They have gone weirdly political. They have a "reproductive rights" reporter and everything.
Which is strange. But I guess women who take their advice to put postage stamps around their man's junk (real thing I actually read in one) are the type to follow terrible political advice as well.

Comment on the article-
As a gunsplaining woman, you can keep the non-gunsplaining men with their perfectly metrosexual ways. Men and women alike who are properly trained with firearm usage absolutely blow holes in all of your arguments here. There have only been a glorious number of cases to prove it, but ironically you didn't mention a single one in your 'We women are delicate flowers' article. Go back to talking about sex and pillow talk because talking about lifestyle choices such as self defense and the men that women shouldn't date based on their lifestyle choices isn't in your bag of tricks Prachi Gupta.

Ok so first you need a roll of stamps. do they even make those anymore? I haven't been to the post office in 10 years.
Anyway, you buy a roll of stamps and then you somehow get your man naked and flaccid. I'm not sure how this is accomplished, but that's what they advise.
Anyway, while flaccid, you put the stamps in a ring around his dick. And then the "game" is to see how long it takes him to break out of the ring.
There's also similar advice involving a donut.
This is when even 17 year old me realized that cosmo's sex advice was literally The Worst.

The one I heard about was that they were advising women to put donuts on the guy's schlongs. That's a good way to ensure that you will NOT be in bikini shape in under 4 weeks.
I would think a guy would be a bit nervous about a woman nibbling on a donut close to his junk. After all, you do have to bite a donut - you don't gum them, unless you're 90 years old and have all day.

Never was a Cosmo reader, but their shtick has always been about the sexual liberation of women, feminist style.
How is it that feminists are the biggest pussies when it comes to guns?
It is the opposite of empowerment: sex life like a whore (see Ace's appreciation of Christian Grey's game before being lulled into dinners w/no sex contract) but not wanting to protect yourself.

I do not understand why this isn't the go-to narrative on this hag every single time her name comes up. Its not that she has no accomplishments, its that she's been lousy at her job each time, and only got them because of a man. She's a feminist icon like the Green River Killer is a dating expert.

I saw exactly one post referencing Trump, and it was germane to the discussion at hand. So how does that make it a "Trump thread"? You, yourself, as of #117, single handedly doubled the Trumpery.
And I increased it, too, but then I don't have a hangup about it.

Gun owning men don't waste time and money on silly, worthless women. Silly, worthless women are undefended and more likely to be killed in crimes.
I don't see the down side.
Also, for the pump and dump pick up artists, after lying about owning guns, revealing the truth is a convenient way to end an inconvenient relationship.

whether those laws are a deterrent for criminal gun violence.
***
The primary goal is to disarm the populace so that the government has a complete monopoly on force.
The secondary goal is to increase crime such that people will be forced to demand more protection from the government, giving government a plausible reason to take on more and more power.
So...it isn't so much they don't care if gun control reduces crimes, it is actually that they want the opposite.
As one gun grabber put it...never let a crises go to waste.

The as yet unrecorded "Riannon" or however you spell it sounded like a heavy metal song. Seriously, in its early stages it was about the heaviest thing I ever heard from them, with Stevie wailing her lungs out like the second coming of Janis Joplin. Pretty damn great version, and I've always hated that song.

Drinking lots of water (usually they recommend 8 glasses of water a day) is a standard feature of most diets. Unless it's a hot day or you've been unusually active or your name is Marco Rubio, you don't drink nearly that much. So it's a reminder. I don't know if it really helps all that much, although it's undoubtedly better to have a glass of water rather than a Snickers bar, but I wouldn't be bothered by a reminder.

As a general rule in print, advertising covers 90 percent of revenue. It probably costs more to print and ship the magazine than the cover price, but advertising doesn't cover all of the cost. I seem to recall that 60 something percent advertising is the breakeven point.

