Cosmopolitan publishes a new hate article against men, making up 21 "reasons" to paint all men as brainless idiots

bigeyedbunny · 2016-06-09T22:01:14+00:00

Whole article is basically full misandry and hate against men, a lot of clickbait and cringe

Lol do they not realize their target readership is all the women most likely to wear short skirts and crop tops in sub-freezing weather?

Captaincastle · 2016-06-09T22:21:33+00:00

I love that reversing the genders of this article would basically be asking for a feminist fatwa on your head.

Fucking hypocrites.

ImNotIntoPokemon · 2016-06-10T07:35:41+00:00

Communicate your feelings! No, that's too loud not like that. No, don't mansplain to me, not like that either. No, don't try to empathize with me - you wouldn't understand. You know what, just stop talking. Why do men always bottle up their feelings? Communicate your feelings!

TheWarlock117 · 2016-06-10T04:32:43+00:00

"And then they look weirdly child-like for about a week after the haircut. What is up with this phenomenon?" Wtf like we can control that at all?

rahsftw · 2016-06-10T00:18:43+00:00

A woman can hog a second seat on the bus with her purse, but a man can't spread his legs?

Dr_Gage · 2016-06-10T10:01:50+00:00

Seriously, what's with toilet seats and american women? I've never heard this cliche from anyone in my country. Do they just sit with out looking? has anyone taught them to look where you are going to sit before you do so? I see this nonsense repeated everywhere.

deathdragon5858 · 2016-06-09T22:35:28+00:00

Sounds like a bitter landwhale to me. Gee, I wonder why they don't allow comments on that rag lol.

Lord_ThunderCunt · 2016-06-10T07:50:33+00:00

"Never start a sentence with "actually"."

OK, from now on when someone says something incorrect I will say "you don't know shit about shit you stupid moron." And walk away.

ryuh90 · 2016-06-10T02:17:38+00:00

I can't wait until the inevitable "Where Have All the Good Men Gone?" article from her in a year or two...

SuperPCUserName · 2016-06-09T23:04:13+00:00

Don't even pay any mind to this crap anymore as the attention they get just feeds their self inflated ego's and oddly proves to themselves that they are doing good and right things by writing crap like that.

Mens-Advocate · 2016-06-10T00:11:01+00:00

Isn't Cosmo a magazine raking in money by telling women how to look their sexiest, how to seduce men, etc?

So they make money from men, and demean men at the same time.

A male boycott would be useless, as the readership is almost exclusively female. But why do women themselves not object on behalf of men?

AnonymousBraveGuy · 2016-06-10T00:48:36+00:00

The author of the article seems nice.

FinleytheHuman · 2016-06-10T06:55:53+00:00

Let a dude say #15, unless you're 25 year old JLo, please kill the bikini wearing ladies. Know what looks good in your body type and dress appropriately

Eyes_Of_The_Dragon · 2016-06-10T00:47:34+00:00

As a veteran (and to anyone else who has served) this is particularly offensive. Can anyone guess why?

Freyzi · 2016-06-10T11:59:47+00:00

It's like she's describing sitcom husbands and then claiming that's how all men are.

blueoak9 · 2016-06-10T15:07:40+00:00

This is just 21 reasons for men to avoid the vapid little narcissists who are Cosmo's audience.

nerdkingpa · 2016-06-09T21:59:56+00:00

Full list?

Murlocgoesmurgle · 2016-06-10T01:19:23+00:00

I wear shorts in -40! GET ON MY LEVEL!

BlueSignRedLight · 2016-06-10T03:08:23+00:00

Pointing out manhating in Cosmo is basically the same as pointing out that there are naked girls in Penthouse. You're not wrong, but that's really all they publish to begin with.

RetiredSexSlave3 · 2016-06-09T23:55:52+00:00

DAE men are so friggin dumb? ? ? ?

2016-06-10T01:22:45+00:00

And we are surprised about a generation of white woman that hate men and scream rape.

Actually I'm not surprised at all.

flyingburritoman · 2016-06-10T02:29:31+00:00

Eh fuck off

Surtysurt · 2016-06-10T12:31:45+00:00

I get that it's important to bring things to our attention but in the future I would like to see more screenshots so we don't support the website by clicking on it.

Pickle_Jr · 2016-06-10T14:02:38+00:00

Drying off after a shower, I've never seen any guys put on a shirt without still being wet

PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WITH MANY IF NOT ANY GUYS HANNA

morerokk · 2016-06-10T14:10:28+00:00

Manspreading

LMFAO. Yeah, at that point I can't take them seriously anymore.

Cosmopolitan is mostly marketed towards shrieking harpies, anyway.

mexicono · 2016-06-10T14:45:36+00:00

"every man thinks he's good at no. 10 but it isn't true"

scroll scroll

"10. Sleeping in a position that doesn't cause snoring. DO. NOT. SLEEP. ON. YOUR. BACK."

who thinks sleeping on your back without snoring is a talent??? ffs at least english better

qemist · 2016-06-10T00:37:22+00:00

Chill dudes, shit like that from a Cosmo girl is like a PUA's neg hits.

Alkomb · 2016-06-10T00:24:04+00:00

About "#1". Whenever I'd drive by the school in the winter, I'd see so many girls in very short clothes. The most that I'd see is just a guy wearing shorts when it's cold, & that's all. I see girls in very short-shorts, but that's okay.

Edit: Sorry, I accidentally added the "#".

v573v · 2016-06-10T01:00:24+00:00

I don't dress for the weather I dress for the environment that I'm going to be working in. Yeah, I wear shorts when it's cold outside and yeah it can be slightly uncomfortable for the commute to my work, but at work - shorts are a must.

