Opps! I wrote this a week ago, but it was kept as a draft!!! :[
I think women are portrayed as incompetent, compulsive, and self centered when reading popular magazines like Cosmo And Glamour. I do not think is a realistic or fair portrayal of how women really are/think. However, unfortunately, these companies are still selling magazines and women everyday continue to base some part of their lives on the article. Even if you say you do not agree or believe with the topics/opinions of the magazine, if you purchase it, you are encouraging them.
Cosmo and Glamour are filled with articles/advertisements encouraging young adults to loose weight, look glamorous, and ways to please men (sexually and emotionally). These magazines write articles about being confident and loving your body, but then push us to think that we need to be a certain weight or jean size. Who dictates this potential weight? I do not get it. I think the prettiest people are those who show it inside and out and this is NOT dependent on what size jeans you wear. People need to grow up and learn that there is more to life than judging people for being too fat or too skinny.

ReplyDeleteI DEF agree with you, i do NOT buy Cosmo, i think that it promotes these ridiculous ideas about what you should look like and what you should act like! Who cares if a guy looks over his right shoulder when hes talking to you THAT DOES NOT MEAN HES INTO YOU! just saying!
