Men throw the word "bitch" around when women are being awful, but more often than not they use it when women are simply being assertive and know themselves and what they want to do. You were being assertive in this case, and it sounds like Trent couldn't handle it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149426274951453722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207942574295297695.post-89217474097429177892010-12-02T13:00:20.742-08:002010-12-02T13:00:20.742-08:00wow, I thought name calling stopped when we were i...wow, I thought name calling stopped when we were in HS? Although you regret stooping to his level, sometimes, (this maybe the ny girl in me talking) people deserve to get insulted right back, actually, it's even healthy to let it out. Did any of your other friends say anything?

I get this a fair bit. ...I feel you on this one. <br /><br />I get this a fair bit. Where I am from (small country town in Australia) it's a regular thing to talk smack about 'fat chicks'. People consider it okay to be my friend and yet talk about other 'fat chicks' and 'fat bitches' in front of me. And of course whenever I call them out on it I always get the 'But we don't think of you like that' and 'but you're not fat!' (at size 14/16 I ain't a ballerina either). <br /><br />Good on you for calling him out. I am usually so embarrassed by it to say anything about it and pretend it doesn't worry me (although it obviously does). <br /><br />Smokey <br />http://smokeylovespotatoes.blogspot.com/Smokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044918922169182378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207942574295297695.post-47459374193651549232010-11-29T17:11:06.950-08:002010-11-29T17:11:06.950-08:00Thank you to everyone for your comments, love &...Thank you to everyone for your comments, love & support :)<br /><br />A few years ago, this comment would have really hurt me and ruined my week...I probably wouldn't have gone out for a month.

It's important to remember what he was really after: controlling you, getting you into petty drama b/c he can't get attention through his own merit. It is hard to just walk away, but that is exactly what to do with people who try to subtly control you. Work to be in a place where neither praise nor insult affects your self-perception and self-love (and decisions). It's really the only form of "revenge" against idiots.melina beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079734489990081556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207942574295297695.post-47453110884693341792010-11-29T12:42:39.678-08:002010-11-29T12:42:39.678-08:00Natasha.

I do not think you stooped to his level by calling him out in the moment he insulted you. I think by being silent, he thinks he has won. But... but calling him out on his bullshit, showing him how insecure it makes him look, how immature and how much like a bully it makes him... he should see the error in his way and see how much it hurts you. Maybe he won't do it again. Or at least think twice about it next time. You did good. <br /><br />You are strong, empowered, and beautiful. Always remember that. :)Betsy Eves @JavaCupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606882476646550937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207942574295297695.post-42984976358189675082010-11-29T09:26:34.590-08:002010-11-29T09:26:34.590-08:00Atta girl!

I'm glad you're feeling better about this- it hurt me to see you so upset. You are a beauitful, kind, intelligent, senstive, voluptuous, and confident woman and many people are threatened by that. He hurled the two insults he knew that would hurt any woman. I pitty him. His perception of beauty and respect is distorted and delusional. You are better for it-and he's left with the same thing he had going for him before- nothing. I'm proud of you for posting this. It is nothing short of empowering. It disgusts me that there are people in this world that could be so uneccessarily cruel- they have no concept of the damage words can cause. I'm glad he didn't get the best of you. And you know If I had been there, things would not have gone down the way they did- silence is not an excuse for diffusion or fear- it's a cop out plain and simple.Lindsey.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068906380360516812noreply@blogger.com
