bitch. (situation) When
“it's” a bitch, typically “it” refers to a circumstance or situation that is experienced as a hardship. The existential “bitch” of situation is summed up in the saying, “Life is a bitch and then you die.”
Of course, just because situations are not specifically gendered does not mean that the derogation of women is absent. Bitches are difficult women and so when life is a bitch, it is treating one with surliness and petty—perhaps capricious—punishments. No doubt you have every right to bitch about it. |
