Where did the word bitch stem from, what is its origin , we all know a bitch is a female dog but how did it become a disrespectful & derogatory term for woman? I even heard women who despise being called a bitch use the very same term to address fellow women yet excuse me for saying “bitch” when we men use that very same term…. Do you call women bitches & would you call your mother a bitch? I tend to call women bitches however not in front of women because I due respect them when I do classify a woman as a Bitch in her face is when she excessively barks for no reason hence stop bitching, however some men act like women & they too are called bitches hence bitch ass nigga. Question is how did the word evolve from female dog to a everyday used careless disrespectful derogatory term or even term of affection hence that’s my bitch or I love that bitch....... just curious what yal take on this
