Bitch Magazine – November 2018

Prioritizing pleasure has always seemed optional for those who are fighting to survive. Is it even possible to seek, find, and harbor pleasure in what we eat, with whom we choose to partner, and how we take care of ourselves? While it’s difficult, it’s also possible, and this issue illuminates a pathway for those who want to balance their quest to dismantle oppressive systems with their need for joy and ecstasy and pleasure.

Bitch seeks to be a fresh, revitalizing voice in contemporary feminism, one that welcomes complex arguments and refuses to ignore the contradictory and often uncomfortable realities of life in an unequivocally gendered world. We have a diverse audience, which keeps the dialogue and the movement we’re a part of dynamic and strong. We are also uniquely situated to draw in young readers who are at a critical moment in their lives—a moment when they are discovering feminism and activism, finding answers to who they are, and questioning the definitions of gender, sexuality, power and agency prescribed by the mainstream media. Bitch not only plays a role in exploring these topics, it also provides a toolkit for engaging in analysis that promotes activism and impels social change. Bitch Media has a broad reach, with a community that has grown to over 6 million readers around the globe.
