[Smokin' Joe]

a calm, logical, assertive woman who stands on her own two feet, respects herself, and doesn't go crawling and begging after men

With manners and bearing, we used to refer to that as being a "Lady".

My mother is a Lady, and if you called her a "bitch" she'd knock you on your arse.

Get a clue, willya? Quit calling yourselves "bitches"--AKA female dogs, if you want respect.

I beg your pardon. I do not refer to myself as a “bitch,” and I don’t expect you to do so either.

This title is a marketing device, okay? I didn’t think it up, so don’t blame me. It does refer to the mysterious fact that all nice girls have noticed: a lot, a great lot, of men seem to be attracted to women who treat them badly and are not attracted to the nice girls. We are always wondering why men do fall in love with and marry women who can best be described as bitches, or worse. The idea of the book is that the nice girl can take a leaf from the book of the nasty woman who has men worshipping her; the nice girl can learn how to stand up for herself and get the respect of men without being cruel, hateful, or bitchy. It’s not a bad idea.

I despise the word so much that I will not use the word in reference to my female beagles. Anyone who dare use the word to one of my female relatives had better know how to fight because they won't have long to learn.

Wow. Our culture is devolving, isn't it?