Some people like to make lists and they can be compulsive about it. Some of us have to nowadays, because we forget shit. I think it's just a personal quirk. People who make to do lists and goals lists and all sorts of lists for everything and actually do that stuff - well, I don't mock them, because they're usually much more efficient than I am.

is because if the public ever finds out what's going on inside the State
Houses
Democrats get elected using the "let me save you!" message, so they need to have citizens dependent on them.
They loathe independence, self-sufficiency because that is a person who doesn't need them.

Oh lists I get. I'm constantly making lists. And then losing my list and being like "WHERE IS MY NOTEBOOK I NEED MY LIST!!"
I just don't get setting Instagram goals. My approach to Instagram is :
*take picture of children
*scan through a few filters and pick one
*post to my closed instagram account with 15 followers.
The idea of it being a business model worthy of a planner just blows my mind completely.

My wife (well gf at the time) had a subscription. I'd read it too for fun and ask her, seriously do you buy into any of this bullshit? And her answer was no, but everyone reads it so I figure I should be in the know of what everyone is reading. And I suspect that's the reason Cosmo exists, nobody actually cares what they write, but everyone assumes others do.
Posted by: Monsieur Moo Moo at February 11, 2016 01:10 PM (0LHZx)
You'd open up Vogue and there would be some rail thin and sullen model
made up in whiteface with black lipstick, wearing a $15,000 dress made
out of yarn and feathers. Clothes that, if worn anyplace in the country
besides Manhattan or San Fran, would cause people on the street to
point and laugh.
Like modern art, modern high fashion goes out of its' way to be "edgy" - and ugly.

The freaky stuff is either for someone rich enough to care about looking unique, or for designers to show how creative they can be, with the idea that elements will find their way into normal clothing.

people wear. Saw a doc years ago on high couture. The secret is that
everything is altered to fit the customer and her specifications. Saw a
photo of three famous women wearing the same dress but each dress was
slightly different. Different length sleeves and the waist in different
places. It made a big difference.
All that silly shit you see is just to get attention.

Well, thanks to the modern miracle of the Internet, women can now get all their clothes custom made from eShakti. Enter your measurements, pick a style and choose any variations you want, order it and have it charge your credit card. A week or so later, UPS drops it off at your doorstep. For about $35. After the first time, they have your measurements so spending money on clothes is way too easy. Kind of like buying books from Amazon.

Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan announced that they were changing the "format" of their "magazines" and dropping the pretense of there being some wall between advertising and editorial; going forward into the future, the entire magazine would be "advertorial,", i.e. all the purportedly neutral/independent "content" would henceforth be "sponsored."
In short: The entire magazines, cover to cover, are advertisements.
It had already pretty much been like this de facto anyway, but last year they just dropped the mask. Vanity Fair then announced that its next issue was to be "sponsored" by Cadillac or Mercedes or some such car company. Recently they had a "Hollywood" issue that was paid for by movie studios. Etc.
But nothing is stopping "nonprofits" from renting out the magazines for cover-to-cover propaganda as well. No one said it had to be advertising a product or a brand. They apparently will also advertise an ideology. For $$$ of course.

"Darling Scorpio, you'll have a hot fling with a sexy Aries on the 1st, but on the 8th, you'll be swept off your feet by a gorgeous, but possessive Tarsus who will fly you off to his hide away ski resort in the Alps. On the slopes, a handsome Virgo will come to your rescue..."
There was a new man every single f'ing week of the year and of course, none of them were Joe Schmoe, bus driver, but "handsome, glamorous, sexy, divine!" men, ready to take you to their estate in Tuscany or pour diamonds all over you 5 minutes after they met you.
And then there were erotic outfits for each sign:
"Leo, you will sizzle this year in pink leather assless chaps!"
I bet every single Cosmo reader also read 50 Shades and loved it - and didn't laugh while reading it.

Everyone knows that "gunsplainers" dont date. They provide ample genetic materials on demand (great demand) to numerous females who are magnetically drawn to a real man when one makes their presence known.
Dating is only for those lesser specimes of manhood who are bullied into believing that providing something more then just genetic or financial material is necessary.
