How come women can call each other bitches and no offense is taken, But when a man called a woman a bitch, even in a friendly matter like their girlfriends but assume the man is not gay, the women blow up! If you don't wanna be called a bitch, you should treat others like you wanna be treated. The hell with it. I'll still call these bitches bitches. What do you guys think?
Um, be nice?
what if i use the N word while referring to you?Quote:

I get called the n word atleast 55 times a day and I'm as white as can be :p
Because your friends are crazy
I dont hear the women i hang around with calling each other bitch
Of course I agree. But with women, It doesn't matter if you use it as a positive or not...Well, their was that movie How High, but that was just a movie...:rolleyes2Quote:

I don't know, I generally don't use words that should be used negatively as positive.
That being said, I DO use a lot of negative language, but generally nothing on the racist or sexually derogatory bent as the terms in question.
Traditionally, yes. But does it actually mean the same today? No m i rite?Quote:

I suspose so. I mean, the N word has a different meaning nowadays. And sense you can't call me sexy, how 'bout we take this side conversation to the PM?;)Quote:

Stop hitting on chicks like you ain't never seen one, Typhoon.
If someone, anyone calls me a bitch and means it, they're going to learn what bitch means. I don't use that word unless I mean it.
*hides behind foa* lol yay
What are the qualities of a woman who deserves to be called a big bitch? You call her a bitch and then you really mean it? What does she do exactly? Sleep around with many men?
A'yo, What do you mean by "And Means It"? And don't get mad if I'm not hittin' on you...:rolleyes2Quote:

Some people find the word smurf offensive, some people find the word bitch offensive. I think just about anything that can be construed as an insult has the potential to bother you. It's up to individual morality and preconceptions about what words stand for. For me, it's not what you say nearly so much as it is how you say it.
I think you're making a pretty ridiculous generalization about people having trouble with the word bitch.
You know what I mean. If someone calls me a bitch and means it. If my friend Erin laughs at something I say and goes "haha, you're a bitch" that's alright. She doesn't intend to hurt me. When someone uses the word and tends to hurt me, I get mad.Quote:

I get bossed 'round and called "bitch" all the time. "Do this, bitch" and "Do that, bitch". But y'know what? I take it like a man.
I call my friends bitches in that friendly way friends do that kind of thing. And they call me the same. We tend to be fairly gender-neutral with our insults. Anyway yeah I don't personally know many people - girls or otherwise - who would take offense at a joking insult like that.
Huxley is my bitch :kiss:
Guys never call a girl a bitch without either sounding extremely camp (something most guys don't want to do) or sounding offensive. So there you go. That's why girls always take offence to it.
Of course, if you're good friends with someone, you can generally get away with calling them all sorts of things regardless of their gender. Likewise, if you're not good friends with them, you should expect a slappin' for your offensive yappin'.
Not everybody has the same sense of humor or ability to cope with insults. You can call me anything from male-based insults (lol pen0r size) to insults about my race and I'll play along. But I don't expect other people to think this way. I'd imagine that if I did I would get into a bit of trouble :)
If anyone called me a bitch I'd be offended! I've never heard it used as a friendly term between women, so I don't know what you're judging this from
I call my lady friends slaaaaags, in proper Eastenders style. They know I'm joking.
I call females dudes and 'man', but I never call a guy a dude or a man. I call guys and girls 'hey you' sometimes. Or I poke them.
Sometimes I use their given names.
If it's a friend, male or female, and they're joking then I see no problem. It's when they're serious or it's somebody I don't know then it bothers me. :jess:
