Spinster This!!
I never understood why spinster was such a reviled word. I know how spinsters were always portrayed by Hollywood, but personally, I found their lives so much more fulfilling than the lives of their married sisters, who were supposedly happier because they got to live out their lives as Mrs. John Smith.
So, although I can't technically call myself a spinster, I've decided to reclaim the word, anyway. In fact, I think all words deemed derogatory by society should be reclaimed by the people they were meant to demean.
You grrl, spinster!
