To not let DD read Cosmo, More, Just 17, Company & other trashy magazines?

Ok so she's only 6 but I have stopped buying them and will be very reluctant to allow her to read them as I think they peddle a feeling of insecurity and advertise advertise advertise creating a really greedy mentality

See, when Shout and Sugar came out (around 96? I might be wrong), that's when Just 17 went from being for older teens into the tween market and morphed into J17.

19 mag was quite good too. I still have a freebie mirror that came with that in my bag now thinking about it.

I'd forgotten about the sealed section!

I maintained my magazine addiction all through a very right-on youth. I'd go on marches and then sneak-read Cosmo on the side.

I am now a raddled, irredeemably right-on in many ways, ageing feminist who disapproves of the patriarchy and works for a wimmin's mag

DD 16 buys Cosmo and I read it when she is not looking. AIBU?

I was banned from reading Blue Jeans, Just 17 etc. As a result I became and still am a magazine junkie. Be warned!
