This shit is nothing new. I’ve seen this all over the place, all the time. But since I learned feminism, I’ve avoided clicking on these ridiculous links. But I wanted to revisit the brainwashing of women, so I took a look at this slideshow. There’s nothing much to be said about this, like I said, it’s pervasive, and critiquing this sort of thing would be a pretty dull project. I was surprised by how angry I felt, so I decided to share. So many women read this crap and act on it. It makes me sick.
How to Be a Good Girlfriend?

Um so I’m immature, but after looking at that hilarious slideshow it said, “You might also like: what to do if he fractures his penis” oh Cosmo, wtf.
On a more serious note…yeah. toads agree ork.
lol i saw that link too and did not deign to click on it. anything i need to be filled in on? shall i bring their recommended kit (if they have one) everywhere everytime in case of an embarrassing faux pas such as breaking a man’s penis? lolol
lol they were just like oh go to the hospital. LOL oh dearz.
lol ok that’s kind of funny i must admit.
The slideshow should be retitled “how to submit to the man.” I can understand making some compromises in a relationship, but this seems to be almost completely about doing things you don’t want to do. It also assumes that no real women like sports (what if she’s legitimately more into the game than the boys?!) or that boys not making you orgasm is something that’s totally normal and you should be more careful not injuring his ego than getting off. This makes me so angry.
YES tell me about it! the girl being into sports thing was the first truly barfalicious element to the piece, with more and more worse and worse following. what a ridiculous form of oppression. and it’s incredibly upsetting that it works. i havent seen research or anything but i wouldnt be surprised to see some people act on this bullshit advice.
“i havent seen research or anything but i wouldnt be surprised to see some people act on this bullshit advice.”
The worst thing, I think, is that it’s not just girls who act on this kind of advice, its the boyfriends who see this kind of thing in our culture and come to feel completely entitled.
yeah, i meant that too. though im not sure how many men are reading cosmo, but im sure theyre interacting with other media that does the same thing.
“Not That: Cheer really loudly, chug beers, or tell off-color jokes.
Let’s put it this way: It’s really hard for him to be sexually attracted to someone who reminds him of his buddies.”
aka – dont cheer loudly or enjoy beer – only blokes are allowed to do that…
Not only does this little slide show advocate submissive behaviors in women, its advice is rather off the mark.
Since when were men a homogeneous entity who all find one class of female attractive?
I love girls with dirty/black senses of humour, although I’m not crash hot on anyone cheering loudly, and I’m ambivalent to the “chugging beers” phenomena. Reminding me of my “buddies” is nothing but a positive in a potential partner.
I didn’t go past the first 2 slides, but I was hardly surprised by their content. You see much the same inane relationship advice in the pages of mens health or GQ.
/facepalm
