Massachusetts lawmakers considered a state bill on Tuesday that would punish people for calling others a “bitch.”
State Rep. Daniel Hunt, a Democrat representing the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, introduced the bill in May on behalf of a constituent, something only the Bay State allows. The full text of the bill reads as follows:
A person who uses the word “bitch” directed at another person to accost, annoy, degrade or demean the other person shall be considered to be a disorderly person in violation of this section, and shall be subject to the penalties provided in subsections (a) and (b). A violation of this subsection may be reported by the person to whom the offensive language was directed at or by any witness to such incident.
The subsections mentioned in the bill include possible punishments for the offense. Should the bill become a law, anyone in Massachusetts who calls someone else a “bitch” in anger could be subject to a fine of up to $200 or up to six months in jail.

I think the word is offensive, just as honky, cracker, RACIST, and other derogatory words are. But we do have a FIRST Amendment which DOES NOT say the government can define free speech.
Dat sheet am rasict!
Who decides what is offensive? There are many words that I prefer not to hear or use, even some that are only partially spelled out on Facebook. Some words could be $200 words, others could be $500 words, and a few could be $1000 offenses. The vocal inflections could also be a factor.
I take it Lizzy mad bear Warren is getting tired of hearing the truth
If the “F” word is to be considered a major use cures word, which it is, they
they had better build larger jails as these days you here is far to frequently!
I am sick and tired of democrats telling us what we can and can’t do. We need to get rid of as many democrats next election as we can
Yup x People have to wake up and see who or which are the Main Problems here in America x Sure Politicians have different Agendas n Beliefs but the truth and facts cannot be debated – Its Either Black or white, Yes or No and Right vs Wrong and ” The Needs of the Many far outweigh the needs of the One or the Few “
I always think that the last stupid idea from leftists is as low as they can go. But they can always go lower. And, you know what? We lazy SOBs don’t do anything about it.
Freedom of speech, but encourage people to take the higher ground.
With all the leftist attacks on free speech, it is a miracle one can speak at all. America is losing the rights and liberties our many forefathers have fought and dies for. A vote for a Democrat in 2020 is a vote to end American liberty.
How will they know that I’m not just referring to a female dog?
The Bay State wants to outlaw an English word that rhymes with witch!
Then how do we identify Democrats like crooked Hillary Clinton, lying “Pocahontas” Dizzy Lizzy Warren and senile House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as all have outgrown the term witch!
