  Female Ambition Is Not A Curse

  Very valid points in your post... and indeed a sad commentary that articles like this still appear in national media in 2009. As for the bitch moniker, I've come to consider it a badge of honor - because it's often coming as a retort from someone feeling threatened by feminine self-assurance. In those moments, I remind myself of the acronym I learned from a friend: a B. I. T. C. H. is: a Babe In Total Control of Herself.

  
  

  The humor diffuses the notion that as a female I should feel compelled to apologize for wanting to be more, not less. And as I've shared the meaning of B. I. T. C. H. with women friends who've been on the receiving end of those sentiments - it never fails to bring a smile - and a nod. Yes, we get it... Now can we just all get over it?
