By that logic, the "N-word" isn't "hatred of blacks", so it's not racist.

"Bitch" is a loaded sexist term, much like the "N-word" is a loaded racist term. There's really never a good reason to use it when you can use something else instead. And just because some people do use it doesn't mean you have to sink to their level when there's a thousand other words you could use.



As Louis CK once said, dont say the N-word.

If you want to raise a point based on the word nigger, use it in full. Saying N-word forces the reader to translate, which is jerkish.

In reference to your point, bitch is not a sexist word in modern slang.
