Feminists write about heavy metal...

smurfette, a feminist magazine, published the article "Horning In -- The case for feminist metal" in their fall 2008 issue. It talks about famous women in metal and why women should play metal, as well as the parts of metal that are pro-feminist.

Nothing wrong with women being part of the music industry as long as they can play their instruments they are most welcome or if they are not talented but however write catchy memorable songs like for instance Blondie weren't very talented but they certainly wrote catchy memorable songs they are welcome. But on the other hand if I was started out in a band and a fat gothic chick auditioned for my band I would have to turn her down not because of my sake but since the music industry is very apperist my band would struggle getting the best gigs, managers, promos etc.
Feminists at times do have valid opinions but in other times they go way too far like for instance I agree with ultmetal that they making a big deal about the Queen song "fat bottomed girls" like it is just fiction and if Queen were saying about a particular woman in real life for having a a fat arse they'd then have a reason to be angry about it

When did BW&BK mag go belly up? I knew about Maniacs but not them.

They sunk just shortly after Metal Maniacs did. I was so bummed. That was my favorite magazine.

That sucks. I was only a casual BW&BK reader (copies were rather expensive here in the U.S. so I only bought it once in a while) but it was a quality mag.

So what mags does that leave? Revolver? Decibel? Ugh.

The best Metal magazines left are U.K. Based such as Terrorizer and Metal Hammer.

Exactly. Those are what I buy now. Both of them have some pretty good content.

More metal people should be buying these mags. That is why they shut down. Not enough people supporting their metal scene.
