Specifically, a Boston Democrat has proposed a state law in order to penalize those who use the “b-word” (bitch) in a derogatory way against another person. If you’re interesting in understanding just how someone will be penalized, it appears that there are two sentences which if added would add fines and other penalties for various other offenses. “A person who uses the word ‘bitch’ directed at another person to accost, annoy, degrade…
