Capture the Bitch



I had a long chat with one of the cousins today. Oh, about this and that and the other thing. But one thing really stood out to me. Somewhere along the line, women have given up the right to the word "Bitch" and it's about time women reclaim it.

(I am definitely not talking about female dogs here.)

If a man wants to call a woman a bitch, he generally has some problems. He's not an Alpha male. He feels threatened. And he's waiting for her to piss all over him.

Now, somehow, this has been turned around to be seen as a bad thing. When, where, and why, I have no idea. Now, I don't believe in men being allowed to cuss women out and being allowed to walk away with body parts intact. All those nasty names, they're just words, once glorious and not harm filled, that have been turned on their head and made ugly.

But what I'm talking about is being able to claim the inner Alpha female, the inner bitch inside you. The strong, powerful part of womanhood that really is scary, with teeth and claws and knows that she has the will to survive.

So, when the dust settles, and the heat comes down, it's better to know you have an inner Bitch to call on. Sometimes she's all you have left at the end of the day.
