"Why can't they be proactive and provide a supportive environment for their employees as well? This magazine contributes to a toxic culture where women are seen as sexual objects."

Translation: I'm unattractive and I'm jealous of attractive women. Also, how dare men take enjoyment in their sexuality. That's only for everyone except straight men.

[–]pnw_diver 16 points17 points18 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I think i am going to make the same complaint about Ms. Magazine.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

that is an excellent idea.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points15 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Can we start a petition to get men's fitness magazines removed from shelves because they make us feel insecure about our bodies and paint an unrealistic portrait of what a man's body should look like?

My fat ass is too lazy to better myself, so I shouldn't have to look at attractive men when I'm shopping for unhealthy garbage.

[–]the-tominator 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The funny thing is, what's generally considered reasonably attractive in women by most men, is just a normal healthy body weight without excess fat. It's not unrealistic, and it's achievable to the vast majority of women (I would say at least 90%). Go back a hundred years or so and most people (maybe 80-90%) were this weight and there would likely have been more people underweight than there were overweight.

For men it's harder, to be well-muscled as muscle is harder to gain than fat is to loose. But women think they're being held to unrealistic standards - that they could achieve in a year if they could be bothered. It's SO lazy and it's a symptom of our really lazy society. 'I don't want to try so just move the goalposts so I'm already in them.'

with an official complaint that selling the magazine contributed to an "unsafe" workplace

Was she worried a stack of the magazine would fall on her head? Or was she saying that men would rape her after seeing the magazine pictures?

[–]wisty 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Someone should make the same complaint about virtually every women's magazine.

The only magazines that don't drip with "muh soggy knee" in Australia are the men's ones (science, business, sport, etc), and the cooking / home decorating ones for women.

The vast bulk of women's magazines (fashion, celeb bullshit) is for more misogynistic than Zoo.

[–]ThePigmanAgain 7 points8 points9 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

"...an official complaint that selling the magazine contributed to an "unsafe" workplace and made her complicit in promoting "rape culture"."

The real trickle-down effect -- a feminist in the US takes a piss and it falls on Australian heads.

As for Coles, they are corrupt cunts who do everything they can to ruin their suppliers, and now it turns out they are also a bunch of pussies who tremble when feminists whine. Another reason to not shop at Coles.

[–]elwahrio 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well, Coles and Target are both owned by wesfarmers, and it was only a few months ago when Target caved in to that feminist petition about GTA V.

So them being "pussies" isn't really new.

The modern day equivalent of book burning.

[–]JayBopara 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is crazy. The west is becoming more like Saudi Arabia every day.

[–]MRA-automatron-2kb 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Alternatively if men want to look at pretty women they can just buy women's magasines.
