It's sad that it is. Cosmo is such an effective way to destroy the sense of self of very many young women. It's bad enough to give tips on appearance, but I think it's crossed the line when it gives tips on sex.
It's a magazine that is supposed to be aimed at 21 to 25 year olds, but is read by 12-year-olds, who grow up too fast. It's very popularity feeds its continuing popularity.
My daughter won't be reading it. Too damaging to her character.

There are alot of people in this country who focus on looks. That is the number one reason Cosmo is one of the best selling magazines. They claim to be up to date on the fashion scene. Thank you.

Because it perpetuates the big American lie:
Women can be strong and independent while at work, but when she goes on a date she expects the man to open the door, pay, and protect her.
Almost all of Cosmo is based on this theme.

Because they always have a picture of some sexy woman on the cover and always promise to give their readers tips on a better sex life. Both bogus.

I would want to know who buys it. When I was a teenager, I thought it was so informative, now that I am older, I can barely get myself to read the headlines.
