Pop Culture
In a 2006 interview titled "Pop Goes the Feminist," ***** magazineAndi Zeisler explained the naming of the magazine [11]: co-founder
When we chose the name, we were thinking, well, it would be great to reclaim the word “*****” for strong, outspoken women, much the same way that “queer” has been reclaimed by the gay community. That was very much on our minds, the positive power of language reclamation.
Pop culture contains a number of slogans of self-identification based on "*****". For example,
- "You call me '*****' like it's a bad thing."
- "I go zero to ***** in 3.5 seconds."
There are several invented acronyms. Heartless ***** International is a club with the slogan "Because we know ***** means: Being In Total Control, Honey!" Other imagined acronyms include
- "Beautiful Intelligent Talented Creative Honest"
- "Beautiful Individual That Causes Hardons" [17]
- "Babe In Total Control of Herself". [18]
