I wonder what sex “Grace Walsh” actually is?

'Do young women really want to read articles that sound like they were written by angry 15 year olds?'

No more than older women do, it seems.
It's all a bit insulting to the intelligence.

Ooft. Check out the list of Hearst's other titles. Wonder how many "terfs" they rely on for sales?

Nobody reads Cosmo anymore.

Oh it's already happening.

Cosmopolitan has seen the biggest circulation drop among women’s magazines so far this year. The magazine’s average circulation fell by 32 per cent year-on-year to 206,510 copies in the first six months of 2019. t.co/mMKFyLgXgF

What an embarrassing article.

SunsetBeetch · 20/09/2019 15:58

Not much engagement there.

I'd be more interested in the 'mountains of research' if some of it were cited.
I have yet to see anyone on here say that any transperson should be denied the right to exist.
Nor have I seen many feminists on here defining women as 'only those so assigned at birth'.
Nor do I see evidence of 'violent transphobia.'
I wish opinion were given as opinion and fact given as fact, backed up by evidence.

I skip read - what a load of crap. Male centred crap. Funny that.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 20/09/2019 15:33

Isnt the editor a gay man these days or am I wrong there? The teen version is pretty crap too.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 20/09/2019 15:32

When I read the article I had to scroll past an image of a woman in a black lacy basque. That seemed to say it all about Cosmo's style of feminism.

Lesbophobia is so on trend these days, isn't it.

Goosefoot · 20/09/2019 15:19

Well, it's Cosmo.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 20/09/2019 15:17

Does Cosmo still exist?
I doubt it will for much longer.
