 Bitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In colloquial use, the word bitch is often employed insultingly to describe a woman as malicious, spiteful, domineering, intrusive, unpleasant or sexually promiscuous; it may also be used to refer to a male subordinate to another male (especially in prison to show domination over another).
In the original sense, a "bitch slap" is a powerful, full-swing slap in the face with the front of the hand, evoking the way an angry pimp might slap a defiant prostitute (not to be confused with a "pimp slap" which uses the back of the hand).
The adjectives bitchy and bitchin' and the verb to bitch evolved from the noun bitch.

 Janice Eidus: Interviews/Excerpts
One woman's take on city living, therapy, homelessness, infidelity, and the perils of marrying a man with the same name as your favorite Beatle, URBAN BLISS is a swift-moving comedy of manners with a forked tongue and a stinging backbeat.
BITCH recently had the pleasure of chaffing with Janice about writing, rock 'n' roll, and why women are really, once and for all, not from Venus.
But [fashion magazines] aren't fun to deconstruct in the same way that TV is for me. At one point I started writing a story in the voice of a supermodel and it just wasn't fun or funny.

 The Seattle Times: Living: It's a female dog, and the name of the fearless feminist magazine
Bitch magazine publisher Debbie Rasmussen, left, and development director Ray Rubin work at the magazine's headquarters in Oakland, Calif. Started as a feminist response to pop culture, the publication is in its 10th year.
By Bitch's second year, the word was everywhere: Meredith Brooks' song "Bitch" was on heavy rotation, soon after Elizabeth Wurtzel's book by the same name was a best-seller, and the word was an official part of prime-time television's lexicon.
A magazine like Teen Vogue, Zeisler says, is instilling a label-consciousness that is very different from the one she experienced as a 13-year-old.

 ****WELCOME TO MADCAT INTERNATIONAL WOMENS FILM FESTIVAL****
Bitch lured Ben-Dov to our offices to talk about the genesis of the festival, just what "experimental" means, anyway, and what sheís got planned for our moviegoing future.
Ariella Ben-Dov: Well, the idea came about when I went to a bunch of festivals óI went to a lot of experimental and shorts programs, and was very disappointed in what I saw.
I put listings in film trade magazines around the country and it was amazing how many people applied to a festival that nobody knew.

 Captiva Records
Growing up in Abingdon, Va., he was influenced by the gospel music he heard in church (both his grandfather and uncle are preachers), the country music of the Carter Family Fold in Mendota, only 20 miles from his hometown, and the classic rock his dad listened to.
But that was a long time ago, and listening to Southern Bitch’s current album, Snake In the Grass, it’s obvious the band has evolved considerably.
When the album made its local debut in late 2004, its weighty political themes—war, leadership, patriotism—were especially timely, but Musick says he wrote the album to be more than a period piece.

 Best Friends Animal Society - Best Friends Magazine - Caterwauling Over Doggerel
By the 15th century, it was being used as a jocular insult for both men and women.
Some feminists have attempted to reclaim the term; the radical magazine Bitch, for example, took its name because "[the term] 'bitch' is often hurled at women who speak their minds.
When we're bitching at each other during a cat-fight, we throw in some metaphoric farmyard animals as well.

 NY Review of Magazines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
When it’s used as an insult, "bitch" is most often hurled at women who speak their minds, who have opinions and don’t shy away from expressing them.
So often these magazines are filled with what writer Michelle Goldberg calls easy-to-swallow feminism, "shopping and fucking feminism" that encourages women to pamper themselves, to guiltlessly buy lipstick and dildoes as a way of fighting the evil patriarchy.
Paula Kamen, a feminist writer, said the magazine is probably the only one whose sole mission is to critique popular culture through a feminist lens, and one of the few ‘zines with a social conscience.

 Oberlin Alumni Magazine: Spring 2003
"Bitch," says the 1994 grad, is a term of empowerment, a reclamation of a word once used against women that now celebrates their ability to speak up and fight.
A self-described "longtime magazine junkie," Jervis admits to a love-hate relationship with the mainstream media and their consumerist bent; the mainstreams, she says, are slow to speak out against the status quo because advertising is essential for their survival.
Bitch, on the other hand, with just a handful of ads, can be as frank as it wants.

 Transcending Gender » On being a “bitch”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
My questions center around the word “bitch.” A few of us have been having a rather extended conversation surrounding its use, and the general consensus is that it’s an extremely gendered term (and not in a positive sense) used to oppress opinionated women and to marginalize stereotypically feminine behaviors in men and women.
“Bitch,” which as everyone and their dog knows means an unspayed female dog, gets used colloquially not so much to oppress opinionated women (who don’t give a rat’s ass) as to oppress women who hesitate about observing, commenting on, or arguing about the world around them.
No, because when you start bitching big, and people start actually paying attention to it, a lot of people will respond to your bitching by telling you what a bitch you are.

 Irene Dispatch
Jane Pratt, the revered editor-in-chief of Sassy, recently started a magazine for older women called Jane, which promised to be different from those other women's magazines that mostly make you feel bad for not being skinny or pretty or rich.
Bitch magazine (more about that in a moment!) called it, "An old, advertiser-smooching, beauty-product-hawking, celebrity-ass-kissing, skinny-model-filled friend in a new, faux-iconoclastic, hypocritical, self-congratulatory hat." But given that Jane is owned by the Disney Company, perhaps that's all we can expect.
Andi and Lisa Jervis, another former Sassy intern, in 1996 founded Bitch magazine, a "feminist response to pop culture." "Our target audience is from 13 years old to 50 and beyond," Andi said.

 craftygal porch - Interview with Lisa Miya-Jervis from Bitch Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The first issue of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture had a print run of 300 copies and was distributed by Lisa tooling around to all of the local independent bookstores in her 1977 station wagon.
Fast-forward to 2001--the most recent issue of Bitch had a print run of 34,000 and is available in all 50 states and Canada as well as a few overseas locations.
The other aspect of that is that we are covering stuff that so many women think about, and often talk about with their friends and in groups--we're passionate about it--but it's not a discourse that makes it into the larger arena in terms of feminist critique of pop culture being taken seriously and deemed worthy.
