Advertise
One may ask, how can we be noncommercial, yet still form and build relationships with advertisers?
Well, in keeping with our noncommercial publishing philosophy, our goal is to work with smaller, independent advertisers whose products and services are aligned with our mission of formulating replies to the sexist and narrow-minded media we consume while critically examining the images of things like femininity, feminism, class, race, and sexuality.
For this reason, we keep our ad rates reasonable in order to work with advertisers that support our work.
