Why do we use the B Word for women?

I have been picking my brain for an interesting blog topic to write about and came up with this one... so please pardon the use of profanity as I begin to write about the B word. Why do we refer to women as bitches? I often hear women call themselves a Bitch and I hear men do it even more. I even searched the word BITCH under Google images and hundreds of pictures of women surfaced with one or two dogs in between.

The word bitch is litterally a female dog. Bitch is often used to describe a cranky or aggressive woman. It is also used to describe men who act like women. The B word is in no way meant to compliment or praise women...So why do we use it so much?? I guess a better question is...Whose is answering to the name??


Dialogue
Guy: Hey Bitch. How are you doing?
Girl: I'm fine. How are you?

I'm confused and really trying to understand it's appropriateness. Can it be used as a term of endearment?  I guess for females that call each other Bitches maybe they mean it in a positive way. You beautiful, intelligent, talented, creative, honest, bitch you!


When I use the word bitch its often referring to a female that I really don't like. I mean its not in my everyday language but it has come out of my mouth a few times. Somehow I think that we have definitely perfected the art of calling women out their name. I will tell you this much, just call me Ms. Chyna Blaq.

Do you call yourself a Bitch? Or do you answer to the name??
