Augusten BurroughsDoctor, if being a bitch is healthy, then I am the healthiest damn woman on the face of the earth
About This Quote
The word bitch has been used as a term of insult for women for centuries. The idea is that women should be delicate and weak creatures who should not fight back or show their feelings. However, some women have taken this as a challenge and used it as a way to empower themselves and show everyone who they really are. They have used the term bitch with pride because it means that they know their worth and that they are worthy of respect. It is a clever use of language that has made the word a badge of honor instead of a word to be hated by men.
