BURN YOUR COSMOPOLITAN!
Why Cosmo and other such magazines deserve a bloody death

As promised, I've written an article on how I feel about those dreaded women's magazines.
Some of the women out there might like what I write now, and I feel a lot of women will hate me for writing this.
Cosmopolitan and other magazines of that nature are very harmful to women.
Women who read, or even take a gander at these magazines are captivated by the catchy and sexually explicit title, paired along with the attractive women that are notoriously featured on the cover.
They become hypnotized with the colorful shiny cover that features various eye catching words like sex, men, or sex tips.
I am currently over my cousin's house (who is like a sister to me) and I see all these Cosmopolitan magazines she kept. As I have one in my hand right now, one of the boldest words on the cover reads "Arouse him like crazy."
Another old "Cosmo" magazine: I see on the cover features the words "What guys notice: hot fall clothes."
And women wonder why men treat them like objects.
Magazines like Cosmopolitan contribute to the insecurity of most females.
Women see these attractive females on the cover and throughout the magazine, wearing revealing clothes that showcase their bodies.
Not that I, being a warm blooded male, hate it, but it does pose some psychological threats to women across the world.
In the eyes of women, those attractive women on the covers are the definitions of acceptable femininity.
Then these women look at themselves and start thinking that they themselves should look like that.
Teenagers who read the magazines start dressing very scantily trying to gain the attention that the women on the covers are getting. These are the very reasons why women are treated like objects.
Women nowadays are displaying themselves as objects, as men stare straight at their bodies that are covered by very seductive clothing.
A lot of these women also go to great lengths trying to achieve the same body types and looks that the women on the covers have.
