I have noticed that often times, women that act out and tell people off while claiming "I'm just being honest" (when no one asked for their opinion), act in a vulgar manner and draw attention to themselves via their aggression are considered "strong women". When a man acts like that, he is considered an asshole! But more often than not, I hear women being called "bitch" as it is synonymous with being a "strong woman". And often they are proud of being called a bitch, because to them it means that they are a strong woman!
Maybe this conflicts with my ideal of what a strong woman is, which is not a woman that curses people out, tells people nasty things and acts in aggression when there is no need to. But I just don't see how being a "strong woman" came to mean being a huge bitch!
Is it normal that I don't like it that being a bitch and being a strong woman are associated with each other?

Those aren't strong women. Those are cunts.
They're just trying to pretend that "strength" is the same thing as attacking people for their own pleasure.
REAL women with strength are the ones who hold up under pressure.
Women who can't function without being cruel - they are weak. If they were truly strong then they wouldn't need to lash out in order to feel adequate.
I wholeheartedly agree with what you are saying.
BITCHES ARE MALES AND FEMALES THAT ARE MEAN/EVIL/SPITEFUL PEOPLE.
Feminism does this all the time. As soon as they are called something for doing something wrong, they automaticly try to change the whole meaning and reason for being called something negative in to something positive because they can't handle facing the problems the female gender has.
It's the same with the "If a man hits you, you can hit back" thing. If a man hits a woman, and she hits him back, people cheer, they call her a strong woman. If a woman hits a man, and he hits her back, he is an asshole, pathetic, etc. It beats me how women are strong women when they can hit something, most of the times the thing that doesn'tr retaliate (male), but as soon as they are hit back, they are to be treated like little princesses.
I am a feminist, I have studied gender politics. Every description you've written of feminism does not apply to me, and I can tell you that your descriptions are incorrect or anecdotal. If you want to describe a particular feminist that you've met who's hypocritical, that's fine, but that doesn't mean the entire movement is a failure.
Strong people don't have to go around proving it and shouting it from rooftops . Some of the toughest women in business running some of the biggest companies in the world , are actually quite feminine and humble in there way, not parading around with the " I am a strong women" stuck across their forehead.They know they're smart and they know how to use what they have .
Why do those stupid bitches have to go round proving it and making it a statement - who gives a toss . Those type remind me of the guys that feel they have to prove they're tough , or smart , or a big man . It's the same thing.
They are not at all emotionally strong or mature if they need this kind of justification to satisfy themselves.
like my friend: I say "you're such a bitch but I love you" she says "love you too"
Unfortunately, bitches mistake themselves as strong, independent women. That sort of thinking is merely their flimsy justification for insulting people.
A truly strong person, not just a strong woman, doesn't need to proclaim to the whole world that they are STRONG and no one should fuck with them. Strong does not necessarily equal aggression; more of emotionally strong in this context.
When someone says "strong woman" I think hmm trying to hide that you're a "dyke" or "slut" or "crazy feminist weakling" but never "bitch"
Meow meow only the weak feel the need to be called strong because it's something they want not something they have, thats why even my mom hates feminists lol.
