mystery man   10 #1 Posted March 27, 2011 I always find it funny to go into the newsagent glance at the womans magazines and see headlines such as "my husband tried to kill my mother in law then our dog" "he took all my jewlery to swap for beer" and "I think my boyfriend is a secret crossdresser and hates puppies" so I had a look in one of them yesterday to find out that most are such far fetched crap you could ever read.  I wonder what would happen if there was a mens magazine with such headlines as "she never does the ironing" there would be all out riots.  so then, do you think like me that sexism is so one sided and got out of hand?

Why would you assume it's the woman's job to do the ironing anyway eh ? eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RootsBooster   24 #7 Posted March 28, 2011 I think we could start a thread/game in the I'm Bored section, see who can come up with the best "My husband left me for a two headed camel, and now he's pregnant with twins!" style headline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cressida   1,553 #9 Posted March 28, 2011 Some magazines try to up sales by using lurid headlines, and others (especially Soaps) will print something on the front and put a question mark to make buyers believe the headline is true, then when they've bought it they find it is just speculation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Eater Sundae   12 #10 Posted March 28, 2011 I don't know why anyone buys these magazines, when the only really important news is whether Katie will ever get back with Pete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

medusa   16 #12 Posted March 28, 2011 you have such petite hands and are good for such tasks as ironing washing up cooking, maybe even other tasks  Well, that's obviously going to work to my advantage then  My hands aren't petite at all; I take a size 9 glove. This should mean that I'm so dreadful at ironing, washing up, cooking and other tasks that I get out of doing them at all- yes?
