Bitch

My favourite magazine shock horror isnt a fashion magazine - its this BITCH and cos they would sum up the magazine way better than me here is there mission:

"Bitch seeks to be a fresh, revitalizing voice for feminism, one that welcomes complex arguments, showcases witty and whip-smart critiques of popular culture, and refuses to ignore the contradictory and sometimes uncomfortable details that constitute the realities of life in an unequivocally gendered world.

Bitch is about formulating replies to the sexist and narrow-minded media diet that we all - intentionally or not - consume. It's about critically examining the images of femininity, feminism, class, race, and sexuality that are thrown at us by the media. And by media, we mean TV, movies, books, magazines, the music world, advertising, fashion, the web-and we also mean the messages that are sent through the news media, in schools, and on the streets.

Bitch is about forging connections between the sociocultural messages we get and the commercial agendas of who's behind them. It's about creating a dialogue - making people aware that the dissenting views they hold are, in fact, shared by many. It's about asking ourselves and each other questions: Where are the female-friendly places in the mass media? Where are the things we can see and read and listen to that don't insult our intelligence? How can we get more of them?

Bitch is about saying, We can make them."
