I hear ya. The times you use the word "bitch" to describe yourself, under the same circumstances, I describe myself as an "asshole."

Wouldn't it have been more effective to have taped shut Marlee Matlin's interpreter's mouth?

BRUCE BANNER AND PEPPER POTTS, OH HELL NO

If we exist outside of a womb, nope. Got a functional uterus? Too bad, no personhood for you! I'll take the bitch label and wear it with pride.

I am proud to be called a bitch.

I wish I could recommend this more then once

Of all the words used to demean women, I will gladly take bitch. I can own it better than I can anything sex negative.

LOVING the debate in this thread. I'll tell you: I think of bitch as one facet of my personality that is brought out under special circumstances.

This is the stuff you read about in 9th grade American History and don't quite grasp the gravity of until you find yourself a part of it. My hands are…

Yes, yes, yes!!

Cracker Barrel is the Cracker Barrel of the Midwest.

Never heard of O'Charley's. The Midwest has a Cracker Barrel. It's called Cracker Barrel.

but i do think there's also a gaming community specific thing with the word nigga.

Nope. Your friends are being racist. They clearly understand how and why, to boot. Tell them to cut the bullshit and stop hanging out with them (especially your brother) until they get their shit together.
