Yup, simply being obnoxious and rude doesn't equal dominant. Uncouth behavior also doesn't strike me as very dominant, either--a touch of vulgarity here and there is nice, but in my view it works best as an accent, not a base. However, there are some qualities that self-described dominants have in common with other-described bitches--"bitch" tends to be a word applied derisively to confident, exacting, hard-working, authoritative women, and those are qualities possessed by many dominant women. Too, some women like to "reclaim" words like "bitch" and "cunt" (rather like the GLBT community reclaiming "queer"). And, yes, some women who identify as dominant lack certain social skills, and that's unfortunate. Alas, that's true of just about any category--kinky or otherwise.
