I really do miss the old Bust. I liked reading articles written by people around the country. And the Boy De Jour article seems like Cosmo's "Guy With out His Shirt" page. I liked the old issues with the collum written by a man, (I can't remember if it was the same guy every time.) As weird as this sounds, I buy the magazine for Ayun Halliday's piece every time. I love her to pieces. She just writes so well. But, yeah. I want to see more of the feminism in Bust. And less of the knitting. I'd like to see a crochet craft featured. Remember the article they did on chinese punk bands? That was awesome! I had no idea punk was in style in China.
I'd also want to see the themed issues coming back.
And I'd really like to see an article on where music is going, music featuring women. I was thinking about it the other night when I saw this local band play. The women rapped about sex and danced around is scant clothes. I was thinking about how that used to be a big deal. Like when Peaches arrived on the scene and everyone freaked out. I'm not really a Peaches fan, I haven't heard much of her music.
But still. It seems relevent.
A reproductive issues Issue would be grand. I hope they come out with one. And Betty Page? Feh.

I just think women have tended to be dismissed with "what's your problem" whenever they got/get angry about anything to do with women and feminist related issues, and I don't see why that's necessary here. So what if the author is angry? Why not?

Mouse, I think that's a good summary of her answers. Which is really a shame b/c it's crap advice and again, it's historically what's happened to women--'You don't really want what you think you want--you want what I want you to want and what I decide is appropriate for you to want.>"
