How do you respond when someone calls you a bitch? I hate being called a bitch, mare, cow etc. There's something about it that really offends me. Maybe because they are insulting female names. What's a good comeback? One of my favourite fictional character agrees with the name caller and corrects him (it's usually a him) to say "that's lieutenant bitch to you" and I love her for it but as I hate the word I don't want to encourage it. To make matters worse it's my own daughter who calls me these names. The one who I raised a feminist who decided her abusive dad was the better parent.
