Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.

    In what way is “little bitches” gendered?

    Wait, are you thinking I’m using the definition of “female dog”?

        Someone who’s weak, submissive, pathetic, and blames all others for their short comings and insecurities.

          “Weak, submissive, pathetic” like the traditional misogynistic view of women? The one that gets applied to men to suggest they are being feminine as an insult?

            In no way did I ever say women are weak, submissive, or pathetic. That kinda seems like you drawing your own lines.

              If you were to call a woman a bitch would it mean the same? Would you be calling her weak and submissive?

                Depends on context. You could be calling her weak and submissive. Or you could be calling her an aggressive drama starter.

                Really just depends on how you use it.
