Is dignity extinct?
Is it so terrible to be respectful?
Of course, we are all familiar with the phrase, “All men are dogs.” That statement simply isn't true. Not all men are “wanna be players”, and not
all men objectify women. It takes a
sophisticated man to treat a woman with respect. What about the titles given to women? The term bad bitch
has become synonymous with good-looking women.
Some women feel admired when men call them bad bitch. The trouble that I have with that
phrase? My problem with the phrase bad bitch
is that it sounds like a term for someone that has no respect for women. Whatever happened to the days when women had
enough self-respect to not let any man disregard them?
Personally, I don’t like being called a bitch. One day, I asked one of my guy friends, “What
is a bad bitch supposed to mean?” He
told me that it means a pretty woman.
Seriously? So my friend furthered
his answer and said, “You would be considered a bad bitch.” At first I was flattered because that’s not
the first time that I have been called a bad bitch;
however, when my friend and I talked, I realized that the phrase was politically
incorrect. It seems as though no matter
what we do, women will always be some kind of bitch. If we’re evil, we’re a bitch. If we’re gorgeous, we’re a bad bitch. Where is it written?
I can remember growing up, and when a guy thought I
was pretty, he did something out of the “ordinary”. He did something that the generation of today wouldn't think imaginable. Guess what he
would say? He would just say that I
was…PRETTY. That’s it! I wasn't a bitch. I was pretty.
What happened to this society?
What happened to guys treating women with respect by not calling us out
of our names? When did I become a bad bitch? Recently, a young guy called me a bad bitch. I didn't know what to say. I think I said, “Why am I a bitch.” Obviously, I knew that it was his way of
complimenting me, but there’s no need for that type of compliment.
Everyone blames rap music for this type of
behavior. I can’t really say that I don’t
blame rap music. Many rappers use the term
bad bitch
to mean gorgeous women with long hair (usually a weave) and a big behind. Okay, there’s nothing wrong with looking this
way, but why exploit these women?
Why? Not to mention that they’re
being called bad bitch
in these rap songs. It’s truly unimaginable. Where’s the respect?
Of course, men are not the only people to blame
here. There are many women that are
seriously fine with men calling them out of their name. Why is that? If it’s for a rap video, they probably accept
this behavior because they’re getting paid for it. In my opinion, that is so pathetic. So it’s okay to disrespect me if you’re
paying me? In what world is that ever
acceptable? Is your self-esteem that
low? Women need to stand up and
tell these guys that they are not bitches, and then maybe someone will take
notice. Get it together girl, and attain
some self-respect.
“Bad bitch” is a terrible phrase made up by
someone who is ignorant. I don’t care
who the female is; she deserves to be respected. The one thing that I don’t understand is that
if you’re a man with a mother, sister, daughter, wife, girlfriend, or female
friends, how can you subject yourself to such crude behavior? It’s time for an overhaul in manners for the
men and an overhaul in dignity for women.
Let’s be smarter in what we say and do.
There’s no need to sell your soul.
