This is just the ugly fat girls whining that the pretty girls are getting too much male attention. It's just sour grapes and envy.

End the sexualization of women? I do not understand this concept. Stopping photoshop isnt going to stop men from sexualizing women. My eyes do that for me...Im a guy...I want to have sex with them

As for young girls...what the hell do they expect? Photoshop isnt the only thing that makes those babes hot...they are models...they are hot

They can protest all they want but reading these mags isnt mandatory...so to catch feelings is cray. Its like cutting yourself and complaining it hurts

I don't need to read some phony magazine 'advice' to know how to 'be a man' and shit. I think I can figure that out on my own or ASK PEOPLE AROUND ME for a little advice.

[whoo689]

THEY'LL know the answers better than some random teen magazine, for christ sake. This goes for all those teen- and gender-based mags, like GQ, Woman's World, etc. WHO MADE THEM THE KINGS OF THESE DEMOGRAPHICS? Where did these 'wizards' come from? How do THEY know how to 'be a good man' or 'be a good woman' better than we do??? It's absurd.

It's an impossible beauty standard, and once you PAY ATTENTION to the real world, you'll see that. And do TEEN GIRLS really need "life advice" from a bunch of folks probably in their 20s or 30s (pretty sure that NONE of the people who actually work for teen mags ARE teens themselves, ironically) who are perhaps WAY out of touch and are just telling them WHAT THEY WANNA HEAR? If you REALLY need advice on an important issue, ASK YOUR PARENTS, TEACHERS, ETC.

When you girls and women who read this trash like Seventeen (or, god forbid, TEEN Vogue) GO OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD, do you still notice the same array of body types? Or is it DIFF.? Really pay attention and have some fucking self-awareness. Unless you're a goddamn hermit, there's no excuse for watching media and tv and getting SO OBSESSED with "This one body type that they portray" that you get shit like anorexia... despite seeing PLENTY of 'imperfect' body types in the real world.

[whoo689]

shit and stop being so damn gullible.

[whoo689]

If you don't like it, PUT DOWN THE FUCKING MAGAZINES and stop buying them! Simple as that... THEY'RE JUST MAGAZINES, people. It's a completely optional entertainment and information medium skewed to one particular demographic within the population, sometimes VERY narrowly (like cigar mags). Show me where the magazine says, "The views expressed here are what society wants, and we know all." You girls need to stop reading so damn much into the media. Take a fucking media literacy class or some

[whoo689]

BETTER SELF-ESTEEM SO THESE IMAGES COULDN'T GET TO THEM in the first place!  Ya know? Why are you basing your view of yourself on what some stupid magazine says or does? "Oh, there's so many girls that look a lot better than me. this must mean society wants us all to look that way." OR... the MAGAZINE'S EDITORS feel that way, and they never CLAIMED to represent all of society

[whoo689]

a sign that "We all like it that way." I mean, bodies and looks AREN'T ALL THAT WE LOOK FOR when we read a magazine, watch a tv show, etc. Good articles, stories, plots, etc. also play into why folks choose certain media. But, tbh, I kind of find this bitching about this stuff a little petty, deep down. Like, I understand why they want more diversity in beauty portrayed... but at the same time, I REALLY WISH THESE GIRLS HAD MORE CONFIDENCE AND WERE TAUGHT BY THE ADULTS IN THEIR LIVES TO HAVE
