It asserts men's power over women in a shitty way).<BR/><BR/>"Bitch, get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich."<BR/><BR/>"Keep your mouth shut, stop talking...just do me and be quiet."<BR/>(Always nice to encourage women to keep their mouths shut and obey their men).<BR/><BR/>"You're a piece of meat, so wear these bikinis to display the goods!"<BR/><BR/>"As if your life wasn't busy enough, you should now be styling your pubic hair in a way that pleases men...without regard to how irritating it may be to you!"<BR/><BR/>"You exist for the pleasure of men. Let your ass be grabbed. You are an object."<BR/>(This is disgusting.. ASS GRABBING STYLE???) Well I dont know about you guys, I knew Adam loved me when he grabbed my ass in that special way.<BR/><BR/>----<BR/><BR/>I also think this is insulting to men. I'm pretty sure Adam would be insulted by it... and I am too. If the actual DECENT men wrote it, it might say things like "You're beautiful, you dont need to spend 5 hours on your makeup for me" ... or, "Lets eat some delicious steak, save the smoothies for later"...or "Stop watching america's next top model, you're gorgeous the way you are".<BR/>Most men I know arent assholes like that, but I'm so glad cosmo is reinforcing the ones who are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630556584547798739.post-1109213701854661152008-04-07T10:45:00.000-04:002008-04-07T10:45:00.000-04:00I think a better title would have been, "if Maxim ...I think a better title would have been, "if <I>Maxim</I> readers edited Cosmo." <I>That</I> I'd believe. It does degrade men...and normalizes sexist male-centered selfish behavior!lindabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137817218867386560noreply@blogger.com
