Money,
lots of money.
Status.
Prestige.
You know, that feeling when you walk in the club late and EVERYBODY notices your presence? Or when you meet somebody new, you tell them your name and they make that face like the just came out of a daze, “Oh! You’re [insert (in)famous name here]”.
Well the answer is NO.
No, of course not everybody knows this feeling; because if everyone knew this feeling then it wouldn’t be cool to walk in late to the party anymore.
(Unless, of course, you’re going to a party fulla black people where everybody walks late, then it just doesn’t matter).
If you’re not this person, then chances are you might be that person that wants to get close to that person. Now, if you’re a guy, let me rephrase that; if you’re a man, then your pride and/or logic is going to influence your actions when trying to be a part of the “in” crowd or being around the “in” person.
However, if you’re a female; or in many cases, a non-man male, then your desire influences your actions. You are willing to do anything to get noticed, to obtain that type of recognition where people want to be around you. However, a common oversight is that, although, this lapse in behavioral inhibition may temporarily produce the desired result, it often yields an unwanted judgmental conclusion. For many women, this behavioral inhibition is within the sexual realm. It’s common knowledge that, appearance has much to do with one’s status. If most of us are aware of this then how can it be appropriate for a woman to feel wronged if she is judged negatively for barely covering herself in clothing? We also know that status is deemed through one’s actions, so if you act like a ho’, what other recourse could someone have but to call it how they see it?
What about the females that call themselves bitches? Or ho's? Is it still a derogatory term if a woman uses this word to describe herself? If a gay called himself a "faggot" or a black man calls himself a "nigga/er", do this open the portal for the remainder of society to emulate this behavior toward that black man or that gay man? Or should it only be reserved for the user? (Maybe this is an entirely new blog post)
I’ve never been a proponent of using the word “bitch” as a general term of reference for women, however, a bitch is a female dog, correct? Are dogs not emotionally impulsive, only concerned about the present and continuously yapping about nothing? Well, if this is the case, then what other recourse could someone have but to call it how they see it?

I’m just posing a couple of questions and looking for insight. I’m interested to know what you think. How do you define a bitch or a ho’? Also, are the terms bitch and ho’ gender exclusive? What do you think?
