"Bitch is the new black!"
Saturday Night Live returned from its writer's strike and hit a home run with the biggest overnight rating in two years. But the news of the night came when Tina Fey formally endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. She quickly made fun of just about every reason pundits and other women are using not to vote for Hillary.
[UPDATE: They jerked it off YouTube, here is the NBC URL, but you have to wade through an ad first]
If you are in the Clinton camp, this should make you happy. One thing for sure, it couldn't come at a better time.
I remember the McCain incident, when he was asked "How do we beat the bitch?"...how he just laughed and went along. Good ol' Tailhook boy that he is.
I think Tina was trying to reclaim the power of the term "bitch" for women...and defuse the nastiness that so many people intend when they call someone a bitch.
"Yo, Bitches get things done!"
What do you say, we start an All Bitch Party? Goodbye Democrats! The Bitch is Back could be our theme song! Yeah...we could have A Million Bitch March on Washington.........
Seriously, strong women don't necessarily want to be mean...or be seen as "bitches." However, misogyny and gender inequality are so tightly woven into our culture that women HAVE to work harder, speak louder and defend actions that are commonly accepted by men.
I really do wonder why women are called bitches for taking the same action as their male counterparts.
Men are ambitious, which is good. Women are just am-bitches.......
