So I can’t post them here.

They are used to describe a woman when someone thinks she is being disagreeable. So, you can maybe guess.

I hate them because at times they have been used to describe me and probably every woman everywhere at some point in their lives when they took a stance on something, or they wanted things to go a certain way and were upset when they weren’t

You know the kind of things a man would be praised for and be called a hard worker because he stood by what he wanted and didn’t back down, but a woman would be called one of these two words.

I think what needs to happen is we need to praise women for standing by what they believe in and not backing down. It has been better, I think, lately but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.
