What do you think of minorities reclaiming mean words:
Queer, Dyke, Bitch, Whore, Nigga, Ghetto(fab), Pagan, Heathen, Pervert, Freak, Redneck, etc
I think it's pretty powerful to put it other in big bold letters, like DC Eagle's annual DYKE NIGHT. But then again, I think it depends, I don't know. Like I don't see the point of the word bitch, because people who use it are not assertive at all, but usually obnoxious, so it just sounds like they're admitting it.
Also I don't see the point of reclaiming it if you're still upset when someone calls you it. Like if you say you're proud to be a bitch and then someone calls you a bitch and you get mad, and basically act it out. Hmm...
