The word. What the hell?
Ok a little history. Ancient Rome was ruled by pagans. The goddess Artemis was a huntress and was often depicted with dogs. She was referred to as the Great Bitch. So when the Christians came along, they needed a way to make paganism undesirable, so they made "bitch" a swear word. And all of the followers of Artemis were called Sons of Bitches. So it's purely a Christian swear word.
Just a side note to point out that bitch refers to the goddess and a son of a bitch refers to anyone else. BUT it still puts the blame on the woman.
So there are a few different ways to call someone a bitch. For the sake of this post I'll just use two: man can be called a "little bitch" and women who are mean or stubborn can be called a bitch.
Ok what now? Bitch means unnaturally submissive and unnaturally dominating? How can that BE?
