In essence those words are used pejoratively in comparable situations.
The word “bitch” however literally means “female dog” and is, in fact, used in a non-derogatory way in dog breeding circles.
Context is everything, but calling a female coworker a “bitch” is not acceptable in a professional environment.
- Udik 8y agoAnd what about calling a male colleague a "dick"? And of course I agree that it's unprofessional and generally not acceptable; however I disagree that it should be in itself enough to fire somebody. Of course a repeated behaviour of this kind is not acceptable and can be grounds for dismissal.
