I just came across this article. Really interesting comparison of magazine covers over decades, but utterly depressing.
AIBU to think it's capitalism we're up against really these days, isn't it?
Depressing because it feels like a much harder fight than going up against 1950s stereotypes, which our foremothers did pretty successfully. But while we've gained freedom in so many areas, the commodification of women (and everything) is intensifying isn't it? (Or does it just seem harder as it's our fight, and we're living it.)
If radical feminism is about getting to the root, well, there's not much point in fighting the magazine industry - it's just demonstrating the influence of consumerism isn't it? And that's the real problem - isn't it?
