Today a bill is appearing before the Massachusetts Joint Committee on the Judiciary that proposes to expand the definition of an already existing legislation which defines disorderly conduct. This law, if passed, would add using the word bitch, when used to accost, annoy, degrade or demean another person, to the list of disorderly conduct that would result in criminal punishment.

If passed using the word bitch would result in a fine of $150 for a first offense and $200 or six months in prison for a repeat offense. Victims or witnesses would be allowed to report the crime to law enforcement.

The law is generally not expected to pass muster if passed into law.

There are countless crazy things proposed to be laws, which is why it's only worth examining the things that either are laws or stand a very good chance of passing. A lot of the other proposed laws are just publicity stunts, like that one legislator who wanted to make a law requiring men swear on a Bible to only use viagra when having sex with their spouse.

The thing is this has a real chance of becoming law, which is why its in the news now. Its just that if it passes its almost certain to be shot down in court.

You should just start calling anyone you'd previously call a bitch a c*** instead. Ironically that doesn't seem to be addressed by this law at all.

I think you can still use it for dogs. Its only bad if you use it to accost, annoy, degrade or demean. Though, the problem becomes someone overhearing your conversation and reporting it without knowing the details...

I'd love to see them justify people getting 6 months of jail time for this while, in 2013, you had almost a 1-in-6 chance of getting no jail time for being convicted of rape.

^ Or as a spiritual sequel to "Alice's Restaurant":
He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" and I said, "litterin'." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, with the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean, nasty things, till I said, "And callin' someone a bitch." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench talkin' about crime, mother-stabbin', father-rapin', all kinds Of groovy things that we was talkin' about on the bench, and everything was fine....

if a woman screams f***** at you it's funny and no one will ever punish her for it
but if a guy makes a joke using the word b**** then he gets carted off to jail for it

the f-word is basically you as a man don't make enough money, is a slur or is just saying you're cannon fodder
the b-word is saying the woman is a dog, she complains or that she's actually hard to handle, it isn't even a dis most time it's used
