Bitch Magazine, although not so much DIY, is still a kick ass magazine. Bitch is a critical response of our paganistic, media-driven world from a feminist perspective. Bitch wants to supply its readers with a fresh and revitalizing voice for feminism, one based on witticism and complex arguments for the pop culture world that surrounds us. It examines TV, film, books, magazines, fashion, and web news so as to peer into their inner and underlying motives, reveal them, and incite the arguments that ask the big questions. What's important to us? What do we want to know? And where do we find them? A good place to start is right there at Bitch.
Bust – a magazine with an attitude. Bust is a magazine with a great sense of humor and proud to be a descendant of the x chromosome, whether or not it's feminist depends on your definition of feminism. But Bust provides the uncensored view of women's lives and the female experience, busting stereotypes or biased views with a fresh perspective on pop culture.
