Idc if this makes me sound "too woke" but bitch is a slur and I don't support men who say it nor do I support women who say it derogatorily to other women. The idea that: "bitch" is just a casual insult or somehow neutralized over time completely ignores how deeply gendered and historically loaded the word is. Ill call it like it is; bitch has been used to degrade and control women, to belittle assertiveness, and to reduce a lady to a stereotype. When men use it, especially towards women, it carries under tones of misogyny, regardless of context, And when a woman uses it derogatorily, it reinforces internalized misogyny and reflects social conditioning. People have tried to reclaim this, but reclamation is complicated. The word doesn't magically lose its harm and definitely doesn't give everyone free license to use it however they want
