Page 6 - How to Be a Difficult Bitch: Claim Your Power, Ditch the Haters, and Feel Good Doing It

You can’t be a Difficult Bitch all the time—not without
running yourself ragged. Sometimes you need a break.
Sometimes being a Difficult Bitch is unsafe, or it’s not
considered okay in your culture.
But somewhere, there’s a Difficult Bitch inside of you.
You can choose when to unleash this inner self—but rest
assured, the world needs her, him, or them.
Let’s first address an elephant in the room here. Bitch is
a word that has been used with many different intentions.
Let’s go through them.
Bitch has been used to

A. Put down women.
For example, saying, “That girl is a bitch” in a mean
way, when referring to a strong woman who is
speaking her mind.
B. Insult a man’s masculinity.
For example, saying, “You are such a little bitch!” in a
bullying, derogatory way in order to make a man feel
like “less of a man.”
C. Playfully talk to your friends.
This one is all about tone and the level of friendship.
You might say, “You’re such a bitch!” to a friend, and
if they’re in on the joke, it’s totally fine—everyone
is laughing. But you could say the same thing to a
friend and hurt their feelings. Tread lightly, and make
sure that you’re close with someone before you try
this.
D. #BossBitch, #HeadBitchInCharge, etc.
These terms and hashtags have been used to talk
about people who take control. They’re the ones who
run companies and own their lives.

I think that we’re all over A and B, right? Like, let’s move
on, people. Done. Delete.
