holligenet replied to your post: cumberbitches are you fucking serious …
Lots of fans really like the term and I did for awhile! Up until I was watching one of BCs interviews and it became apparent (to me at least) that he really wasn’t comfortable with it and thought it set feminism back. I thought about it and agreedYeah
I think I’ve heard that [insert name]-bitches term on some other celeb before
didn’t like it then
dont like it now
i’m all for repossessing language (eg. ‘Bitch’=B.i.t.c.h.=babe in total control of her/himself) but ‘cumberbitch’ always makes me feel awkward because it’s not repossessing when you attach it after a mans name, which would seem indicative of defining yourself by another person, and in this case further, women defining themselves by a man…yeah, definitely a step back.
