  • Reclaiming Critical Analysis: the Social Harms of “Bitch”
    Reclaiming Critical Analysis: The Social Harms of “Bitch” BY SHERRYL KLEINMAN, MATTHEW B. EZZELL, AND A. COREY FROST Abstract The increasing use of “bitch” among women makes it harder to see links between the word and patriarchy. In pop culture and in everyday life, men and women use “bitch” as an epithet against women (and non-conventional men) as well as a means of expressing dominance over a person or object. Women who “reclaim” the term—by declaring themselves “bitches,” calling other women “bitches” in a friendly way, or using the term as a female-based generic—unwittingly reinforce sexism. Unlike the term “feminist,” which is tied to a movement for social change, “bitch” provides women only with false power, challenging neither men nor patriarchy. E USED TO BELIEVE that feminists found the term “bitch” unacceptable. Years ago, when one of us analyzed terms that make women invisible and men the norm—“freshman,” “chairman,” and “you guys”—she wrote, perhaps naively: “I’m not referring [in the case of sexist language] to such words as ‘bitch,’ ‘whore,’ and ‘slut.’ What I focus on instead are words that students Wconsider just fine: male (so-called) generics” (Kleinman 2000: 6). Unlike “you guys,” “bitch” is a slur; and there’s no doubt that the word has a female referent, and a non- human one at that.1 Feminists knew that women could act in mean-spirited ways, but we also knew that using “bitch” to describe them reinforced sexism. If women liked the feel of 1 We will focus on “bitch” in this paper, and make only passing references to “sluts” and “hos.” Some of our analysis could be applied to these terms as well.

It is the people who matter, not the ideology. Authors Michelle Renée Matisons, Ph.D. was an Institute for Anarchist Studies board member when it was first founded.

She now resides in Northwest Florida, where she conducts labor market research stints by doing “odd jobs” — like diaper changing and selling donuts.

  • Lesbian Words: a Santa Cruz Anthology
    Irene Reti and HerBooks Lesbian Feminist Press page 1 This interview was conducted by UCSC student Martha Vickers on March 1, 1991, in the HerBooks office at Irene Reti’s home in Santa Cruz, California. Lesbian Words: A Santa Cruz Anthology Reti: Maybe I should start by giving you some of the history for how I got into this, because then we will have a context for what we are talking about. I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 1982 in environmental studies and women's studies. I had spent a lot of time in school writing term papers. I hadn't written anything purely creative, like poetry, since I was a kid. Once I was out of school, I had the time . and I was also looking for a job in Santa Cruz, which is a lost cause (laughter) when you are just out of school. There I was, working for a solar energy company, trying to sell Arco solar collectors over the phone. I saw an ad in the newspaper that Ellen Bass was giving a writing workshop for women. I thought wow, that sounds really great. I went to that and I started writing poetry. I took a number of different workshops from Maude Meehan and Ellen Bass. During the last session of the workshop, Ellen passed around information about how to get published. She gave us a directory of different publishers and talked about the process of getting published . like before you send out your whole novel, that you should send out a query letter. Things like that.
