Take all the issue you choose but here is the DEFINITION of the word.
Bastard...Illegitimacy, the circumstance of being born of parents who are not married to one another.
I didn't invent the word, I only used it correctly. If you have umbrage, take it up with Webster.
I KNOW what the technical definition of the word is but lets get real-You don't stigmatize a child with the "bastard"brush because of something his parents did-or DIDN'T do.
