Cosmo Thinks Slut-Shaming is Hot
The Hot Sheet page is one of the most reliable sources of nonsense in an issue of Cosmo. In the December issue, their list of "trends on the rise right now" includes aliens and gossiping. Groundbreaking reporting, as always. But it's the "What's N...
Sexual Mutiliation or Routine Medical Procedure?

Get naughty tonight... but not too naughty!
Sigh. We really don't want to become known as "that blog that writes about Cosmo's sex tips all the time" but alas... we're at it again. (It'd be easier for us to avoid it, if only Cosmo would quit printing this nonsense!) So we've decided to just ma...

Things To Do To His Ass

Prudes in the Locker Room
In the September 2009 issue of Marie Claire, we found an article (in the Health section no less) called "Bare Naked Ladies" that made us roll our eyes and clench our fists in slut-shamey annoyance. And no, it had nothing to do with the rock band.Put ...
Creepy Crush of the Month

Well Played, Family Circle
I was visiting my grandma today, and I ended up flipping through some of her magazines, including Family Circle. I've always thought that the best part of Family Circle is the Letters to the Editor section in the front, because invariably someone ha...

Think Like a Stereotype, Act Like a Stereotype

Cosmo Quick Hit: Sports Are Icky
I watched the NFL draft today. I watched it because I wanted to, not because I was with some guy who was into it. I'm also a woman. According to Cosmopolitan, this apparently makes me some sort of mutant. Here are two items from their May 2009 is...
Cosmo Will Keep You Safe

Nice try Cosmo, but no...
As you know, we love to hate Cosmopolitan. We usually buy an issue when we travel together (like, say, on a long train ride to Boston)... partly for entertainment purposes and partly for research. We rarely read Cosmo, but when we do we almost always...
WAM!
We had such a great weekend at WAM! (and week in Boston). We remembered how "popular" the day-in-the-life format was (heh), so we figured we'd just give you a timeline of what we did, what we thought, and who we met, chock full of lots of links. For...
