AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Okay, I am going to HURT someone....I am sooo angry....
So, a facebook friend's facebook status said "fuck you fuck you." Someone I am NOT friends with commented on his status "you're a bitch." This all came up on my news feed. I decided to say something about the word 'bitch.' And this is the debate that ensued.....
"bitch is a negatively gendered bad word used to oppress womyn for centuries....hmmmmm"
Ilya Rakoshes"bitch is a negatively gendered bad word used to oppress womyn for centuries...
bitch is a unisex word used to express some form of negative sentiment towards all kinds ofl people in the modern day. stop living in the past, silly woMAN"
Jessy Lynn Sigler: "Wow Ilya. I don't know you but I am highly offended. Way to be an ally to womyn David....
Just thought I would let you know that your comment on David's status really offended me and it was highly inappropriate and degrading. You might want to think about what you say before you say it. And think about the historical connotations of your wording and the centuries of oppression placed upon womyn, with the use of that word. Additionally, I am personally very upset because I have serious issues with male patriarchy, which you so obviously exhibited. I have a long history of sexual assault and battery and I hope you know that you have just reinforced the oppression I have already felt as a womyn. I dont' know you, but I feel the need to tell you about your insensitivity and unfortunate actions.
Thank you for your time,
Jessica
I haven't assaulted you, and I sure as hell haven't even called you a bitch. Can you even name one thing I've done to oppress you besides emphasizing the proper spelling of the word woman? Feel free to read my response to David's status for the rest of what I think.
Woman.

By using the term "bitch" you have reinforced centuries of oppression womyn have been facing. Similar to the "n" word. And I can spell womyn with a 'y' whenever I damn well please, it is a form of resistance, you should look it up. And of course you wouldn't think you have done anything to me, you have your fucking male privilege and you are content with that shit. By calling me a 'woman' again, after I have discussed this matter with you in a polite and respectful way, you have gone and disrespecting me AGAIN. Could you show some fucking respect and just back off? I get it, you think I'm a 'militant feminist." I'm sorry I have a voice and assert it when I feel MALE PATRIARCHY is being exerted on me by some fucking douche bag. Fuck you.
So when I call David - a male, let me remind you, though he may be effeminate at times - a bitch, I'm somehow reinforcing female oppression? Please. Get with the times: everybody and their grandmother is using bitch in a completely casual way. Did I even imply that I was calling David a bitch in anything but a playful way? Did I put my big patriarchal foot down on him and stamp out his rights? Not at all. You're welcome to continue getting worked up over nothing, but don't expect me to apologize for something I said to my best friend just because you didn't like how it sounded.
THAT'S THE END OF THAT.....DOUCHE BAG....
he is such a fucking problem.
