I mostly agree with your post, but I would add that I think usage of the word "bitch" may sometimes be a little more nuanced than this, and has been evolving over time, including becoming less gender specific. Men are now often called "bitch" as well, and it is often used without any gendered connotations or intent to feminize, almost like the word "asshole". Like a guy saying to another guy "You bitch!" when the other guy kills him in a video game. I highly recommend reading a surprisingly scholarly book called "Holy Sh*t: A Brief History of Swearing" that talks about this kind of fluidity of obscene language over time, including how the word "faggot" was first used as a slur against women before it evolved into a slur against gay men. Podcast with the author here (WARNING! EXTREMELY EXPLICIT LANGUAGE):

It also seems to be less of a taboo to use when someone complains ("bitches") a lot, or behaves in a legitimately "bitchy" way.
its definitely meant to be degrading towards women primarily - which is why men are now using it towards each other to make a statement about how 'weak' (feminine) they're acting.

That's what it eventually boils down to. People who feel offended because they can't use the word.
um no

Black people can use the n word.
Gay people use the f word.
T girls and T guys use the slurs against them.
Women use the b word.
really tho? like that helps anything?

I've only heard of Azealia calling white men and Pharrell (which isn't much of a difference) faggots, so I remain pretty unbothered.com
ah well, that's okay then

She has the potential to be a great song writer (see Elvis) but repeats herself with words that seemingly don't mean anything apart from sounding pretty.
It may mean something to her undoubtedly but if I hear another song with 'boy blue' or 'red dress' or 'pale moonlight' in one more time..
It's just a bit lazy imo.
