Humphrey B. Flaubert,

Judging by your posts, you must look at women’s magazines and porn.

You must be one sick feminist.

Dispensing with porn slightly, are there any others willing to answer the question: - Are there any real differences between women’s media, feminism and gossip?

Or is it all the same?

Lol Humphrey and Lexi for taking Vanka on!
I wasn't going to waste my time, but you two have renewed my vigor!

Vanna, "Is there any difference between women’s magazines and porn?"

Have you looked at the content of both sorts of magazines yourself at all Vanna? Take a look yourself and get back to us.

Why are you so uptight about Women's magazines?
They really don't rate highly on anyone else's agenda, even feminists.

Am I a feminist?
Hmmm...

Wikipedia explains feminism quite well:
"Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women.
Its concepts overlap with those of women's rights.
Feminism is mainly focused on women's issues, but because feminism seeks gender equality, some feminists argue that men's liberation is a necessary part of feminism, and that men are also harmed by sexism and gender roles.
Feminists are "person[s] whose beliefs and behavior[s] are based on feminism.""
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

So yes Vanna, I guess I could be a feminist.

One thing is for sure, I prefer this label to that of being called a misogynist...

At last! Some type of breakthrough (phew).

It been established, that the gossip industry is mostly dominated by women. True.

It has also been established, that very little research has been undertaken into men. True.

Now, according to Suzanonline, feminist are not gossips?

But when feminists talk about men, where do feminists get their information about men, when very little research has been undertaken into men?

They don’t get their information from anywhere, they just make it up like a woman’s magazine.

So my theory at present, is that feminism is also a part of the gossip industry, and fulfils a desire many people have, to gossip and make up stories about men.

And this article is another one of those stories made up about men.

Suseonline, the antonym of "feminist" is not "misogynist", although it must be said that "feminist" is very often synonymous with "misandrist".

You must have picked that piece of misinformation up somewhere disreputable. Perhaps a women's magazine of some kind, or perhaps it's just that you hang out with too many divorced women with an axe to grind...

it occurs to me that the few studies...[of men]
will yet outweight..that of studies re woman

further that such studies..reflect
the equalities..aimed for by feminists

of course man/woeman..
is just too general a title..[titular heading]
without other qualificatory limitaions

ps lexi loved ya new word
i was so proud...[dont know why]
must be the season im presuming..[or lack of a personal life]

anyhow as a generalitie...i only search for porn..to chew up my download limits..that are going to expire after 30 days..plus an occasional youtube clip

of course the adult version of youtube...is much as vanna has exposed the mag media generally...as much as i exposed it particularilly..but heck im think im a feminist[allways been a lesb ian]

i note that all general lables of hum[man]..being..like pea-pole
wo[man]...and heaps of others are male specific..[inclusives..[so we feme's...[fe's..need rethink the words we use]..or we just perfect [refine]..the generic namecalling based on gender...

so whats some lad-ies
feemale..wurds

and here was i thinking in pictures
poor hurumpfree..[but his link didnt have nuthin;..anyhow

still its moderate
so im not mentioning it any further

do not respond to the troll's..[ending this opinionated comment]

What an absolutely pitiful discussion thread!

101 posts so far, of which about 7 and a half have said anything worth reading, and of those maybe half again have actually addressed the article.

At least one in every 3 posts are by vanna, and all of them are designed with one purpose - i.e. to suffocate any chance of an actual discussion of men's magazines by repeating irrelevant rants about women's magazines. Much of the rest appear to be the usual feminism haters, sexual libertarians and anti-intellectuals, all of whom naturally assume all research is poppycock unless it's something they agree with.
