Is the Word "Bitch" Ever Empowering?

I don’t find the word bitch particularly empowering, but I refuse to allow it to be disempowering.

Interview on Bill Cosby Guilty Verdict

On April 26, 2018, I was a guest on The Daily Drum, a nightly radio show hosted by Harold Fisher. The Daily Drum is simulcast on WHUR-FM (96.3 Washington, DC) and SiriuxXM 141 (HUR Voices) at 7p.m. eastern time. My fellow guest was civil rights attorney, Donald Temple. We discussed the guilty verdict in Bill Cosby's retrial. The discussion was, at times,… lively. I was the only woman in the mix. Even the callers all were men.
