i know how you guys feel, i used to get mags like seventeen and that kind of stuff, not so much for the fashion ( i have my own style like Mrs. Frozen, simple, comfortable, and stylish and can be worn in almost any season-but on the other hand, it's FL ), but for advice columns and stories and stuff. however after about my soph or jr yr i just found the stuff to be too superficial and the articles were barely worth wasting money on. plus it was also a time i was getting more into the faith and i was tired of seeing the feminist trash and Planned Parenthood carp it was filled with every month. besides i try not to give them anymore money to them than what the gov forces me to give them every year. I just couldn't relate to them anymore eventually stopped subscribing to them by my sr yr. i almost thought about about writing them a letter why too. but props to you Mrs. Frozen for standing up for your beliefs! :cheer:

I think Instyle is the only fashion magazine I look at nowadays -- it's only fashion and beauty (which sometimes I get frustrated about b/c it seems like it's just one big ad) but if that's what you want, then I would recommend that. It's hard to find a magazine for women these days that isn't like, have sex, use men, expose your body and waste all your money on makeup, etc. Do I sound bitter? I have read so many women's magazines in my life that now, I don't even have to open them up but can tell you what's in it just from the cover (I'm an "expert") and most of it is 'how you can change yourself in order to get a man and then do all the things he wants in order to please him in bed before he dumps you even though you are a feminist.' Puh-leeeeze! Even mags like Self are stupid b/c they pretend to be about health and stuff but then they tell women that condoms protect against HPV and that childbirth is dangerous so women should have abortions! I'm going off on a tangent here... someone stop me!!! :wacko:

Is anyone else offended by that contraceptive patch commercial? It's like, "Now you don't have to worry about taking the pill. Just put on the patch and you don't have to worry!"

First of all, don't let MrsFrozen fool ya about the runway clothes! She has one of those peacock dresses with the oversized hat and see-through train she wears around the house all of the time!!!!! :D :D :D

I love you, baby!

Secondly,

Is anyone else offended by that contraceptive patch commercial? It's like, "Now you don't have to worry about taking the pill. Just put on the patch and you don't have to worry!"

Yes I am. But that's just the overt theme. Did the lady have to be wearing see-through panties on the commercial, either?! I never thought I'd see it, but they're actually using sex to sell.....well, sex. How disgusting.

Also, commercials I've seen on MTV have really bothered me, too. Like the naked guy running to his room (full back-al nudity) in a Trojan commercial.

And who's stupid enough to think that they're going to have the wildest carnal night of their lives by cracking open a thing of Uncle Ben's rice or a pack of Dentyne?!

The list never ends and it makes me so angry!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Hi, Pat.. Welcome to Phatmass!! :D

I don't even have to open them up but can tell you what's in it just from the cover (I'm an "expert") and most of it is 'how you can change yourself in order to get a man and then do all the things he wants in order to please him in bed before he dumps you even though you are a feminist.' Puh-leeeeze!

Hahahah! Sounds like Cosmo to me! Totally degrading to woman, and it's supposed to be feminist!

Even mags like Self are stupid b/c they pretend to be about health and stuff but then they tell women that condoms protect against HPV and that childbirth is dangerous so women should have abortions! I'm going off on a tangent here... someone stop me!!! 

I totally agree with you! It's all garbage! I think I want to start a Christian Cosmo, which has advice, articles, fashion and the like, but also recipes and Scripture and all that good stuff. I will call it "Cosmo for the Christian Woman." :D It'll sell like hotcakes!
