The articles in there are leftie urban fluff written by Sex In The City types who wish they were men and celebrate the right to abortion...

I'd agree, though I would add that the very point of these magazines (and a good deal of our popular culture) is to mold women into homosexual men. And don't think for a moment that they won't succeed.

In the new universal homo-aesthetic, the ideal female body type is a lean-hipped, muscled "mini-man" with a couple of silicone mounds in place of the honking pecs. The important skills these magazines impart to young women include selecting the right lube for anal sex, improving one's fellating technique, getting away with adultery, and coasting through life for as long as possible without any meaningful human commitments.

Not that men have fared any better. As askel5 has pointed out on another thread, male tourists from "flyover country" who come to places like New Orleans or New York generally dress themselves (unknowingly) in the clothes that the urban gay elite were wearing 2 seasons ago.

It's pitiful.

Two virtues that were once essential to our civilization have become nearly impossible to sustain: chastity in women and dignity in men.

I have much more clarity about the chastity issue when it comes to own daughters. I once long ago viewed chastity as a conquest (ashamedly). Most women's mags purport to be all about the new independent woman but they exist strictly from advertising that is designed to sell things which will make them more attractive to men and thus in the end dependent on us to varying degrees.

The teen versions of these rags are incredibly offensive. They design these rags for tawdry women and market them to post pubescent teen girls. There is not even a pretense of dignity anymore.
