WTF Teen Vogue?

Exactly NothingOnTellyAgain.

Outrage is old-fashioned. Fuck it, I'm outraged.

I think I'm right in saying that teen Vogue isn't in print anymore and just online?

I'm fascinated to find out why they changed the content, moved from print to online, but kept the 'teen' name.

I wonder if the majority of hits they get are from women and girls?

Yep, no clitoris on a diagram about sex aimed at teenage girls.

Remember girls, your bum is just another orifice for boys to stick their dick into, your pleasure is not important.

They've recycled some of the original article but this reads to me as newish generally

ie they've gone and done it again

Not RTFT

Glanced at article

Clearly aimed at girls taking it up the arse >> all talk about PIV at the start, a quick bit for chaps which refers to "receiving" (v heteronormative language and also shades of misogyny/homophobia)

Then goes on much longer about how for "non prostate havers" apprently it's "delightful"!!!!!!!!!!

KLAXON: NO MENTION OF THE CLITORIS

And even though this is a rehash of their article that was similar and got lambasted a year or so ago

STILL NO MENTION OF CLITORIS, IT'S NOT ON THE DIAGRAM WTF IN AN ARTICLE ABOUT SEX CLEARLY AIMED AT GIRLS

Also

SECOND KLAXON THAT ARTICLE HAD TO BE UPDTED TO SAY SAFE SEX WAS IMPORTANT WTAF X10000 IN AN ARTICLE FOR TEENS AIMED AT ENCOURGAING THEM TO TAKE A DICK UP THEIR ARSE

I remember looking into the magazine at the time. It was originally aimed at girls around 12-14 who were into fashion and makeup. It featured in the best magazines for young teen type polls.

By the time the article was published, the owners/editorial staff were aiming for readers around 18-25. Which made the sex content more relevant, althoug very male focused, but the title of the magazine wildly inappropriate.

I don't know why the owners thought it was fine to change the content of the magazine and not the title. Why would women want or need to get sex advice from a 'teen' magazine?

Oh god.

I don't want to raise my kids in this world.



One of the aspects on the original thread that struck me was quite how difficult it appeared to be to object to this article.

It was called informative, the kids were doing it anyway, and a general feeling that you might be a bit pearl clutchy.

But you can't escape the fact that 75% of girls have said they don't want it, boys have said they do, it's porn driven (and therefore completely normalised, but only from the male point of view), and that teen vogue is not an information sheet, it's an aspirational magazine aimed at 13-year-olds who are three years away from any sex even being legal.

(For the avoidance of doubt, the concept of adult women who like bum sex is entirely different).

Really vile. Seems to be a very widespread trend. I'm so glad I'm not young.

Next up “how to gag on a cock like a porn star - your penis owner partner will love seeing your tears”. Just revolting. The utter hatred for women seems so strong at the moment.

Thanks FermatsTheorem. Jogged my memory there.

I'll bookmark that for reading at some other point.

This relentless pressure on young women, which has them showing up at gender clinics in droves to identify away from it.

Ugh.

The advantage of anal sex for a girl is that you don't get pregnant and you don't lose your virginity...

I used to do sexual health stuff with teens and it was depressing that the girls just didn't know about orgasms etc, sex was something done to you, not something you were really involved in.

Sorry, it was 75% of girls said they don't want to have anal sex.

On that basis, where are all the articles which promote providing young girls with the tools to maintain their boundaries?

Where are all the advice columns telling them what to say because 75% of them don't want anal sex, but most boys do?

Where the tools showing how to deal with that situation? One that is far more likely to be happening to them.

Instead of an annual article telling them how they will enjoy anal sex.

Interestingly this article has been re-packaged since it was originally written.

The original article declined to mention condoms, I believe. Or added them as an afterthought.

It's clearly something that the editors of teen vogue want to promote on an annual basis.

I haven't re-read this particular article, because the original was bad enough. But do they advise young heterosexual boys to take a dildo up the arse? Since it's so lovely, and heterosexual girls should be indulging in it.

Here is the original thread from 2017.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/2980781-Teen-Vogue-article

There was an outcry on Twitter, to which the editors responded by posting a photograph of them snogging and flipping women the bird.

Just sort of reaction you expect when you are concerned about your 13-year-old being pressured into anal sex.

Glad I clicked on that pic in an office full of people Big grin:

But you're right, it is so very depressing how normalised it is. As far as I could tell there was no mention of the potential damage it can cause long-term.

Datun, it was this article in the BMJ:

bmjopen.bmj.com/content/4/8/e004996.short?g=w_open_current_tab

It's an open access article, well worth a look. Though a very depressing read.

I thought it was totally inappropriate in a teenage magazine for girls. Maybe in a teen gay publication but not one aimed primarily at girls.

When this originally came out they called the diagrams prostate havers and non-prostate havers.

The clitoris wasn't even labelled. So the orgasm centre for women is not even on the diagram.

Maybe they think it's homophobic because actually they are trying to appeal to young gay men. But what they look like they're doing is encouraging anal sex in under age girls.

I can't remember who it was now, but someone supplied a link to a survey which said something like 96% of girls do not want anal sex. And the boys said they know this, but want it anyway. All tied up with the Valentine's Day card which said if you love me you'd do anal.

As far as I know teen vogue is read by minors. And from what I recall, the author of that article also writes about BDSM for teens.

It's irresponsible, pornography driven, male centred garbage.

HOW is saying that objecting to promotion of a kind of sex between teen girls and boys that does little or nothing for the girls "homophobia"?

oops how did I not see Zutt commented the same right above? sorry.

When this first came out, there was backlash, and the editor of Teen Vogue (a gay man if I recall correctly) claimed that all the backlash was "homophobia."

There was a thread here about it when the article was published.

It was widely criticized for being inappropriate for its teen readership and also focused on male rather than female biology - the clitoris and wasn't even on diagram.

The magazine claimed the criticism was based on homophobia .

Oh my fucking god! Really!!! What the hell!!!

There's a definite disturbing push at the moment to normalise what I would class as extreme sexual behaviour for 15/16 year old girls.

I put on the new Sabrina (the teenage witch) show from Netflix, and it's about a girl who's just turned 16, yet there's been a shot of her getting out of the bath (naked from behind, side boob), plenty of her down in her underwear, and whilst she's 'chaste' the other pupils at the witch school have been up to all sorts, including a group sex scene! High School Students!

(and don't get me started on the girl who dresses like many of us did in the 80s - short hair, jumper and cords - but is being bullied for it by boys and parents alike and considered some special unique person because of her desire not to dress like all the other girls......)

Lol at the vagina havers and prostate owners

Shame they don't mention what happens when you loosen that muscle too much 💩
