I’m still pissed and surprised that you called me a bitch (more than once, on two separate occasions) and I let it slide. I accepted your apology but really I didn’t because now all I can see are giant red flags waving in front of my face. Any man who texts “hey bitch” to a girl is a nasty person. In my opinion it’s the worst thing you can call a girl. You blamed it on hip hop music too. That’s funny. I must be slow or something just realizing this now, how stupid I have been. Consider me not talking to you anymore a very delayed reaction. Demon prick. —Can’t Believe I Slept With You

1)There are worse words if you just mosey down the alphabet a ways.
2)Context is everything.
3)”Blame it on hip-hop, BWA HA HA HA HA HA. FOR. THE. WIN.
I can think of a few worse words to call a woman. Not gonna chance taking the heat by mentioning them on here tho
..bitch/beeatche/biotche meh..now the C word..:)
Let’s see now, that word is so common, it’s ridiculous. Between music and movies where everyone calling one else bitches (including females to females), it doesn’t even rate as an insult anymore.

I know it says he, but still….
how is that ANY different from women calling all men dogs?
they’re literally the same thing and, though not the greatest….
certainly not anywhere near the worst.
cum-dumpster
Give yourself a little pat on the back, OB. At least you see the red flags NOW. There’s no place for derogatory names in a healthy, grown up relationship.
This guy sounds like a real winner. I could eat vegetable soup and shit out a more intelligent conversation then one that starts with ,”hey bitch”.
now let’s see, slut, pig, whore, cum dumpster, they are just a few. would it be better, if you were called one of them? o.p., get a thicker skin, for fuck’s sake, oh,. did i just offend you too? well then, suck it the fuck up, and move on, that easy.
It’s not just hip hop.

Good bitch, bitch! Sorry couldn’t resist. Dude sounds like a total moron, you don’t have to take that. Blamin it on hip hop.. good lord
If he calls you ‘bitch’, then insist he be called ‘Fucking Moron’. In front of his friends. In front of his mom.
You did the right thing by baling on this wanker.
I blame everything on Hip-Hop!
Interesting, even ironic, to see an ‘anti-bitch’ bitch on a Bitch Board!
Like Hitler… and e. coli… and harper being elected.
FUCK YOU T-PAIN!
Hip-Hop is da DEBIL!!

For me, it’s all about context.
So this could go either way — either OB’s in the right, or OB needs to lighten up.
I can’t really make a judgement without knowing further details.
my boyfriend calls me bitch all the time but never in a serious manner. lighten up.
you gonna take that?!?!?
you should dump him and go out with tommy… or brend.
🙂
when people call me a bitch and are serious about it, i just agree with it. don’t give the word any power. if they’re just joking around i just laugh and come back at them with a name.
There are lots of more offensive words than “bitch”. You sound annoying and have no sense of humour.
Offensive is subjective. What offends you might not offend someone else. You must try and understand this Stevie.. try… lean in close to the screen and use your mind Stevie.. closer Stevie.. that’s it..
lol just kiddin dude, that was my montrealman impression.
I’ll joke around with female friends like “you’re such a bitch” but to greet someone like that? A girl you’re dating at that? I dunno, I’d call that disrespectful, or too familiar/comfortable. I wouldn’t want to be addressed like that.
As long as i know that you’re joking i don’t really care how i’m addressed. maybe i’ll like it haha
Yeah me and my friends call each other every name in the book including that word, but if you don’t know someone that well it’s probably not a great idea. If this guy knew OP well he would know that she doesn’t appreciate that.
i think they’re a tadbit over sensitive. like… theyve never called anyone a bitch before?
oh you *guys*
Lol Tommy, you forgot to say “try not to move your mouth while reading to yourself”. What an ass!!

Well if being called a bitch is the worst you can come up with….you must be from lalaland !
Because my exwife was a F^(+!#& …C^NT !
& if you can’t figure out what I just wrote, that’s confirmation of where yer from.
All that matters here is that it matters to OP. The clown (not you Meaty) kept using it anyway. It’s their relationship or at least it was.
Of course there are worse things one can be called. If the dumb title weren’t what it is I bet more posters would focus on the point instead of arguing over which words are more offensive.
Someone saying, “Hey cunt” to me wouldn’t offend me any more than “Hey bitch”… they’re both disrespectful, who cares which is worse…
Blaming it on hip-hop music? That’s hilarious… What is he, in junior high?
tommy,
You’ve done it now. Montrealman will now call you a half-wit, look a word up in the Oxford Dictionary to explain something, quote something from Aristotle and go all philisophical on yo ass.

