endearment or a simple statement. I mean, of course, it's also an insult, and one that I use, but I also think that it's possible to be bitchy without it necessarily being a character flaw. Language evolves, and I'm happy to bend it to my will.

We almost never use the word outside the bedroom. I LOVE being called "bitch" while my wife's dominating me! Especially during pegging. We both like when I call her "bitch" while she's giving me head (as in, "SUCK it, bitch!). For whatever reason, we both find it arousing.

We have a lot of mutual respect and trust, so we both understand that it's just word play and not intended to be insulting.

I am ambivalent to the word, but it gets used by me and around me because I am pretty sure everyone in my house was a sailor in a past life.

I'm kind of uncomfortable with it, but I do use it very very rarely.

I see nothing wrong with saying 'bitch'. I do believe in equality, but feminists are a funny bunch of people who get offended way to easily and for no reason at all. I often find it hard to understand and respect them.

We are using it more and more, but only because we are hanging out at dog shows. However, even in that context I am not at all comfortable with the word and often say "female" about the girl dogs. I was just raised not to employ that word.

Bitch actually doesn't tend to be a massive part of my vocabulary, but I use it whenever it seems like the word to use. I'm not generally shy about cuss words, and I especially love "cunt," I think it's just awesome But yeah, Bitch is a normal word for me.
