We must live in two different worlds.  In mine "bitchy" means 
childishly petulant.  In my world women use the term much more than men, 
and use it unisexually.

I'm with Gary on this one (sorry, Gary).  "Bitchy" and 
  forms thereof may be something leveled at a guy, like "Hey, dude, just stop 
  bitchin' about it!"  But at its core, and as the etymology confirms, it's 
  the denigrating of a woman by likening her to a she-dog.  When McCain 
  staffers called Hillary Clinton a bitch, the offense wasn't that they were 
  mean to her; they could just as easily have said she was "an arrogant a--hole" 
  or something equally snotty.  But "bitch" is the pejorative you need when 
  you want to cut a woman down or put her in her place, and even its recent 
  androgynous use -- along the lines of "Hey, car bitch!  Go get my 
  Corvette!" for the parking valet -- is meant to demean the object as someone 
  worthy of dismissal and denigration.

And women know "dismissal" and 
  "denigration" all too well . . .

  I am unaware that calling anyone, man or woman, "bitchy" is 
  sexist, but a matter of fact in the context of "arms akimbo."

  Perhaps, you need to stop looking at the world through 
  keyholes.

    I think she looks.....fine. 

    What's amusing is a remark that denies the 
    out of context use of the photo as sexist followed by comment that includes 
    the term "bitchy."

      Perhaps I missed something, but where does it say it was 
      used without permission.  I do not have access to the contract 
      between Runner's World and Ms. Palin, but in my experience such 
      photo shoot contracts give total control of the material created to the 
      payer for the photo shoot.  Perhaps you have other 
      information.

      In any case, Palin did give permission for the photo to 
      be used by Runner's World.  I hardly think the 
      photo sexist, but with her arms akimbo, she does look a little 
      bitchy.

        Considering the text on that cover and the 
        fact that the photo was taken for an article to appear in Runners World 
        magazine and used without permission one sort of has to wonder how this 
        rag justifies calling itself "Newsweek." Perhaps Left Wing Opinionweak 
        would be more appropriate. Considering their dwindling circulation, I 
        suppose it hardly matters.

          Let's see.  Didn't she pose for 
          the photo at issue for distribution in a magazine, or was that some 
          egregious impostor?

          Palin slams 'sexist' Newsweek cover
          Posted: November 17th, 2009 12:06 PM

>From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

          Palin is not happy with the latest 
          Newsweek cover.
          (CNN) - Sarah Palin's 
          image is everywhere as she launches a highly-anticipated book tour 
          this week, but the former Alaska governor is unhappy with at least one 
          media organization's depiction of her.
Palin took aim at Newsweek's 
          eye-catching cover this week that shows the former vice presidential 
          candidate in her running outfit - an image that 
          was apparently lifted from a Runner's World photo shoot months ago.  Writing on 
          her Facebook page Monday night, Palin said the depiction 
          is flat out "sexist, and oh-so-expected."
"The choice of photo for 
          the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to 
          Sarah Palin, this 'news' magazine has relished focusing on the 
          irrelevant rather than the relevant," Palin wrote. "The out-of-context 
          Newsweek approach is sexist, and oh-so-expected by now."
"If anyone 
          can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by 
          its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to 
          draw attention – even if out of context," Palin also said.
The 
          photo is accompanied by text that states "How Do You Solve A Problem 
          Like Sarah? She's bad news for the GOP - and for everybody else 
          too."
Palin has held back few punches at the media in the initial 
          stages of her publicity tour.  The former governor slammed 
          the Associated Press for its recent fact check that took 
          issue with several of the memoir's contentions and, in 
          her Oprah appearance that aired Monday, Palin slammed the 
          way the media treated her family during the campaign.
The Alaska 
          Republican also doesn't hold back in her book, writing at one point, 
          "I had been out of journalism for a long time, and it was pretty 
          obvious the rules had changed. I felt sick about the depths to which 
          some in the press had apparently sunk, not because it was unfair to me 
          and John, but because it was unfair to the American 
          electorate."
