Reply #22: A lot of responders here seemed to miss the point of the post

The point wasn’t whether or not Ann Coulter actually is a bitch or not or the most vile person on the planet or not. The point of the original poster was that some are personally offended by the mere use of the term bitch because it might denigrate ALL women.

Now that part, I don’t agree with. When you call someone a bitch, it concerns the characteristics of that person and the fact that they happen to be female. The same person with a penis might be called a dick…I don’t take this as an insult to all men….just the person who was called the name.

This is different than racial terms because those are MEANT to characterize an entire group of people. Bitch, cunt, slut, etc. are NOT meant to characterize an entire group…just the person who is called the name. What’s wrong with that?
