Anita Hill was portrayed as a lying floozy, powerless over her deep need to exact revenge on the man she couldn't have. Excuse me, but this is a woman in control. A black woman who has become a law professor is not powerless over any part of her psyche. This is not a woman scorned. This is a woman pissed.

"Slut" used to mean a slovenly woman. Now it means a woman who will go to bed with anyone. This is considered a bad thing in a woman, although perfectly fabulous in a man.

"Bitch" means a woman who will go to bed with everyone except you.