I can only give you a “B” grade on your “Montrealman impression” Tommy. Bringing Stephen’s face close in to the screen was good but you were light on the subjective variability of the perception of offensive remarks. A fertile field for further exploration which you might consider developing.

Not bad Senor – the move from a definition of terms and then invoking the reflections of a first-rate philosopher on the issue – but your conclusion to the effect that I go “all philosophical on yo ass” disappointed, you halfwit.

I start my text to hub unit all the time: S’up, Bitch?” We like to call each other dirty, nasty names…bitch is actually kind of cute when you consider the other words we commonly use as terms of endearment when we are just carrying on. Maybe it’s a cultural thing? Like where people grow up or originate from? I’ll often be with my “town” friends and say something totally innapropriate and they will be all “omg, I can’t believe you just said that!” and had I said it with my other group, everyone would have just laughed and got it and not been shocked at all. It’s just a different way. Sometimes one way slips into the other in error lol.
Question: how do you get a philosopher off your porch?
Answer: pay for the pizza.
or, in this case…. poutine…
and shitty poutine at that.
like the kind that uses crap frozen fries, watery gravy, cheapo shredded cheese instead of curds, and gives you the gunshot splattering shits for a day and a half.
MM. You never cease to amaze me with your continuous intellectual babbling.
The pleasure is all yours.
P.S. I want the works on my large donair pizza.

That’s too bad MM, I’m a pretty good tipper. You could be well on your way to some fancy new suede elbow pads for your courderoy sports jacket, but, suit yourself.
Bitch can be negative or positive in ebonic. Like if he called you “ma bitch” that’s showing ownership and actually kind of sweet. But if it’s just bitch or (expletive) bitch, then it’s on. Oh no you didn’t, we gon rumble.

Two more posts, Senor! You must restrain yourself. You’re exhausting your meagre resources. Sorry, but I have never read Homer Simpson. In fact I don’t read comics at all. In fact I don’t read fiction either. You’ve got to raise the level of your “literary” references, Senor. Think philosophy. (Is that “joke” considered one of Homer Simpson’s best? I didn’t get it but it beats your feeble “instrument” or “monkey.”)

You pipped me by three minutes, Stephen, forcing me to write a separate reply. Do you realize that writing all these RSVPs is keeping me from composing my scholarly reflections on the philosophical (and sometimes psychological) implications of various bitches and comments?
Speaking of my “scholarly reflections” Stephen, do you realize that I have contributed three comments over the past three days on a particular columnist for The Halifax Chronicle-Herald? I will give no more details. I mean, my God Stephen, you have to do some work!
Yes Stephen, as you say, I am very “fashion forward.”
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Then stop writing RSVP’s, when a simple comment would suffice.
Haha, I watch Homer Simpson, he’s on a cartoon show. It was originally quite progressive, focusing on family issues.
I don’t believe your post is admissible, you’ve apparently never experienced The Simpsons, therefore your opinion on the matter is… How shall I put it, DISMISSED!
If I experience different realities through cartoons, video games, science fiction, and fantasy, then I could argue that that I have a broad grasp of most concepts. It’s also a fallacy to assume that we aren’t exposed to philisophical ideas just because we partake in cartooning. In fact, one of the selling points of animation is that it incorporates many moral and ethical issues, as well as addressing some of the profound philisophical issues that I assume you fill your day with.
RSVPs
: Stephen Harper (05/03, 5:35PM)
Stephen, my RSVP comments to you, for obvious reasons, ARE simple.
: TheCaptain (8:10PM)
It is true that I have never read (or watched) The Simpsons but I think your dismissal of my views on that basis is misplaced. I think that cartoons are age-specific, i.e., intended for the very young. There seems to be an intuitive mismatch between those who “experience different realities through cartoons” and a reasonably mature intellect which would be more concerned with the world-view of the cartoonist himself if, that is, one cared to read or watch them.
To claim that you have a “broad grasp of most concepts” on the basis of your various cartoonish pursuits is open to question. I won’t be diffficult and ask which concepts, but it does seem obvious that a cartoon, being a cartoon, is by its nature cartoonish where, by “cartoonish” is to be understood as being over-simplified at best and little more than a caricature at worst. I would, as a consequence, be very interested about those “profound philosophical issues” you claim to have addressed.
In any case, I note that your comment was 13 lines in length which, of course, exceeds most others by a considerable margin. Do you think it is the result of my beneficial influence on the quality of some commenters’ thoughts?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio
*AHEM…. cough cough*
http://images4.fanpop.com/image/answers/27…
You are correct. “Cartoons” are age specific, and there are many that are tailored towards adults specifically. So while some are obviously aimed at a young audience, most serious cartoonists try to reach an older audience. And by watching a cartoonist’s work you are in fact experiencing their ‘world-view’ as is projected through their art. One of my favorites, Hayao Miyazaki, is an avid environmentalist and philanthropist. These themes are prevalent in his films; he addresses (as well as do other artists) issues of whether animals have the capability of sentient thought, whether A.I. have a ‘right to life’, the role of a God in society and how it effects people, time travel paradoxes, alternate realities or parallel dimensions, the degradation of a culture in a post-apocalyptic setting, as well as other concepts.
I never claimed that I DID have a grasp of most concepts, I said it was open to argument. Please don’t put words in my mouth.
You can’t generalize all cartoons as an over simplification (only superficially at best). They are another form of communication, like music, painting, or interpretive dance. They’re all forms of expression, through different mediums. You shouldn’t knock it just because you don’t understand it.
I find these drawn out explanations tedious. I prefer, where possible, to provide a simple post. As for your ‘Beneficial Influence’ (I’ll not address the arrogance behind such a remark) you do cause posters to more completely explain themselves, which can create a better understanding of a subject. For me, I find explaining simple such statements, as I said, tedious.

