Like Bruce Wayne, she’s a rich socialite by day and a black-clad vigilante at night. And, also like Bruce Wayne, in both incarnations she’s apt to sweep the ladies off their feet. Kate Kane, the new, revamped Batwoman, isn’t the first lesbian character to debut in the DC Comics universe, but she might have the highest profile. Last June, DC Executive Director Dan DiDio issued a press release saying the move was intended “to get a better cross-section of our readership and the world.” </p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/article/comics-cold-shoulder">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/article/comics-cold-shoulder#comments activism Books comics heroes heroins misogyny On Comics superheroines violence Thu, 01 Mar 2007 02:00:00 -0500 Kyla 132 at http://bitchmagazine.org http://bitchmagazine.org/article/love-guns <p><span class="small-caps">cock rock</span>: To some, the term conjures up images of rock gods in white jumpsuits, long hair haloed by a rainbow of lights, fans waving their Bics in unison as an immaculate guitar solo screams out from a tower of amps. To others, it evokes backstage legends of drugs and debauchery, the triumph of malecentric hedonism over social conscience, the unapologetic celebration of sleaze. To still others, it’s shorthand for memorable riffs with a backbeat that makes you want to throw some devil horns and bang your head.</p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/article/love-guns">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/article/love-guns#comments beauty standards Feature groupies hair bands heavy metal masculinity misogyny Music rock Rolling Stone women in rock Tue, 01 Mar 2005 00:00:00 -0500 Kyla 257 at http://bitchmagazine.org http://bitchmagazine.org/article/suburban-blight <p>A film studies professor once told me that everything you need to know about a movie is revealed in the first five minutes. This is particularly true of <em>The Stepford Wives</em>.

It seemed like a good idea—Mom was the one who was always in the kitchen, and this was the day to celebrate her. But the minute she opened her present, even I knew we had the wrong idea.</p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/article/queens-iron-age">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/article/queens-iron-age#comments consumer culture crafting domesticity Feature gender roles housewives misogyny post feminism second wave Social commentary third wave Sat, 30 Nov 2002 19:00:00 -0500 Kyla 182 at http://bitchmagazine.org http://bitchmagazine.org/article/sassy-responds <p>...<br /> but to other perceptive and right-on readers who are as upset as we are about the changes.

Hidden behind the premise of honoring them, the article puts women firmly in their place by using the traditional patriarchal tool of male approval—rewarding certain traits in the female while disparaging others.</p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/article/magazines-we-hate">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/article/magazines-we-hate#comments Esquire fantasy Feature female sexuality gender roles magazines misogyny Pocahontas sexualizing Social commentary stereotypes Mon, 01 Jan 1996 00:00:00 -0500 Kyla 88 at http://bitchmagazine.org http://bitchmagazine.org/article/bait-and-switch-sassy <p>Back in March a horrible thing happened. After a few months of checking the newsstands for my beloved <em>Sassy</em>, wondering what the hell was up and why I couldn’t find it anywhere, suddenly there it was—mutilated almost beyond recognition. Peterson Publishing (they also own <em>Guns &amp; Ammo</em>) bought <em>Sassy</em>, replaced the entire staff, and gutted the editorial philosophy—and the new staff is trying to pretend that it’s the same magazine it always was.</p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/article/bait-and-switch-sassy">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/article/bait-and-switch-sassy#comments Feature gender roles magazines media misogyny sassy sexuality Social commentary stereotypes teens Mon, 01 Jan 1996 00:00:00 -0500 Kyla 92 at http://bitchmagazine.org
