What does "bitch" mean now?
bentgyro:
I used to breed dogs in the 70's and have always called female dogs "bitches"
Recently I was chastised by a new breeder when I said that she had a "beautiful bitch".
She said that they used the word female, now.
Seems that even a bitch isn't a bitch anymore. :-\ :laugh: :laugh:

Reminds me that I always want to chuckle when I see a breeding female cat referred to as a "queen." ;D

Calling a man a "bitch" is emasculating, but not because it reduces a man to the level of a woman, but rather his masculinity is so damaged that he "becomes" a woman. The opposite insult would be calling a woman "butch," "bull-dyke," or saying "she's got a dick." Those insults are intended to strip away her femininity, therefore she "becomes" a man. Its about gender reversal.

Seriously, I wonder how it's taken if a woman is told she's got balls. ... ???
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that a woman has a dick, but just last night on Law and Order: SVU, someone described Det. Olivia Benson as "having a hard-on" for a certain supposed criminal who turned out to have been wrongfully convicted.

Having balls is generally a compliment to whomever is being spoken of. Apparently having "balls" is good, having a "dick" is not. Kinda twisted.

That's another good example of dissing male anatomy.

I suppose it is when it's said of a woman, although I have also heard the same phrase used of a man, and not in a sexual situation, but in a situation where a more polite way of phrasing it might be that he "had it in" for someone.
