"bitch" is an insult in english and a couple other languages

They're normally very aggressive and cruel compared to male dogs.
>>722323643
And dogs are lowly creatures. You know. Animals.

Because women are full of shit
Men get called dogs and nobody says shit about it
Women get called bitches (female dogs) and it's a shitshow of sexism and male supremacy
It's how the world works, get used to it

thanks /pol/
that's not at all what this thread is about, but we all appreciate your strong opinions on stuff
strong opinions are important - keep having them and sharing them
Because back in the day it was used by people to claim women were like animals and didnt have souls. at least thats what a crazy feminist told me

OP here.
But that's still missing the point. Why a female dog specifially? Why not a female cat, or pig, or whatever?
What is it about female dogs?
Actually the first reply was the most useful so far (assuming there is some truth to that)

Everyone knows that once upon a time, a bitch was simply a lady dog. Trace its lineage in the Oxford English Dictionary, however, and you'll find that it's been used as a derogatory term for women as early as the 15th century. Back then, it was considered demoralizing mostly because it suggested that the woman in question was promiscuous (an allusion to the fact that female dogs have so many puppies), according to English language historian Geoffrey Hughes. This is, of course, why "son of a bitch" had such a sting: It meant your mother was a whore. That said, "bitch" was far from the most popular insult in Ye Olde English. Dudes like Chaucer preferred the use of words like "whore" or "sluttish."

"Bitch" didn't really catch on as the universal female insult until the 1920s, when all of a sudden its use ballooned. Between 1915 and 1930, the use of "bitch" in newspapers and literature more than doubled. What happened? Women's suffrage.
That's right. That Susan B. Anthony bitch got the right to vote, and men were not happy about it. Soon after, "bitch" became an all-purpose insult for annoying women. Ernest Hemingway seemed to fall in love with the word, calling many of his female characters "bitch goddesses" and, after a falling-out with Gertrude Stein, gifting her a signed copy of Death in the Afternoon with the inscription "a bitch is a bitch is a bitch." He had a way with words, that Hemingway.
