A little appreciation for Pamela, please

Bitch on Wheels blog post by Debbie Rasmussen, April 15, 2008 - 11:38pm; tagged authors, celebrities, commercialism, corporations, read this, sexualizing.

Thanks to Jennifer Pozner for defending Pam's choice of reading material.  If we're lucky, Ms. Anderson will propel Unmarketable into the best-seller world the same way Posh Spice did for Skinny Bitch.

Holy Rollers

Is Roller Derby the New Burlesque?
Holy Rollers
Article by Tammy Oler, appeared in issue Fun & Games; published in 2005; filed under Social commentary; tagged competition, riot grrrl, roller derby, sexualizing, sports, violence.

Talk about old school. In skating rinks around the nation, saucy dames are getting together and strapping on old-fashioned quad rol­ler skates to jam, block, and pummel each other. The roller derby revival is on. More than two dozen leagues operate across the country, with an average of 30 to 40 active skaters each (some leagues even boast as many as 60), and many more are in the works.

Editors' Letter: Music

Why Music?

Bitch Male Objectification Rave of the Month: John Travolta

Article by Andi Zeisler, appeared in issue Premiere; published in 1996; filed under Social commentary; tagged disco, grease, John Travolta, objectification, sex objects, sexualizing.

We here at Bitch are in thorough approval of the post-Pulp Fiction Travolta renaissance that has awarded our favorite 1980s cinematic cheese-king some new credibility. Back in our prepubescent days, we wished we could be Olivia Newton-John in Grease, J.T.’s disco-dancing partner in Saturday Night Fever, and Debra Winger in the god-awful Urban Cowboy. Do you have to ask why?

Magazines We Hate

Article by Lisa Jervis, appeared in issue Premiere; published in 1996; filed under Social commentary; tagged Esquire, fantasy, female sexuality, gender roles, magazines, misogyny, Pocahontas, sexualizing, stereotypes.

Esquire’s annual “Women We Love” feature gives with one hand and takes away with the other. 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.
