Default Re: Male Equiv of \"B\" Word?

There are two reasons. First, the verb bitch is synonymous with complain which isn't offensive at all obviously.

Second even if it were it's temporary. Permanence is worse obviously. It would be far worse to say 'you are a bitch' than to say 'you are acting like a bitch' for example because in the second case she won't necesarily be a bitch tomorrow.
