BITCH!

So, not that i think i have a huge audience for this blog, BUT! this is for my female viewers. And those males who will prolly find it more funny then educational. So at work, I entered the word "bitch" into the google search engine and hit the "feeling luckey" box. And what site comes up but a website for a magazine. "Bitch - Feminist response to Pop Culture". I have to admit I looke further into the site, because well...if you knew me you'd know why. So, here is the link : Bitch.

And below is the reason why they call themselves "Bitch". I couldn't have said it better.


"For as long as we've been publishing Bitch, there's one question that gets asked over and over. And over. "Why did you choose that word as the name of your magazine?" While we're aware that our title is off-putting to some people, we think it's worth it. And here's why.

When it's being used as an insult, "bitch" is most often hurled at women who speak their minds, who have opinions and don't shy away from expressing them. If being an outspoken woman means being a bitch, we'll take that as a compliment, thanks.

Furthermore, if we take it as a compliment, it loses its power to hurt us. And if we can get people thinking about what they're saying when they use the word, that's even better.

And, last but certainly not least, "bitch" describes all at once who we are when we speak up, what it is we're too worked up over to be quiet about, and the act of making ourselves heard."
