Bitch Magazine

Looking at Bitch magazine helped put a practical application to what felt like a rather abstract topic for me. In reality, however, you would have to consider not only the people you are writing specifically for, but you also have to consider the types of reactions you will likely invoke in the readers as they read your argument. The writers of Bitch would not want to write anything against a magazine to which their readers might subscribe because that would invoke a feeling of mistrust and disagreement among the readers. Therefore, it is evident that the writers do not expect their readers to be reading such magazines and would not be so put off by their remarks. On the contrary, they might find themselves in agreement and identifying with the points. The sarcasm in this magazine particularly was very to the point and the readers could not help but laugh. It was clear that Bitch magazine does not care what their competitors think of them. They want their point read and they are making their view known. Even a name like Bitch invokes a particular response in the reader and also signals that it might not be for everyone.
