Things I've Learned Today from MTV:
1) After watching a mini-marathon of True Life on MTV (I know, I know) I've come to a conclusion.
The word "bitch" really is just a hateful way that men try and make women cower and do what they want them to do.
...
I never thought I'd admit that out loud. It's the kind of thing that some angry little feminist in a woman studies class would say, face all red and scrunched up, or the statement of a high school girl who really is acting cruelly and wants to excuse her actions.
But I take back my insults, fellow women. Because the term "bitch" really does seem to be the kind of word that I'm either going to have to a) reclaim or b) retire, because it's entirely too hateful to keep in circulation.
Para example-- True Life: I'm in a Love Triangle.
Man is dating one woman, cheats on her, she breaks up with him. He gets with another woman, and then keeps trying to win the ex back while both of them are aware of his skanky ass ways. He goes out to ice cream with the ex, she says "choose which one of us you want" and he says "You're acting like such a bitch!"
Second case-- guy breaks up with his gf, impregnates the rebound. Now wants to have a threesome relationship with the ex and the rebound. The ex says "Why did you do this? Why not use a condom! I got an abortion for you!" and his response "You're such a bitch right now."
...
Nope. Veto. I've decided-- taking the word back. Right here. If a man uses the term "bitch" around me, I'm walking away. New rule. The same way if I heard him say "Kike", I would walk away, same deal. The end.
Congrads, MTV. You've pushed me to make the term "bitch" as uncomfortable for assholes in bars as the N word, calling someone a Jew, and faggot.
2) Real World: Brooklyn. "The real city is across the bridge."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Suck it every person I know who lives in Williamsburg and wears skinny jeans! Me and my Washington Heights homies are laughing our asses off at you. MTV thinks you're cool now! Your time has ended!
