wench/bitch and your experiment. :) words do get reclaimed. in the early 80's in SF, we worked quite hard to reclaim 'dyke' as a word of power rather than as an insult. to embrace the word, was to take away it's insult. however... what does dyke mean? butchy woman? gay woman?

wench is a very very very low word. bitch can have power. a woman who cuts with words and takes her space. a whore can spit in your face. tho seriously, there is no good in that word. but wench is even lower. a wench is a sex slave. period. do not ever ever ever use that word. period.
