I was simply commenting that I liked one of their beers in particular while trying to draw attention to the idea that Flying Dog uses some sort of canine terminology in all their beers and are involved in canine related charities, etc. I don't care for the name because it's controversial enough to offend folks, while I think that Flying Dog was once again acting tongue-in-cheek (I suppose)in their naming process. I can certainly understand why people will find it derogatory towards women, and I'm not being an apologist for them. As a rescuer and all around dog person, I think I'm desensitized to the word "bitch" when used in any way, shape or form around a dog-related item or topic. I hope you don't think me to be misogynistic because of that. I would be up in arms if it were slut, whore, or any other hateful term for females, and honestly I should be with this one as well.

And you're absolutely right. If they made a non-alcoholic beer and called it "Neutered Male" or "Stud No More" it wouldn't sell, even to someone wanting non-alcoholic beer, just because of the name.
