Bitchcraft


The dictionary definition of bitch is female dog. In patriarchal slang it means a woman who is unreasonable, belligerent, bossy or aggressive. In a feminist context, it means a strong and assertive woman. To a misogynist, a strong assertive woman is unreasonable, belligerent, bossy or aggressive, in other words, a Bitch with no sweet, demure and agreeable qualities. Whenever you are objectified, ignored, devalued, or disrespected and you respond with anger, resistance or pushback, you are most likely seen as a Bitch even if no one says the word out loud.

​We’ll explore the word bitch, how it is applied to women, how women apply the word to themselves, how it is now being used by men to apply to men. We will learn how we can use its power to navigate a world loaded with minefields of ‘isms’ (sexism, racism, ageism, liberalism, conservatism, nativism, populism etc.).  Bitchcraft will be introduced as a skill set, a craft - meaning an art that requires special skills, in other words, Bitchcraft.
