Ah, language, language language.
As it happens, as a reader of books (as an occasional writer of books), analyst, scholar, former academic, observer of life in its glorious tapestry of idiocy and idealism, and so on, I am fascinated by the use of language in relations of politics, power and identity, cultural 'stuff', and indeed gender.
Now then. Could you please explain to me - because I am genuinely at something of a loss here - why the term 'bitchy', let alone the expression 'super bitchy behaviour' has been used here?
This is because I fail to see why the word 'bitchy' (a negative word when applied to women, and it is not usually applied to anybody else, as I am sure we will all agree) is applied to a woman who has had a rather active sex life. When did the word 'bitchy' (normally used as a neutrally negative noun, rather than one with sexual connotations) get linked to someone who engages in a lot of sexual activity?
And, on that matter, is your issue with the numbers of partners or with the nature of the sexual relationship? Is is a distaste for a rampant expression of female sexuality, or for the fact that these acts were essentially a commercial transaction, whether a coercive or consensual commercial transaction?
Or is it that uncontrolled female sexuality is something which some males find unsettling, arousing that ghastly combination of desire, distaste and disgust?
Well, leaving aside the redundant non-sequiter tagged on at the end- 'true story' - really? - which detracts somewhat from the post, this is is an original defence of the old sexual double standard ('players' versus 'tarts').
Indeed, it is a bit better than the usual mumbled mangling of biological determinism and modern technological jargon that one often finds offered instead. You know, something along the lines of: "men are hard-wired to spread their seed."
However, I am intrigued by the idea of the key and the lock as applied to women. Seriously? Is this how you see women, and female sexuality? As something passive, something which has something done to it? Something entirely lacking agency or free will or utterly incapable of agency or of independent action?
With what do you agree? That women are locks? That chastity belts might actually have a use?
