And, of course, there's the verb "to bitch," which means complaining to your friends of either gender about the inconvenience of having to have sex-less snow tires put on your equally sex-less car by Les Schwab attendants both male and female who work hard but nonetheless have six hours of cars ahead of you -- six hours of work on cars driven by women and men who are also complaining to their guy and gal friends about the wait. Synonyms here might be "whine, moan, and gripe," and not one of them describes only female behavior.<br><br>So while the noun and the adjective originally referred negatively to women, I guess the verb form hearkens back to the days when men perceived that even the mildest, most tepid complaint from their women was mere confirmation that, darn it all, they needed to be watched out for. <br><br>Particularly if it was "that time of the month."

distinction between "bitchy" and "bitch," though. One is a noun, the other
an adjective and by inference less pejorative. And I don't tally by gender so

RE: [Vision2020] The new The Saga Continues...</div>
<div><br></div>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.<br><br>And women know
"dismissal" and "denigration" all too well . . . <br><br><font color="#8064a2"><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3"><font face="Verdana">Keely<br>www.keely-prevailingwinds.com<br></font></font></font><br><br><br><br>

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.<br>Palin took aim at
Newsweek's eye-catching cover this week that shows the former vice
presidential candidate in her running outfit - <font size="6"><strong>an image that was apparently lifted from a
</strong></font><a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-243-410--13221-1-1X2X3X4-5,00.html"><font size="6"><strong>Runner's World photo shoot</strong></font></a><font size="5"> months ago</font>. Writing <a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=175955933434"><strong>on
her Facebook page</strong></a> Monday night, Palin said the
depiction is flat out "sexist, and oh-so-expected."<br>"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."<br>"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.<br>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."<br>Palin has held back few punches at
the media in the initial stages of her publicity tour. The
former governor <a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=174541533434"><strong>slammed
the Associated Press</strong></a> for its recent fact check that
took issue with several of the memoir's contentions and, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/11/16/palin.oprah/index.html"><strong>in
her Oprah appearance</strong></a> that aired Monday, Palin slammed
the way the media treated her family during the campaign.<br>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."<br></div></div></font></div>
