the respect they need, and in light of that, they are usually branded names that are insulting and
might lead to the lowering of their self-esteem.
Various animal names are given to the women. According to Alice, some titles include
shrew, Female dog, better known as bitch (Nilsen, 263-264). The names used to address women
