But the insult came from the name. I mean women are called bitches as a degrading insult because female dogs are called bitches. Men are called bitches because the speaker considers being female to be an insult. (Or just participates in the sexist language, YMMV)
If you create another name for a female dog, what're the odds that it wouldn't become an insult too?
