I think the word stuff can be very complicated. My sister and friends use the word “bitch” a lot, in jest, among each other. We don’t call other people that or use it in any seriousness. It’s our way of taking back that phrase. I love to use the word “slut” because I want to reclaim that as “sexually empowered woman.” I just watched a webinar by Jody Day about reclaiming the word “spinster.” But I also know that many people are adamantly against reclaiming words or using them at all. And I totally understand both perspectives. I think they’re both valid. Thank you for sharing this!!
