I recognize the hypocrite in me.
Allowed myself to use the word "bitch" because I thought I was grown.
I thought it was cute.
It'd make me appear sassy. Spicy. Don't fuck with me.
But "bitch" has stripped me of the very thing I had longed to become;
The very thing that was robbed of me
When I was young and the boys used to tease me.
"Bitch" stripped me of my femininity; my womanliness.
So why was I using this word to perpetuate the same upon the next queen?
Because I was ignorant.
I will not use that word to describe the next human female,
Even if she chooses to dress provocatively
Or behaves out of character with what I associate the word "woman" with.
Calling another female a "bitch", a "whore", or a "slut"
It becomes more than just a word
When the intent behind the word is meant to rob her of her womanliness.
If I say I love humankind, my words will be loving,
Contributing toward uplifting women of all walks of life,
Even to their highest potential.
