<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>At the risk of offending everybody (which I have done on numerous
occasions) and given the distinction between "bitch" and "bitchy" Ms. Hovey
has <FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>perspicaciously</STRONG></FONT> made, here's
another viewpoint:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When a minority person, a homosexual, or a woman do not perform well
in a particular job/position and their performance does not rise to
expectations even with careful mentoring and monitoring, management is
often reluctant to remove that person for fear of being labeled or sued for
being "racist", "homophobic", "sexist", etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is an insidious form of discrimination also. Not only is it
unjustified special treatment, but it is counterproductive -- it tends to help
justify and to perpetuate incorrect stereotypes and bad feelings, leaving
incompetents to be thought of as general representatives of their class and of
as undeserving also.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tom posted a dictionary definition of "bitchy." There is no gender
reference in that definition. There is none in the <EM>Encarta</EM>
definition nor is there any in <EM>The New American Oxford Dictionary</EM>
definition. This is true of the word itself and <STRONG><FONT
color=#ff0000>of the referents to which it may be
applied</FONT></STRONG>. None of the definitions of "bitchy", unlike
those definitions for "jezebel", e.g., specify that the referent is
female.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If someone is malicious, spiteful, petulantly childish, etc, they are
bitchy. The word describes behavior completely under the control of the
person to whom it is applied, and moreover, behavior that is generally
destructive. It is not like the n-word, "squaw", "poof", "cunt" or
...(well, you get the idea) traits that are either hereditary or
nondestructive. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Unless someone has lived in a convent most of your life, it is
strange that they have not heard the word "bitchy" used to describe both
men and women who are spiteful, petulant, etc. In fact, there are
several male clerks and proprietors in Moscow/Pullman businesses and
males in Moscow/Pullman government to which the word "bitchy" is applied not
infrequently.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bitching about applying the word "bitchy" to a woman for whom the
word correctly describes is like the insidious discrimination described
above. Are women to get special treatment by being secured from being
called "bitchy" even those the word fits and has long ago lost its gender
reference? <STRONG><FONT size=4>That's what sounds very sexist to
me</FONT></STRONG>, like not firing an incompetent woman for fear of being
falsely labeled as "sexist." And such insistence that we not accurately
use the word "bitchy" is bound to be counterproductive -- leading those
of either gender who bitch about using "bitchy" to describe deserving people
to be described as "bitchy" themselves.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are many places where progress needs to continue to be made with
respect to gender roles. There are cases where language itself can be
very sexist. I suggest to those of us in that battle that we worry
more about derogatory terms whose referents are female or imply undesirable
clearly feminine traits rather than words like "bitchy" whose
referents have long ago became genderless.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>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." You know how we get . . . <BR><BR><FONT

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

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

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
