You are an incredibly intelligent, witty, out-spoken, and accomplished woman. So, how is it that in the last 72 hours you have allowed yourself to make assholes out of all white people, all woman, and all democrats? Thank god for the first amendment, but give me a break! There is no reason to take advantage of that freedom that we have, and your common decency should have told you that.
I feel that the plight of the Woman's movement and the African American's movement are so similar and interwoven that it is ridiculous to attempt to bring someone down based on their race and it is completely counterproductive. However, the point that makes me the most angry is that you are doing this in the name of feminism. To that I ask you to kiss my ass!
Sincerely,
Alyssa

Cosmopolitan is the most useless publication ever in print.
As most of you know, my job is mindless beyond all comprehension and most anything to alleviate my absolute boredom is welcomed. A co-worker brought in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan and with a cringe I reluctantly began to flip through it. As I was inspecting the contents I was hit in the face with why I had sworn off this hideous excuse for journalism in the the first place--
The first thing that catches my attention is the fact that every single cover for as long as I can remember has been exactly the same. I cannot believe that people actually purchase something, religiously in some cases, that does not have the creativity or integrity to make their cover interesting, unique, or at the very least different from the last one in any way. This is of course over looking the fact that every celebrity on their cover is not only uninteresting, but airbrushed within an inch of their life. Does anyone really care if Rihanna "puts those rumors to rest"? Much to my dismay, a lot of people do.
My second issue with this mag is that they accomplish (what I thought was) the impossible--they fill 260 pages with nothing of any substance. The articles that are featured on the cover are '21 Naughty Sex Tips', '5 Things Never to Tell Your Guy', 'Sex He Has Alone', and 'Your Va-Jay-Jay'. Trust me when I tell you they are as riveting as they sound. Then as I was flipping through this esteemed publication I come across an article that absolutely makes my skin crawl entitled '6 Ways to Train Your Boyfriend'. I don't know about you, but I prefer my relationships sans all of these sorts of games. This is why some men have the opinion about woman that they do, and this is why some men think that it is okay to treat woman the way that they do; some woman are indeed that back-handed and deceitful.
I hate hearing these stupid woman talking about double-standards and discrimination, but when it comes to how they act this is what some of them chose to do, write bullshit articles like this! Cosmopolitan magazine does nothing but hurt the woman's movement as a whole. All I have left to say to these idiot women that support publications like this is that they deserve to make 24 cents less on the dollar than men!
Some interesting alternatives for woman with a fucking brain:
Bust magazine http://www.bust.com/
Bitch magazine http://www.bitchmagazine.com/
Nylon magazine http://www.nylonmag.com/ (not feminist, but far more interesting and intelligent)
