 ::During the second wave feminist movement feminists started reclaiming the word. As the word already inherited powerful, confident and driven women*, feminists claimed that word and called themselves bitch with pride, because they are all these things and that shouldn't be considered 'wrong', if it is totally accepted in men*. Jo Freeman wrote in 1968 [https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/bitch.htm "The BITCH Manifesto"] in which she defines bitch in a new, feminist way. In it she also illustrates how impossible it is to be a woman* in this society. She writes: "Bitches are not only oppressed as women, they are oppressed for not being like women." She describes bitch as a way of surviving in this society. A bitch cannot be shamed for being (herself), she simply doesn't allow that to happen.
 ::To this day, bitch is not fully reclaimed yet and still broadly used as an insult, as we've seen in the urban dictionary. So what can we now do to further reclaim this word? To say it in Jo Freemans words: "BITCH does not use this word in the negative sense. A woman should be proud to declare she is a Bitch, because Bitch is Beautiful." So speak to your friends about it, correct them and come up with funnier and more original insults. Agree to only use bitch in a positive, empowering way. That may not feel like the most obvious and loudest thing to do, but I think it has a strong impact in your social circle and from there on may spread in other. Additionally Jo Freeman ends her Manifesto with the reminder to call yourself a bitch proudly and set aside your trained independence and connect with, and trust, other bitches.

It works the other way around: First the social attitude needs to change and then the language is following, displaying the changed beliefs.

			::Taking the Idea from Consciousness-raising groups (from 1970s feminism): the personal is political – sharing experiences creates political awareness.
			::Deborah Cameron wrote in her book ''The Feminist Critique of Language'' "...our ways of talking about things reveal attitudes and assumptions we might well consciously disown, thus testifying to the deep-rootedness of sexism."
