She Wonders Why I Can't Call Her B***h

When most people think about discrimination we all recall the Irish people when they migrated to America, Spanish speaking immigrants or illegal aliens, or even the first Africans who landed in America from that Dutch ship. Even before Africans Kings or families of royalty were enslaving persons of their own color another group, actually the largest minority were being persecuted in ways that were far from equal but damn near inhumane. If you haven't figured it out by the title or the quick little intro, but I'm talking about women.

The word Bitch is not just a female dog when looked up in a dictionary, but Bitch is more than a word. Bitch is a global used word which may not be politically acceptable, but it is used in one form or another in almost every cultural to not only dehumanize women, but to extract every thing about them that makes them the greatest creation that GOD has placed on this earth. A good number of Men have been guilty of using these terms, including myself. I won't include extravagant gay males because that's a whole totally different blog. I think of myself as the man who uses the word bitch as that of the white male/female who says the "N" word while he/she’s is reciting their favorite Jay-Z (pick your favorite rappers) song. Not that I’m trying to blame it on music but in a way to show that the word is so accepted in this culture that some don't even think twice when it is spoken.

I feel at times males need to let go of the argument, "I should be able to refer to her as a bitch if she calls her female and gay friends that." In all actuality that's a straw mans argument just as the straw mans defense of, "how would you feel if that was your mother or sister."

When another male calls a woman a bitch it’s more than calling her a dog, it’s a way to define her in ways that hasn't been deemed acceptable for you to refer to her as. Not only are you giving her meaning in life definition, but you are also showing thoughts of egoistical male domination supremacy over women. Even though some women refer to others as that, that still doesn't give me as a male the right to return those hurtful connotations in response. As a society we have said it was wrong but it seems that we have gotten upset, irritated, and jealous when women have given the term an ambiguous meaning for uses between each other, but we got mad not because the word was disrespectful but because we tried to take it back and women due to the efforts of so many women rights activist (Susan b Anthony, Abigal Adams, Sojourner Truth etc) they are able to STAND UP AND SELL HELL NO.

In the beginning I had the "U Wonda Why They Call You Bitch" attitude of Pac, but through the test time it reverted back to his song "Never Call you Bitch Again" True story.
