So I've recently graduated from college. As a part of that, I was required to pen an academic paper on the topic of my choice relating to my major. When it was halfway done, the teacher told me to find places to publish it, because having something published looks really great on a resume, and because she felt it was a really interesting piece.
My paper was on the differences between how women are treated as characters in movies versus video games, and how to get things more evened out. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of some good places to submit to? I know there has to be some out there, so any help would be great. feel free to plug your own favorites in the literary world as well.

It depends on the format of the article- is it literary, or based on data you collected? Either way, pick up some magazines or journals or search academic journals online at the university library, and see which ones have similar articles to yours. Bitch magazine, maybe? You can search for magazines about gender, or about media, and see where it fits best.
I'd suggest doing a Lexus Nexus or similar search to find similar articles, and look at those places. Not being published myself, I can offer no names, but that is where I would go for suggestions.
In addition, your teachers may have leads or contacts, try asking them.