DorneViperSRT · 2016-06-10T02:09:59+00:00

Fuck you reading Cosmo for?

fengpi · 2016-06-09T22:50:07+00:00

The Cosmo gals have a need to feel superior. Don't take this delicious boosting of their lady-egos away from them.

DoItLive247 · 2016-06-10T00:26:07+00:00

The first paragraph of this article from her sets the tone: http://archive.is/RLAkO

redditorriot · 2016-06-10T01:34:03+00:00

Clickbait rubbish, ignore.

Albacorewing · 2016-06-10T00:52:47+00:00

Strong is the inner control freak of the modern American woman.

ewoods3 · 2016-06-10T05:48:14+00:00

This was linked to fucking snapchat.

Banned_For_Opinion · 2016-06-10T13:14:52+00:00

So easy to blame everyone else when you take zero responsibility for anything in your own life.

th3STlG · 2016-06-10T13:17:02+00:00

I like how the article doesn't allow comments, at least in chrome it didn't. Plus she looks like the kind of girl to never really have been around a man. Some of her gripes seem fairy-tale'ish.

Pimping_NZ · 2016-06-10T13:30:47+00:00

Number 10, where it is stated "DO.SLEEP.ON.YOUR.BACK", they do realize that that sleep on your back is the most natural and healthiest way to sleep.

baphometsayshi · 2016-06-10T13:56:37+00:00

cosmo has never published an intelligent article ever and they are routinely mocked for this. someone telling you they followed an advice article from it should be a huge red flag.

Waizujin · 2016-06-10T14:32:35+00:00

Reading this is just pathetic. 90% of it is just men don't fucking care. I put hot food in my mouth, sure it's hot, sure it hurts some, but I don't cry about it. It doesn't damage anything.

I put my shirt on after a shower while still wet. I throw all of my shit into a suitcase and I deal with the wrinkles because I don't care.

Not only is the entire thing sexist, 90% of those listed really don't matter at all, they're personal preference. It's pathetic and so stupid nitpicking as to be sad.

TheDude41 · 2016-06-10T17:23:12+00:00

AVAtistar · 2016-06-10T18:18:27+00:00

can we sue them?

LegitStrela · 2016-06-19T05:42:11+00:00

My ancestors are from Siberia, so I was born with a hereditary tolerance to cold; I start to sweat at 75 degrees in a t-shirt, you're goddamn right I'm gonna wear less clothes. Sorry I can't be normal, like you.

cymrich · 2016-06-10T03:23:40+00:00

I live in Alaska... I don't close my bedroom window fully until its in the single digit temps outside (fahrenheit). shorts at 40 degrees isn't a bit uncomfortable... and I see women wearing them just as much as men!

Also, I'm pretty sure if you gave women a choice of having men spread their legs a little farther, or having them frequently "readjusting" their crotches to keep their balls from being crushed every time they move, they would pick the spreading.

furthermore, I won't ever treat this complaint seriously until I see them giving equal time to people with asses so fat they can't sit in a single seat, and women who surround themselves with bags to make sure nobody can sit near them.

Dazz316 · 2016-06-10T06:41:04+00:00

Cosmo and feminists don't cross paths. I think we missed the mark on this one.

Cosmo is summoning at the kind of woman that so their make up 20 times a day and consider finding a man to be in their top 2 life prioriries. I'll read these in the doctors waiting room and they often have lists of ways to please men too. It's light hearted reading that frankly does way more damage to woman than this article could do to us.

As for brainless idiots? That's fair in this case as the typical type of woman that read this are brainless idiots who date brainless idiots. They relate to that kinda reading.

I don't have a real problem with Cosmo and see it as teasing.

baconninja10 · 2016-06-10T15:25:56+00:00

How many women are outside of a bar in a tiny dress and heels in the middle of the winter? You're cold so I must to give you my jacket, but hopefully that isn't seen as a microaggression.
Don't dare sit too close to a stranger on a bus as you might be seen as a rapist or creep. "Manspreading" is simply being inconsiderate of others. Looking at you lady with her giant purse in the seat next to you. Also, better give up my seat to a "lady" to be considerate.
Let us not discuss broken nails or split ends.
My bags don't cost a checked bag fee, nor do I take clothes that I don't end up wearing on vacation.
Party girls?
Delicates should be separated from the regular cycle clothes.
That's what happens when you spend a lot less than $100 for a haircut. Your highlights are dumb and expensive.
It'll dry.
Communicate my feelings better. By this they mean communicate your feelings only when it is convenient for me.
Snoring is caused by a number of factors, sleeping on your side doesn't fix all of the issues.
Why wait? I want that food now.
Apparently checking the toilet seat position is too demanding.
Women wear mismatching items all the time. Spirit day doesn't mean wear everything you own with the color scheme.
Don't you dare make fun of a woman with ugly, yet "trendy" pants. Just don't.
See above.
7 PM reservation means get to the restaurant by 7, not leave the apartment at 7PM ish.
Mansplaining? Don't contradict a woman because she believes that she is always right and we are stupid.
Gross overgeneralization and you should be more entertaining
Easier to replace shower curtain than to scrub mildew off the shower.
Apparently we'll never understand cramps and just need to deal with your bitchiness.
See 17.

Drago1214 · 2016-06-10T10:06:43+00:00

More then half of those are pretty stupid. So it leads me to think that the men who do this are well stupid. Or the woman who date them are.
