The word Bitch

Depends on what you mean by "meaning." In either case, you're referring to the person as an aggressive woman, so in that sense the word itself means the same thing regardless of to whom you're applying it. The context differs though, as when you call a female that, the woman portion is understood, so the focus lies wholly on the aggressive portion; whereas, when you call a male that, the emphasis is on the woman aspect. The implication is that he is not really a man.

 

A somewhat interesting tangent is the interchangeability with the word "princess." In nearly all contexts when being applied to a male, the message is retained, as his manhood is called into question because princess also implies woman. In the situations where being used to describe a female though, it often will not retain the message, but in certain instances, for example referring to a spoiled teenager, it may.
