nah cus lwk you are cooking when i call myself a bitch it feels like reclaiming the title 😭😭 it's a derogatory word for women who speak their minds and don't make themselves small, and if saying it as a positive is hugely counter-culture than it's def a slur

But if it’s used against a man it means he’s a coward :P

It's more generally used towards dogs and the weak. Only sexists use it predominantly towards women

i don’t ever hear it offensively towards dogs. It is often used towards the weak because they use femininity as a characteristic of weakness.
