Please don't refer to any person with the word that means a female dog.

62. I'm trying to think of who I'd use that term to describe

Ann Coulter, I'm sure there were times I thought she was a bitch. I'm thinking mean, hypocritical, completely cynical and shitty... not female dog. Is that really what comes to your mind when you hear that? Female dog? Rumsfeld and Cheney are bastards, in the sense that they are male equivalents of Coulter. Not that their fathers didn't marry their mothers. No ordinary person thinks of those terms in the sense of their original meanings.

These words don't offend my sensibilities when they are used appropriately. I wouldn't use them around someone who would be offended because they're someone who just doesn't swear much, or at all. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. If it's someone who's going to call me, or think of me as, a misogynist or misandrist because I used one of those words, well, I guess I'd just do my best to avoid their company.

I'm an animal lover and I spend too much of my hard earned money caring for animals that no one else around here will and yet there are people who'd think a little less of me because I eat eggs, drink milk, and have a leather belt and shoes. F them. I'm probably close to your age and I have a fair amount of stress in my life. That, and the fact that I'm very aware I don't have unlimited time in this world, has made me just about completely intolerant of bullshit and nonsense. I know what I am and what I'm not. If someones going to think me a misogynist or enemy of animals they better back those accusations up with something more than that I eat eggs or think Ann Coulter is a bitch.

PS: I am aware the word "bitch" can be, and is, often used in clearly misogynistic ways. We all know it when we hear it. It's plain as day whats meant and that is very offensive to any decent person. Misogyny is offensive, not our language.
