In praise of the B word

In praise of the B word.
If by being a bitch you mean:
I'm a strong independent woman.
I'm a woman who knows her own mind.
I'm a woman who doesn't suffer fools.
I stand up for myself.
I stand up for what I believe.
I stand up with and for my friends.
I love my family and friends.
Most of all I love myself.

If that makes me a bitch in your book that's fine with me.
