A Quickie

I just bought my first issue of Bust magazine which proclaims itself as being "For women with something to get off their chests." So far it looks pretty good (as does Jermaine of Flight of the Conchords on the cover hubba hubba) but the website is www.bust.com if you want to cruise its philosophy and ideas before spending the somewhat pricey $6.99 on it.

A little side-note is that there is a video on the website about the "This is what a feminist looks like" campaign. I am not sure if I am a huge fan of the idea to create an image of a feminist by using primarily good-looking celebrity figures, but whatever helps the movement! Also there is a point made by a woman who says that "Acknowledging you're a feminist is an act of gratitude for the people who went before you and fought for the rights that you're now enjoying." I think that about sums up my ideas in the previous post, and is a good way to define one of the aspects of feminism that most pass over.
