I appreciate it, and appreciate the thought behind it. I do not, however, agree. As a woman, I cannot get worked up over it. Other things, yes, not this. I do use the word, and I will continue to do so, whether it's banned from DU, or not. I may have to watch myself on DU, if that is what happens, but I won't stop using it.

One of the things you say "bitch" means in your post is:

a woman who doesn't know her proper place, or how to "act like a lady."


All I have to say to that is - Guilty as charged! I OWN it - and happily.
