This brings to mind the book by Sheri Orlov, Why Men Love Bitches.

It's a pretty good read and advocates for having a backbone and reveling in it.

While watching a dog show, a judge remarked “well, isn’t that a fine looking bitch!” (With an English accent)

Im thinking,wow, I also laughed. The bitch was fine looking 😊

When they f.ck around I tell them I'm not a bitch, I am THE BITCH. I'm tired of these people womansplaining, anything about mass rapes??? It depends on the rapist!! Some women have called me names, others have praised me. Some men have called me names, others have praised me.

When I get called "bitch" I tell them I am going to show them a new definition of that word. That generally shuts them up too. That any woman, or any man for that matter, would condone rape is repulsive. That is why there is a sickness in so much of society starting with the feminists who refused to condemn the mass sexual violence of October 7. There is a special place in hell for those women especially.

I'd happily dispatch them myself.

You need to publish a book of your essays. It would absolutely be a best seller!

Another superb piece. I have sent it to most (actually all) of my friends (not on Substack).

FAAFO should be the next viral acronym.

Remember (beware mansplaining ahead) a great Jewish sage once said “if you can’t say fuck, you can’t say fuck the government“. Lotta wisdom there. Good post might even border on important.

I am not afraid of a bit of mansplaining. I live with 3 men. I get it all the time :) I like the saying. I am going to embrace it wholeheartedly. Thanks for the compliment.
