Question:

Why not just buy a Boys Life magazine?

Answer:

For the same reason women continue to buy pants without pockets; women prioritize appearance over utility because they understand that appearance IS a woman's utility.

Men manipulate the world.

Women manipulate men.

Feminists keep pushing how we should be encouraging women more to pursue STEM and other high-paying, yet difficult and stressful careers, and blaming women's low numbers in said careers on external factors. However, anyone with any sense of logic and reason can see women just DON'T WANT to pursue these careers...Why, you ask?

BECAUSE THESE CAREERS INVOLVE DEDICATION AND HARD WORK.

If they were to put the "Girl's life" header on the Boy's Life magazine above, the magazine would go under in a fucking heartbeat.

These magazines know exactly what girls and boys are attracted to...Girls: provision, attention and materialism. Boys: action, creativity and accomplishments.

Girls magazine- How to dress like a whore

Boys magazine- How to start your professional life

...this image says so much about our society. It starts much earlier of course...with the "pink" aisles in the toy department. Our children are prepared for their hideous future roles in this society by Madison Ave. marketing designed to maintain the status quo.

I laugh when people say these are sexist. The girls magazines are written and edited by women and the boy's magazine by men. How is it sexist if the women choose to write what they want? No man is forcing her to write about "girly" stuff. No change is ever gonna come because if the girl's magazines had the same content as the boy's ones then there would be zero sales. No girl would want to read that and the company would have a major loss. I think this might be too complicated for feminists to understand.

Seems like they care about their education, getting all A's, though.

If you notice, the girl's magazine has the girl on the front because women are narcissistic as fuck. On the guy's magazine however, the guy's nowhere to be found because men are selfless. Also: GIRLS LIFE [in all caps?] versus Boy's Life [no all caps]. Oh, these two covers speak volumes!

Classic case of "women are human beings, men are human doings".

I think that quote belongs to Warren Farrell.

Magazines pander to preferences, not the other way around.

Anyone who thinks an F-117 Night Hawk is in their future is going to be very disappointed the entire plane is completely redundant and was retired Years ago.

Great journalism as always.

The oppression is really at the boy's side.

If you discover a vaccine, or invents an aircraft or anything similar, chances are you are making anything for everybody else, but you don't get anything out of it while you live. Maybe in some cases you get some money, but society and girls in particular will shun you. Scientists don't get hot fashion models as girlfriends.

Girls on the other hand are taught to take care of themselves and their looks, which gives them tremendous benefits in life and a lot of things for free.
