That's right! :)

Often times it's the way people use the term. For a long time I'd rather have been called the "C word" than bitch, but once I stopped giving it so much power I don't hate it so much. See it's not the word that has the power, it's the way in which it's said. I could call someone a "Stupid chair head" and mean it with so much venom I may as well have called them the "C word" or bitch.

ME TOO! IF ONLY IT MEANT THAT EXACTLY. DOGS ARE SUPERIOR TO HUMANS WHEN IT COMES TO TRUE FRIENDSHIP, LOYALTY, AND THEY ARE ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE YOU. pLUS, DOGS DON'T JUDGE YOU ON LOOKS OR PERSONALITY. aND THEY ALWAYS FORGIVE YOU.

people are only offended by it when it is said and meant to be an insult

I don't know why but It don't bother me I take it as a complement and I tell them that I give lessons on how to be a bitch free of charge
