Oh, ffs, lighten up. The nickname doesn't have anything to do with the fact that "bitch" is one letter off "batch" or anyth--

Oh, wait.

[sarillia]

So because it's a pun, no one can be upset by it? That's a weird argument.

[(Anonymous)]

I just think it's a ridiculous thing to be upset by. But I am old and cranky and set in my ways and "gendered insults" apparently don't ping me as much as Tumblr says they should.

I mean, they're insults. They're supposed to be nasty.

[sarillia]

That's fair. I don't like telling people to be offended. I just wish I could say that I am offended without people telling me I'm wrong. Personally I'd rather be called a dyke than a bitch and I have a lot more interest in reclaiming the former. I don't think that's the "correct" way to feel or anything, but somehow that's how my experiences with the words have affected me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm the same (as a dyke). I was banned from an LJ comm for insisting on referring to myself as such, because the mod was queer, ie bi, and found it so ~offensive, and I kept giving links to main lesbian websites with "dyke" in it, like, it's our identity you know, this is what all my friends use like air for breathing. I have never been so angry online.

Whereas bitch, eh, yeah, it's a lot more fraught for me, "dyke" is possible to be reclaimed entirely positively, and its negative use is very easy to be called out as negative, but I'm not sure "bitch" is at this stage? It's too mixed up with (imo) unhealthy ways women behave and continue to embrace that are a strategy for dealing with sexism. If it was just guys flinging it at women who stepped out of line, that would be easier. That said, I get some people reclaim it, and good on them. It's just not something I find comfortable myself.

[(Anonymous)]

No, because it's a pun, "buddies" isn't a substitute.

If someone could come up with a different suitable word that's only one letter off from "batch", that would be a substitute.

[sarillia]

Ah okay. That makes more sense.

Cumberbutchers?

[elephantinegrace]

You know, since a lot of them are creepy enough already?
