Stand up to Google! Take "bitch" off the banned words list!
At Bitch Media, an international nonprofit feminist media organization (and the publishers of Bitch), we're looking into migrating our current email platform to a Gmail platform.
It saves us a few dollars a year, and it allows us to access the incredible tools that Google provides to countless organizations just like ours around the globe.
But we can't. Because we can't register a domain for Google Apps that has the word "bitch" in it. And well, we're Bitch Media.
We know that not everyone’s down with the term. Believe us, we’ve heard all about it. But we stand firm in our belief that if we choose to reappropriate the word, it loses its power to hurt us. And if we can get people thinking about what they’re saying when they use the word, that’s even better.
We're asking you to take a stance with us—and then we'll send the petition along to Google to make our case. So, what do you say? Will you take a stand with (for!) Bitch?
