Are You a B*tch? | Keep it 100 | Cut

The question is blunt and the answers reveal more in the hesitation than in the yes or no, Cut studio, Seattle, WA, 2024. Featuring 100 people asked to self-assess on a word that has a gendered history and a complicated present: a mix of women. Self-awareness is the rarest commodity.

Who: 100 people asked to self-assess on a word that has a gendered history and a complicated present: a mix of women who have been called the word by others and have feelings about that, men who are less sure what it means for them, and a handful of people who answer so quickly and definitively that they have clearly thought about it before.

What: The question is blunt and the answers reveal more in the hesitation than in the yes or no. People who say yes tend to mean different things: some are owning directness, some are describing past behavior they regret, some are claiming it as identity. People who say no are sometimes defensive, sometimes genuinely thoughtful. The episode maps how self-knowledge actually works — or doesn't — under the specific social pressure of being asked on camera.

Where: Cut studio, Seattle, WA

When: 2024

Why: Self-awareness is the rarest commodity. This format forces a public moment of it. The people who answer yes are the most interesting — they've done the work.
