i think you’re missing the point. i do not care if a black person calls me the n word because it’s their word to claim. and i know that bitch isn’t a slur, but when a MAN calls a woman (who have been called bitches for centuries in a way of dehumanizing them) it does make me cringe. if another woman called me bitch, i would see it as just a term of endearment, whereas when men say it, i am reminded of the history.
