Re-assessing men's magazines : Comments

By Matthew Holloway, published 23/12/2011

Could girly magazines be moving average male attitudes to females closer to that of the rapist?

oh dear banning womans magazines
how extremist

see where these silly topics lead
lets have a book burning

beginning with the con-stitution
then the law books..and lawyers

put our leaders on the pire
why not the rich exploiters too
and heck the useless eaters..and perverts too

heck we are doing great
lets kill anyone who has killed..or commited crimes

oh how can we finnish with a bang
lets ban nukes...and cluster bombs

but ban books
you sook..

pick onto.. the real problems
get a life...try reading the words..

not just look at the pictures

we all got life via a carnal act
born out of the muck if you will

killing reading matter
wont kill the mind..that framed the concept
nor the heart that serves..the need

this is the dtrug war thingy
the anti smoker thingy all over again

where does the insanity stop
you cant stop what you hate
so get over it..[get your own life]...

how i want
not as you let me

Under One God,

Well, if women’s magazines cannot be banned, then perhaps they should carry some type of warning label.

Such as: -

“Warning! Reading this material is likely to make you into a brain-dead, consumerist zombie, with possible feminist tendencies, and you could become completely non-satisfiable, and inflict much pain and grief on anyone who has to live with you.”

im fine with the mess-age vanna
but we should put them words over all media

broadcast it
during the commerce-ial breaks

begin every conversation and end each
with the same form of words

heck just a pretty person
wearing a message on their t shirt

anything but book burning/banning/

sticks and stones
arn't photo's..nor words
if words hurt...the word..isnt the problem

but the meaning
credit blame or shame..we give them..offends
let those offended walk away....

[as further offence
..isnt going to fix nuthin]

i dont drink booze
so resist the urge to stop others from doing it

just because 99%..say they do it...
might not mean..the other 1%...dont
but if they never tried it

their opinion is just bias/words

or maybe they got caught 'at it'
a few words..more or less

fine add-in..the words
we all know whats behind them..intent to control others

OUG,

"im fine with the mess-age vanna
but we should put them words all over the media"

Precisely.

vanna continues the line that societies ills "all" emanate from "one" gender.

It's our capitalist-consumer culture that has delivered us the brain-wasting mags and all the rest of the modern paradigm.

Poirot,

No, I don't think that "societies ills "all" emanate from "one" gender"

But when the situation is analysed, the pinnacle of it all, is for one gender to be so often reading articles such as "Robert Pattinson doesn't actually smell like butts", or "Celebrity Apprentice reveals who is nice – and who is nasty"

And they read such articles in vast quantities.

Brain-dead with minimal ability to think for themselves, and there is the question of what to do with them.

I think the question of what to do with women has been around for centuries.

vanna,

When the situation is analysed" it's apparent that the human penchant for gossip and gain is the driving force behind the consumer juggernaut.

Do you imagine that all those marketing and advertising corporations are solely staffed by women? Women and children are huge markets because women have always been the "gatherers" in human society - and children are targeted as an adjunct market in a world where "stuff" is made to be consumed to satisfy a manufactured desire. In fact, I've seen car ads during children's programming, and my son was quick to tell me that I should be using some "oxy-action" washing powder because he saw it advertised during children's programming - and that's separate from all the products designed especially for children. We've constructed an overarching consumerist paradigm where we're drenched by waste, excess and advertising...but it's a human predicament, not just a female predicament.

"What to do with women", eh...can't help but feel a little sorry for you. Maybe you can find an island where there's no women and consequently no angst. Good luck!
