What does it feel like to be a bitch?
A bitch, according to Collins Dictionary, is a "woman regarded as malicious, bad-tempered, or aggressive." The term "inconsiderate and insensitive" is defined by Urban Dictionary. Isn't that awful?
However, I prefer Jo Freeman's take on being a bitch. A bitch, according to her The BITCH Manifesto, is someone who is domineering, strong-willed, and never takes sh*t from anyone.
Bitches, in my opinion, are those who prioritize themselves. From minor to life-altering decisions, they prioritize themselves over others. Bad girls do not seek the approval and affirmation of others. They are only concerned with themselves. I'm not sure about you, but that sounds like a good way to live.
There's nothing to be ashamed of if people call you a bitch or if you consider yourself an unapologetic badass. Accept it and own it.
So here's a collection of bad bitch quotes. They may be amusing, savage, and a little too much. They do, however, reveal the truth about how to live a carefree life. Isn't it time to shake it off?

How do you handle negative feedback from others?
Take inspiration from the bad bitches mentioned above and resist allowing the negative thoughts of others to enter your mind. I've realized that individuals are outwardly degrading because they are insecure and jealous. They see you living in your truth, and they are afraid to live in theirs.
Continue pursuing your dreams and achieve your goals. Those who are critical will soon become supporters on the sidelines.
