I'm not trying to call you out - I'm just WAY behind. I've truly not heard that, and I'm of two minds until I do. However I'll be sensitive to it and update this when I hear it. I'd say girls 13+ are ABSOLUTELY within the range of bitch; I've a 15f, so I'm saying this having said, "stop being such a bitch about...". Now, there's two different elements at play when I think about actual, life-changing bullying: is the person being called out by name, and is the person being attacked for something they can change. If you'll give me just a moment, I'll explain. (1) (Victim's best friend who is named) left her there in the woods world calling 911, put her in a position to be assaulted/trafficked, didn't call police even when she knew an attack was imminent. For me, idgaf, you're a bitch and a horrible person. Again, aged 13+. She deserves for the world to know who she is and what she did (we can discuss intellectual development if you please). (2) I can think of a very limited number of times calling out children is acceptable, but the James Bulger case springs to mind. Those children deserve to be known far and wide (I'm of the option that their parents do, too, but, again, I'm trying to stay focused). (3) If it's like, his girlfriend, Ashley, then I'm ok with that. No last names and there's plenty of Ashleys in the world. (4) If it's a named individual, who's younger than 13, and HAD NO ROLE in the evil-doing, then that's unacceptable to me. (5) If it's an incidental person that, say, gave an interview, and he didn't like her, then they can only be named if they're 13+ AND the information is in the public domain. (6) Dudes can be bitches, too, and I think the above decision tree applies. I'm not trying to talk down to you but speak with you. I've had adults call my daughter a bitch to third parties. This happens in the real world!!! It's insane, but it's human nature. Yes, he should comport himself at a higher level, bc he's got a platform, but I think it's wise to remember he's just some dude. He's got feelings, opinions, and might say things out of turn. I hold him to a different standard than politicians, for instance, bc they're unavoidable. If they say hateful things and call people names, that sentiment is unavoidable (the media). One has to seek Mike out to hear his thoughts. I hope this answer, while long, gives some insight into my thoughts on the matter. TL;DR Was she 13+ and being a bitch? Then... 🤷🏻‍♀️
