“Bitch” Modern Uses

Typically the word “Bitch” is not used as a derogatory term towards women in a modern context. Yes it can still be used for that but as of recent years the definition is closely regarded as someone who is extremely rude and disrespectful. Other uses can be used to show a person [woman] as being strong and powerful or derogatory towards a person [women].

Add the following paragraph to the first sentence of the first paragraph. “Bitch” as a term was derived from Old English and translated to modern English is the equivalent of “Female Dog”. 2600:6C4A:4CF0:94D0:FD5E:61DF:3FAB:11D0 (talk) 23:09, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This would give added context to the word if added in. 2600:6C4A:4CF0:94D0:FD5E:61DF:3FAB:11D0 (talk) 23:12, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
