Grazia- Polly Vernon

[SeeTwoTo]

Because I doubt any of you read it .

I agree with her and think she’s brave. I’m irritated, annoyed and upset that I have to call her brave for having an opinion and putting it in print.

Polly, I don’t do Twitter, so I’ll say it here. .If I ever see you in the pub I’ll buy you a G&T.

She is so right. That's exactly what happens.

Not the biggest fan of PV but she's absolutely got a point...

I bought Grazia just now because I saw this article (never normally buy it). Thankyou Polly for saying it clearly.

Fab.

Interesting...

Shocked that there was anything vaguely worth reading in a "woman's" magazine.
I stopped buying them a long time ago due to lack of interest in ridiculous "style" (irrelevant to a 90s indie kid) and the utter vacuity of the rest of the content.

Thanks Polly! I will be buying Grazia this week, to show support for her.

Wow. Good one.

I don't buy women's magazines as whilst I care passionately about clothes and style I'm not hugely interested in what is "in" from season to season. I did buy In- Style for a few years in my 40s I think. I enjoyed it, but as with many things, music, cinema, books , I've just moved on and I haven't bought it in a long time.

I don't however feel the need to validate how superior I am by making sneering digs about women who might enjoy Grazia.
And as if "90s indie kid" wasn't marketed as much as anything else.

And Polly Vernon was ripped to shreds on herecwhen Hot Feminism was published.

It wasn’t really a thread about Women’s magazines-as I said, I assumed they wouldn’t be widely read here.

It’s not even about being a PV fan, or otherwise. It’s about a journalist who has stated how she feels and sees the topic. I couldn’t be sure I could do the same and keep my job.

Oi! I read it. Some of you really should listen to yourselves.

Anyway back to Polly - I thought it was interesting as she’s hardly a rad fem and I’d have linked but I couldn’t find an online version. Do drop in if you hear about this thread Polly - promise we won’t talk about our kids

No it wasn't but that didn't stop one poster jumping at the opportunity to show off how superior she is to those vacuous women who read them.

I meant to post about it last week, but didn't want to admit to reading Grazia...

Floisme

Oi! I read it. Some of you really should listen to yourselves

Exactly Flo.

Well said Polly.

I'll buy a copy tomorrow. I frequently buy Grazia and other glossies too

Good work Polly.

I have seen tweets from PV that have made me think she has been GC for some time. India Knight, also.

Well said Polly! I hope you read this. Women are being silenced everywhere. You are exactly right to call out this authoritarian #nodebate shitshow

I thought PV could well be GC
Intelligent, irreverent and the "right age"
Respect.

It's a good piece. Lots of women will read it.

India Knight is far too grounded not to be GC.

I thought it was interesting as she’s hardly a rad fem I wasn’t a radfem either until recently, just a vacuous woman. Now I’m both

I could have been a rad gem but they thought I was too flighty.

And my spelling wasn’t good enough
