The B word and the disrespect shown on this board

You are a rare man indeed. In intelligent observation on an IMDB thread. Kudos for attempting to bring a little enlightenment to the conversation.
I had a much longer rant here but decided to delete it after reading the very last remark at the end of this thread. This "fluff-person" has decided to share with us his knowledge that we can thank the Black culture specifically Black Rap and Hip-Hop for saturating our society with the word.
I decided to Google the origins of the current popular use of the topic of our discussion and this is what I found and thought some of you might enjoy reading it. The author of the essay is Clare Bayley who wrote it for a class on "Feminist Political Thought" at MIT. Please don't let the course title keep you from reading her paper.

Respect must be earned. It isn't automatically owed simply because you have a vagina.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it. -

Why bring Vicki's race into it at all?
I might bring it up to illustrate the point that the same people who whine about "whitewashing" seem to have no problem with "blackfacing."

She was a total BITCH. I was waiting for her to be slapped. She was a crazy BITCH.
As a female I approve the use of this word in referring to her
Pro-Choice not Pro-Abortion

You will notice that the first few definition are not gender specific. They are using slang, most of which was to put emphasis on the character's excessive nagging and/or complaining.
Personally, I believe their relationship was over the top. It was so bad that I was just glad one of them died so it would end. Furthermore, she honestly didn't seem resonable at all. No one in the movie did. The little boy trying to warn her husband was the most reasonable character, in my opinion. If he had listened to her and kept driving, they would have lived. That doesn't mean she is reasonable. She was actually very frantic, espeically in her attempts to insult her husband.
Anyways, you may be a lot happier if you calmed down and didn't take offense so quickly. -

Because she WAS a bitch. It has nothing to do with her being a woman! (Go watch the Mother's Day remake. Plenty of woman in that and
none
are bitches)
The first time we meet her she's yelling at her boyfriend, and then when he accidentally runs a kid over, which he's PROBABLY in shock over, she starts screaming at him non-stop about how he just murdered a boy and is going to jail (when it turns out he didn't even cause the boy's death) Not to mention she constantly takes shot at him every single time she can. So no, she's called a bitch because that's what she is. -

I am a woman, and after her first little rant my first thought was 'What a bitch!". That opinion did not improve throughout the movie. I don't think it is right to refer to all women as bitches, but in some cases it fits. This is one of them. And what do her looks have to do with anything? Pretty women can be just as bitchy as less attractive ones.
She blames him for everything, yells constantly, deliberately pushes all his buttons, and denigrates his military service. Where I am from, that is considered being a bitch by women as much as by men. -

I'm a woman and I thought she was a bitch. Black, White, Asian, Puerto Rican, I don't give a damn. I'd have bitch slapped her too. She was a foul mouthed, disrespectful, harridan. Sure she made some good points at times such as "there's no cars. no people." but that only gets you so far. She's one of those people we clearly refer to as too stupid to live.

Now see, you used a GREAT substitute for the word 'bitch'. Harridan is a fantastically wonderful descriptive word. I love it. She can be called a harpy, a shrew, a HARRIDAN,
HA! Just for giggles I looked up 'bitch' in the Thesaurus on the 'Urban Dictionaries' site. According to what I read, if an expletive is needed 'bitch' seems to be the least offensive, at least to me.
Sadly, HARRIDAN didn't come up as an option. BUT, when you put 'harridan' in the Thesaurus 'bitch' does pop up and the number one replacement word choice.
Kinda funny,

Black men (and women) call women bitches. It started with black rap music 20 years back. You put that into popular culture and the result is some more decay of society. As usual white people have been responsible for the advancement of civilisation and black people are responsible for the destruction of civilisation. Just look at Detroit.

Aw come one, really? You're going to blame the Black culture for the overuse of the word 'bitch' in our society?
I think you are a TROLL attempting to start an even larger fight.
I found this website, I think you'd benefit from reading it before you continue making such inflammatory remarks.
