How do you feel about women being called names such as hoes, bitches, and other derogatory words some men love to refer women as?
Lack of respect, totally cool(depending on who), can care less really?

I don't care anymore.
It depends on how it's used, there's a huge difference between, "That girl at the Village Pantry was acting like a real bitch," and "There are going to be some hot bitches at that club." I can't imagine associating with someone who would use the latter.
I don't take offense to them most of the time anymore. I know what I am and what I'm not.
I think it's tacky, and I won't associate with people who speak like that, especially young gangster types who swagger around when they say it. God I sound old.





I'm asking this bc today when I went to the deli there were these two guys, and all that came out of thier convo was look at that bitch and other shit.... and I felt the total discomfort with the ladies who were there and heard. And the looks on there faces were like >>>![]()
Me, nothing offends me anymore... I looked nonchalant compared to those ladies who were appaled. But to me it just shows that dudes like that have no class.





It's beyond offensive, but it's so common that I don't bother arguing about it unless it's someone I care about.
There is just a severe and increasing lack of class in the world. In public, whatever. People are classless.





Eh, guys like that will stop saying it when it stops working.
There are so many more things to get upset over. It's on the list, it's just far down the list. I've been called so many things it's hard for me to get worked up over standard insults to anyone anymore.





you should make a poll!





I don't like it and it makes me think of them like dirt. I can't be friends with someone who refers to women like that.
It doesn't get me worked up. It just acts as a repellant.
It used to bother me but now I have taken the words to mean something positive. It is possible to change the meanings of words so that they cannot have power OVER you by making you upset, much like blacks taking the word "nigger" (or "nigga") and using it as almost like a term of endearment or positive identification. If someone tries to use negative remarks about me (such as "bitch" or "cunt", it's hard to offend me with it since I have them already tattooed on. LOL
I think it can only be offensive to you personally if you have a negative identification with the word to begin with.




I dont get offended at being called it, but i DO think worlds less of whoever it came out of.
I do use them against people, but not in a "plenty of bitches in the club" way, and i use them equally against both genders.
It IS all in how you approach them.




Depending on how the mood struck me, I'd probably either ignore them like the insignificant weasels they are, or shoot something smartass back (which is dangerous) about their freudian insecurities, or complain to the manager that they should be requested to STFU or leave before they ruined the deli's chances of retaining customers. I was at a party once when I told a guy who called me a dirty ho that I get paid for being called that, so he needed to quit unless he was going to get out his wallet. Not true, of course, but the fact that I out-cruded him shut him up. Which, again, I generally don't recommend that confrontational style but it's hard sometimes to grant the idiots amnesty. So no, I don't think it's appropriate public behavior.

I don't like it, and I won't let any music with words like nigga, bitch, ho, etc., be played in my house. I might have to live with it out in public, but I don't have to put up with it at home.





I don't see how those two examples are similar enough to be placed before and after the customary comma in an analogy.
Let's try it class:
Woman is to Bitch, as Black person is to Nigger. Umm, no.
The comparability/relationship of the factors to themselves, on either side of the equation, differs so much from the relationship on the other side, that they are incomparable. Thus your example is analogically unsound.
IMO, the only thing they have both have in common, is "appropriateness".
With regard to Vyanka's example (and to answer the original question), some people don't know when it is appropriate for them to use certain words.
For your example, certain people refuse to accept that it is never appropriate for them to use either.
I'm offended by the ignorance of both.
I think people are really behind the times and dense when I hear words used against women in a derogatory way. Shouldnt everyone know by now how ridiculous it is?!





Bitch rolls off the tongue better than nigger does, which is probably why it is more popular. That's one downside to have a derogatory name that is easy to say: people use it more often.
A classic.
The last 25 seconds of this video changed my life forever.
You can't love something you think is flawless - me





Agreed, also "Bitch" is more inclusive. A bitch is a coward, in addition to the more "traditional"(if you will) definition/s. I grew up calling men bitches, and pussies. It is the worst thing you can call a man.
So in the "rules" of cursing, (lol) anybody can be a bitch, any race, color, or gender.
Not everyone can be called a Nigger.
Calling a White person one, is like when your religious great-grandmother once shouted "What the Damn"?
That's why they can't really be compared....unless you're a Nincom-Phucking-Poop!
