Does any1 besides me hate when they refer to female dogs as bitches?

[DoggyLuva1128]

I definitely hate it!

 

[chloesowner]

I dont like it at ALL

 

[beagle_lovergirl]

Well that's what they called female dogs even before it "became" a cuss word, it's the human mind's fault anyway. Also when we say it as in the female dog, it's not offensive and it sounds more proffesional

 

[Meggie]

I'd hate it worse if it was directed at me.

Seriously though, it's just a word that, used properly, describes a female dog. The slang use of it came afterwards. Long story short, if it's used in it's proper form it doesn't bother me.

 

[chloesowner]

I wanna know why I became such a bad word.

 

[rottnpagan]

It's just a word. And I prefer to use it than to say 'furkids' or 'my girl dog', although I do the latter.

Because some yahoo in the distant past thought it would be funny to call a woman a female dog?

Bitch = dog == have sex left and right dont care with who == promiscuis women == deragatory cuss word.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head there

I know it was the proper way to call a female dog, but since that curse been around since I was born, it's always irritated me.

Who cares? Its not the word its the context its used in.

 

[yuckaduck]

Of all the female dogs that I have dealt with I can honestly say I know why they recieved that name. I find that they tend to be snarky and moody at times. Not say they are not great dogs, Hope is great but moody as heck. THere are times when the kids cannot go near her and other times they can sit right with her.

 

[Dreeza]

yeah, i absolutely hate it...even when i hear some professional dog person use it in proper contexts...its just an ugly word...i dont care how proper it is in a situation...lol

so yeah, i totally agree with you

 

[nedim]

Exactly

 

[DoggyLuva1128]

yup it's terrible. If it's so proper why does it sound so cruel. Can't they just refer to them as females. The males don't have such a cruel name!

Its not a big deal. I'm sure your dog won't take any offense to it, either.lol

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

It it refers to an intact female dog, I don't mind. But if it refers to a human, I do mind.

 

[SummerRiot]

lmao I think its a perfectly fine word to use for them.. because thats what they are when they are in heat lmao!

Anyone who has had a large number of females in one house will understand what i'm talking about

 

[GlassOnion]

Oh come on. It is not a cruel word. It was MADE into a cruel word.

If it makes you feel any better a female cat is called a Queen.

 

[Vega]

It's all in your head people.
