Try searching Amazon.com for "women bitch".   Among the results you will
find are:

"The Bitch in the House: 26 Women Tell the Truth About Sex, Solitude,
Work, Motherhood, and Marriage"

 "The Naked Bitch: An Honest Approach to Dating Women"


Some of the other results indicate that women are NOT above criticism.
I don't recall any particular uproar at the publication of either of
the above titles.

Excellent goals--and you have set a good example by treating others with
some respect.
