It seems four kinds of bitches parade YA lit and the world. What are the good kinds? What are the bad kinds? Why do cat people not like cute little girl puppies?
The First Bitch
These are easily my favorite bitches. Just look at how cute those little girl doggies are!
Good bitch or bad bitch?: Good.
The Second Bitch
I like reading Bitch, it's true. It's a feminist magazine that observes pop culture for the (mostly) sexist trash it is. It also has had pictures of girl dogs from time to time.
Good bitch or bad bitch?: Good.
The Third Bitch
These are the feminist bitches. They know women are equal to men and they can be tough, ambitious, know what they want, and say their opinion, so patriarchy goes "You bitchez (misspelled on purpose)!" I am one of these bitches.
Good Bitch or Bad Bitch?: Good.
The Fourth Bitch
The fourth bitch is the only bad bitch I will be posting on. To me a bitch is mean, rude, intolerant, or a bully. These bitches are both male and female to me (for me "bitch" is not a gendered term). It is a common phrase in my dictionary. I don't like this kind of bitch, I don't know who does. They are not girl dogs, a magazine, or feminists, they are bullies. They often are very self righteous about themselves. For example, in the fucking awful House of Night series, Zoey, the main character, constantly slut shames Aphrodite, and yet in the series gets four boyfriends. Aphrodite may wear short clothes and may holy fuck! like sex, but when Zoey gets four boyfriends is she a slut? No. Zoey is easily a bitch, not a feminist. I know male bitches, also. They may be boys who bullied me before, like if I liked something or not. There is no gender for a bitch for me, if they are a bitch, they're a bitch. Oh yeah, I don't like slut-shaming, I think it is wrong, but Zoey also fit into the (imaginary) "slut box". But we're supposed to like her so of course she isn't a slut. Gag.
Good Bitch or Bad Bitch? Obviously Bad.
Teen lit needs more of the first three bitches rather than only the last one (characters in YA lit rarely seem to have pets for some reason), heck the whole world needs more of the first three bitches.
