than being addressed as "bitch". That word is to gender what
"nigger" is to race.

(2,760 posts)I'm a 76 year old woman and anytime I'm acting in a mean-spirited manner you are welcome to call me a bitch. I marched with Civil Protests back in the '60's and no "bitch" is not equivalent to "nigger." Calling me a bitch is based on my actions, not a genetic trait I have no control over.

(29,053 posts)is "female dog" and, it's frequently used as just a derogatory synonym for "woman" or ,"female" and THAT is what I'm protesting.
The fact that you're unaware of this tells me you' must be quite disconnected from popular culture, especially rap & hip hop music which is notorious for demeaning women this way.

(2,760 posts)You are however, correct in assuming that I am unaware and disconnected from a huge swath of popular culture, as I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It's been close to twenty-years since I actually lived and socialized in the US. Ten years traveling and another ten here as my base and still traveling, but no one in my circle of contacts is in to the heavy hip hop/rap stuff. Like so many things, context is everything.
Then it's unfortunate that it, along with your acknowledged lack of exposure to today's America, didn't inform your response.
