      Someone being awful is no excuse for misogyny.

        I believe the use here indicates an intense emotional dislike of the subject. Thanks to other factors ‘bitch’ allows the user to convey that dislike while being satisfied with the impact. That the subject is also a woman, tying the other, original meaning in, solidifies ‘bitch’ as a very appropriate word to use.

        ‘Bitch’(fem.) and ‘bastard’(masc.) are gendered derogatory terms. I recommend a thesaurus for other, less inflammatory terms.

          Its use is always misogynistic when used this way. The B slur when applied to women likens them to a dog and when used for men or nonbinary people likens them to a woman and thus a dog. So, no, it’s always misogynistic.

          We should do better than stooping to their level and prove them correct about us, that we hate women, even if we are women (but they don’t see us as that thus proving their point). The B slur is only reclaimable if it’s only ever used positively ioo.

            Good point about reclamation. Also about trans women representing women. Just the whole thing really. Sorry I know that’s what upvote button is for but this was very good.

      I’m not going to remove this comment, but in the future please don’t use misogynistic insults.
