Cosmopolitan: All Women Think Guns Are Icky and Bad

I shouldn’t be surprised that Cosmopolitan, a magazine devoted to exploiting women as sex objects, now has a video taking its sexism to a new level. In the new video “Couples Talk about Gun Ownership,” women are shown discussing guns and gun-control issues with their significant others. Within seconds, the viewer is aware that Cosmopolitan believes women think guns are scary “death machines,” men that own guns are probably domestic abusers, and the Second Amendment is worthy of nothing more than an eye roll.

Here’s one thing they don’t know;

I fully intend to become a gun-owner, and enjoy a lot of time learning how to be proficient at it with the help of my nephews; one of whom was trained by the USAF.

If I’m any good at it, I may just take up competitive shooting. Beats sit’n at home look’n ugly.

Cosmo should stick to what it does best, i.e. garbage.

Ah, Christina Hendrick's "epic prow" - that's a new term for me, but I must admit, it is a pretty epic prow.

Until someone shoots their hair.....

[OddLane]

That it is.

This woman finds them neither scary nor bad. At least not the ones I used to own before the boating accident!!!

My wife, daughter and daughter-in-law love to shoot. We took another woman to the range to give it a try and now she has her own gun. Women who find guns scary, generally have spent zero range time. Start them with a .22 pistol and move them up.

My gal could shoot a fly off the end of my nose.

Yeah... protecting yourself is a really bad idea. You should let the criminals do what they want if they attack you. Protecting your kids is just plain dumb too, why would anyone want to keep they safe when you take them out?. They should ban seat-belts as well... who needs those?

[MichaelCorleone]

Sure, firearms are always ‘icky’ until you’ve been woken up at 4:00am from a thief in your room. Especially if that thief decides to rape you at gunpoint.

[Durus]

Gun rights as the founders knew it are a thing of the past. Far from resilient, the 2nd amendment is hanging on by a thread.

[Natty Bumppo@frontier.net]

Cosmopolitan’s sole reason for existence is to make Playboy look like serious literature.

[AFreeBird]

Send Cosmo a Hello Kitty AR picture. I’m sure they’ll love the pink.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Someone needs to send them one of those G. Gordon Liddy Stacked and Packed Calendars.

[dfwgator]

I’m sorry, did you say something?

[grey_whiskers]

My daughter, when she was college age, made this observation about why she thinks Cosmopolitan is trash.

All its articles are about two topics:

Why all men are pigs.

How to catch men.

You forgot the other two:

3. How this amazing new exercise (and/or diet) will magically melt up to 10 lbs of fat off of your thighs and butt, giving you that hot new body you DESERVE!

4 Sixteen new and irresistible new chocolate desserts

Cosmo is about the _other_ kind of banging.

[Fungi]

Every cover of this worthless piece of prurient drivel is the same except for one thing, the picture.
