Her sister is the scary looking one.

A few years ago, I got a couple of issues of GQ in the mail, don't know why.

3/4 of the magazine are advertisements, and many of them were for 'fragrances'. Damn things smelled so bad I had to throw them out as soon as I got them.

Too bad the readers of GQ, don’t know or care enough to understand the difference between a Gentleman and Woman. The ragazine used to not be called WQ for a reason.

Even decades ago, GQ was a style magazine for gay men. Leafed through a few issues over the years, would never wear what they called "stylish".

Tell me what doesn't cause a stir on social media. Apparently they've discovered that you can build a perpetual motion machine if the parts consist of stirring on social media and reporting on the stirring on social media.

Maybe, if one were marooned on a distant planet with her for several years she might begin to look feminine.

Well in today’s society, you never know what gender people identify as. Maybe they just wanted to make sure.

Serena is a horrible choice. Not only did she ruin Osaka’s first Grand Slam title, she didn’t even win a Grand Slam this year.

Yes, less manly would be better, IMO.

Good grief, does everything cause an outrage these days? At first glance, I thought the quotation makrs were there just to highlight the word on the cover, which is busy with words, and connected it to the crossed-out “men.” I never took it to mean “so-called woman.” Looking at the article, it turns out the word was written by a designer who, for whatever reason, likes to use a lot of quotation marks.

She has high cheek bones. I wonder if she has Cherokee blood in her.

I wonder if anyone has done a study on the level of testosterone in black women? Seeing a lot of male type builds and temper in black females re. aggression and how they raise children and have no use for black men(except to make babies). Don’t know-or care- much about WIlliams or Obama but there isn’t much ‘female’ about them.
