A man calling me a bxtch is about as hurtful as a man slapping me in the face!

Granted some women DO act like complete bxtches, BUT I think the B word is just 1 of those words you shouldn't use in a relationship. When the B word starts coming out, that's when you've already started throwing low blows

I see other women calling eachother the B word all the time, & hey, if they're ok with that, that's their cup of tea, BUT I personally make it a choice not to call the average woman a B b/c I'd never want my man or ANY man getting the impression that I'm ok with being called that.

Back in high school, I always told other chicks that if they ever called me a B, those were fighting words!

The last guy that called me a bxtch got left! I don't tolerate that word whatsoever, especially if a man is purposely using it to hurt you or if he knows how offended you'd be to be called such a word. Most guys know up front that the B word is just 1 of those words that I'd cut you off for, so if they use it, that must mean 2 things: I've either 1. Pissed them off to the point of rage OR 2. They want to get cut off..& in this case, your wish is my command!

Am I the only woman who doesn't think it's cute or appropriate to be called the "B" word? I've seen alot of gay men calling women B's, but of course they don't mean any harm. STILL, I even let them know that I don't appreciate being called such. It shouldn't kill you to call me by my 1st name or atleast find another word that's less offense.

The way I feel about the B word is the same way I, as an African American feel about being called the N word! Just don't say it! I don't say it so you shouldn't either! You can call everyone else that that allows you to, but NOT me!

Yeah I'm with wgamador... You can't take away all our flavor text 🙂

Oh and how come gay dudes can call you bitch and you think they don't mean any harm but would be offended if a straight guy did it? What if I am smiling when I say it?

I cuss a lot. It's just part of how I talk. It doesn't mean I'm being disrespectful or that I'm angry... they are just words. To me it matters what someone is saying not the words they choose to express their thoughts. As long as the message is understood, deliver it however you like.

PUH-Leez. Calling me bitch is like calling me by name. 😄

Honestly though, it rolls off my back like water.

If I'm being called a bitch, I'm usually acting like one. If I'm being called a bitch, but I don't feel like I'm acting like one....it wouldn't bother me anyway because I know the person is wrong. Nothing anyone could say to me would bother me if I don't feel it's true on some level.

I'm also one of those people that prefer to be told I'm ACTING like a bitch...not that I am one. Just like I've said to many people in my life...you're ACTING like an asshole. I think its important to make that distinction.

Well that's what I meant. If someone uses the word in a negative or inappropriate context (which is usually the case), that's grounds to get left behind.

The B word is just 1 of those words that I just don't like. I don't call others that nor do I appreciate or put up with someone calling me that word. I'm not a hypocrite; I don't go around calling people B's but yet not wanting to hear it when it's said to me. I don't allow my girlfriends to call me the B word so I expect any man I'm with to respect that petpeeve of mine too The way I see it, there are 1 million other words someone can call me. It'd bother me that even in someone else's moment of rage that they can't find ANY other word to call me. That's disturbing

I'm not 1 of those people who takes everything in life too seriously, BUT there are absolutely some words that I just will NOT tolerate being called, regardless of the person or circumstance. The N word is 1 of them. And so is being called a B.

Hey, I get that it shouldn't kill me to be called such a word, BUT why does it kill YOU so bad that you CAN'T say it?! That's a question no one can ever answer for me.

I agree with what someone said above. Respect is key in ALL my relationships, whether they're romatic, blood-line/family or platonic. I would NEVER disrespect my mother & call her a B. 1st off, even if she was being or acting like a B, I'd still know my place & try to find another 500,000,000 words in the English dictionary to call her, other than something so hurtful. Ha! I wish my kids WOULD call me the B word! They'd have dentures the next day!!!

The way I feel about the B word is the same way some women feel about being called a Cxnt or "fat." Or a gay person being called a fxg from someone that isn't homosexual. Like it or not, there are just some words that no matter what are USUALLY meant to harm, embarrass, discredit or break down another person. And to me the B word is 1 of those words. Sure, every blue moon a female will refer to her own female friend as B, BUT let's be honest, the B word is not usually used in a happy/positive context.

Now if someone sayings that I'm "acting like a B" that's different but even then, my eyes would get big & I'd give them that look like yep, go ahead & say it so I can give you the business! No seriously, some words are just not okay.

For instance, I'd fly the coop if during an argument my man blurted out, "You stupid B!" The relationship would be over. Even when someone is full of rage, there should ALWAYS be some form of respect or a line that should not be crossed. Same thing goes with my parents. Family can piss you off the most sometimes, BUT there are just something I would NEVER do or say to my parents. That's just life.

I don't knock others who use the B word AS LONG AS they're not calling me 1. Hey, if it's your cup of tea to call your other friends Bxtches, that's on you. BUT I make it clear up front in all of my relationships with others (romantic or not) that the B word is just NOT ok with me. And if they have a problem with that, it makes me question exactly why they'd argue & fight so hard to call me something that is probably meant to hurt me? Should I really have to explain to a person holding a knife why I'd flip if he were to lung at me with it? I shouldn't have to
