"Bitch" Bad?

3/18/2013

 
Picture
The term “Bitch” is defined as “a malicious, spiteful, or overbearing woman —sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse.” However, recently women have been using this word to proudly identify themselves (take this "self-help" book on how to be the right type of bitch, for instance). Do you think this term is offensive or endearing? Should women be embracing it or should they take offense to it? Explain your reasoning.
