Daily writing prompt
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

If I had to give up one word, it would be the word “bitch.” Except I do not use this word, because using it perpetuates
a society in which women are harmed. This does not exactly answer the prompt, but I feel it needs to be said.

    What would you call a female dog if the word was eliminated?

    Humans are capable of taking any word and making it associate with something bad.

    Absolutely! Words really do shape our culture, and your choice to be intentional with language is a powerful (and necessary) stand. Thanks for bringing this perspective to the conversation—it’s a reminder that the words we choose can either lift others up or quietly reinforce the things we’re working to change.
