sit bitch or ride bitch. To ride bitch is to sit behind the driver on a motorcycle, where the “biker chick” would normally be presumed to ride. The term applied is to a male rider whose motorcycle has broken down and is forced to ride on another's bike. To sit bitch is to sit in the middle of a bench seat in an automobile or perhaps to sit between the bucket seats in front, over the gear shift. In either case these are the places reserved for women and for a man to take such a seat clearly undermines his masculinity and dominance. The derogation of women and the risks for men in being equated with women is evident in these two compound terms involving bitch. In each case it is to take the less desirable or dominant seat on or in a motor vehicle.