MM, they aren’t called cartoons anymore, you dipshit. They are called “animated films”. Only a small minded idiot would discount something they are not familiar with or fully understand. As you have admitted, you are not an authority on this subject, and for that reason alone, your assertion must be dismissed. Educate yourself on a subject before you commit yourself to an unfounded bias.

Owing to its size, I found it difficult to understand the point the graphic was making. Was it making a point?
: TheCaptain (10:25AM)
It’s not so much a matter of what the artists are “addressing” but rather of what their answer to their “question” they are addressing might be. For example, you state that Hayao Miyazaki addresses the question of whether animals are capable of sentient thought. First, it’s not clear what you mean by “sentient thought.” Isn’t thought conceptual rather than sentient. But after that’s been cleared up, what’s Hayao’s answer and, more importantly, what reasons does he give for that answer. This is called rational discourse, Captain, and even artists do not escape its requirements.
While no one disputes the fact that there are different forms of communication and expression, that, in my view, is all that they are. In philosophy, by contrast, the issue is the question of truth, one which those forms of communication and expression pass by. From a philosophical perspective, one might just say, “Well, so what?”
Finally (I’ll keep this brief to avoid inducing tedium), I found your conclusion odd. While you state that I “do cause posters to more completely explain themselves, which can create a better understanding of a subject,” you then go on to say that “I find explaining simple such statements (sic), as I said, tedious.” If I read that correctly it means that you find improved or more complete explanation tedious. Can that possibly be right?
P.S. My reference to my “beneficial influence” was, as is my custom, facetious. Montrealman must have his bit of fun, after all.
: Stephen Harper (1:06PM)
“As you have admitted, you are not an expert on this subject, and for that reason alone, your assertion must be dismissed.”
But Stephen, either YOU are an expert on this subject – which you have not shown to be the case – or, by direct logical implication, it is YOUR assertion which must be dismissed. It’s called logically shooting oneself in the foot. You do understand that, Stephen, don’t you?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
What assertion?
RSVP
: Stephen Harper (05/04, 7:47PM)
Well Stephen, I’ll say this slowly. It was your assertion to the effect that my assertion to the effect that there was an “intuitive mismatch” between a “mature intellect” and those who “experience different realities through cartoons” (Montrealman, (05/04, 9:19AM) should be dismissed since I am not an expert on the subject. I realize this will involve considerable intellectual stretching on your part Stephen, but think of the sense of achievement you will experience once it is achieved.
A pleasure as always.

It’s sort of funny that you wrote this on a blog called “love the way we bitch”
