(A long version is sometimes heard, example: "It's just [bitches and hos], man, [bitches and hos]".

A common variant is "Bitches is just hos, man.")

This is a modern-day phrase some guys use to comfort a male friend who is pining for a special woman (or who is lamenting being rejected by her, or who was recently dumped by his [girlfriend]).

The guys who use this phrase to comfort their friends could use it sincerely or insincerely.

When used sincerely, the sensitive friend may realize that despite the crass language, the person using this phrase is only trying to make them feel better.

Typically, in this situation, the person using the phrase uses it IRONICALLY, and may in fact have a decent respect for women. The sensitive friend may pick up on this irony/humor.

When used insincerely, the sensitive friend (who may [respect women]) may start an argument with the person who used the phrase, since in this case the person who said it displayed a sexist attitude while saying it.

In the examples, carefully note the two different deliveries of the phrase by DF1 (sensitive) and DF2 (insensitive), and the two correspondingly divergent reactions of SD.

I am sure there are other deliveries (emotional tones) out there for this phrase, and also thus different meanings for it. Please add them.

The exact origin of this phrase is not clear... [I cannot] tell if it was actually originally meant to be sexist or ironic.
