To be stop buying magazines over this?

[HongkongDreamer]

Every time I open a magazine or go on websites like the daily mail website it's full of pages commenting on people's weight, or body shape and how they all look good yet half of them have had work done and belittle women who don't conform to that image. Fed up of how the media portrays women as sex objects. Read them for something to do then feel 100x worse about myself by the time I'm finished reading it.

Can't you read Trainspotting Monthly or something? I'm sure it's your choice of magazines, not magazines as a whole.

I get Good Food and National Geographic.

I don't have that problem with Viz or When Saturday Comes.

New scientist is a surprisingly interesting read. I get smallholder magazine and they never mention celebrity weights...

YABU to stop reading magazines altgether.

YANBU to not read a magazine if it has content that you don't like. That is normally how people choose magazines - they try to figure out if it will have stuff in it that they want to read. :)

Ohhh, Viz!

Try 'New Scientist'.

Avoid 'Heat' or 'OK'.

There you go. You'll feel ever so much better, I promise.

Psychology has very interesting articles.

Well if you don't fancy something as worthy as "New Scientist" or "National Geographic" you could try The Lady. You honestly don't have to be in your 70s to enjoy it and I don't think I have ever seen an article of the type you describe in there!
