Cosmopolitan Magazine Is Iconic. What Have They Done To Themselves?
We no longer have to wonder.
I’ll show you what they’ve done. Here.
Makes you want to rush right out and buy it, right? After all, nothing sells like resigning to the worst we can do, rather than constantly pushing forward towards the best that can be done.
Is this where we’re at, now? Give up? Resign? Let’s just be fat and ugly, blowing sweat-hog farts in the general direction of naysayers?
I’m not defending Cosmopolitan, per se. It’s a bit of a smarmy brand that does engender the worst things about “us” (females), draped in hot chicks on the cover. But at least it’s a brand that has always inspired being hot looking, not being fooled, and getting your best chick game on. You get to be as stupid as you want for any of the rest of it.
Being hot looking or inspiring to be hot, gives you many more options once you attain or re-attain that status, ladies, and dudes are always in your corner for looking hotter.
Tess Holliday says to kiss her sweaty, ugly, and fat ass.
Let’s illustrate more.
Hey, let’s put a 1970’s-era AMC Pacer on the cover of Hot Rod! After all, no guy is going to buy or build that rod. They might as well give up.
Or, hey, let’s put a Tesla on the cover. It’s the new thing.
…I’ve got an idea.
Let’s put a washed out, toothless crack whore on the cover of Easy Riders, sitting on a Vespa scooter!
Do you get my take, now? I really don’t care that much about the societal degradation and celebrating the basest element of its slide, or, rocket ship to hell. What I care about is destroying a good business brand that was so hard fought to achieve.
Why is it so much the propensity of the left to be nihilist, to shit on their own doorstep, to regard everything as the enemy that needs to be destroyed?

The Miss Piggy forearm tat is fitting.
It isn’t appealing to the masses to be the hardest worker in the room. Those who are successful in body and/or life got there by whatever excuse/lie one can think up. Why try?
A lion does not concern himself with opinions of the sheep.
@Richard Hall – says the man with a toy sheep as his avatar…
I was about to eat the sheep.
Chicks generally do not call each other’s bullshit out. In fact, they make a special effort to swallow whatever bullshit their friends feed them in exchange for their friends doing the same for them. Sort of like kids playing a game of ‘make-believe’. Guys on the other hand mostly keep it real. Bullshit is called out immediately and any claim is expected to be backed up with tangible evidence.
Ugh. Your statement is clueless and misogynistic. It trivializes women and promotes a fictional “bro” mythology.
I’m female, and I’m calling you out on your bullshit.
All genders support their friends sometimes, and challenge them sometimes. Women might not push back in front of an audience, especially one they don’t trust (I’m looking right at you here), but that doesn’t mean it’s not getting done. People are people. Stop putting women into little ticky-tacky boxes so that you can feel better about yourself.
Jbro-
I am calling you out on your BS. At work, I use to walk around with a pretty hot woman (she was my buddy’s wife). She would tell me to notice the icy glares from women especially when she wore some crazy boots. Chicks are brutal towards each other.
Yep, never seen such vicious as females who detest other females because males find them more whatever.
LOL.
Chicks are so funny.
Jbro, note the use of the words ‘generally’ and ‘mostly’ in my post and then go and learn some statistics. You’ll need more than a single annecdote and boilerplate feminist rhetoric to disprove my argument.
Btw, how I feel has nothing to do with the logic of any argument I may make but I strongly suspect this is not the case for you.
I Shared this on my Facebook with the following commentory:
The lefts inversion of practical norms. Obesity is linked to an increased risk of ALL the non communicable diseases! Heart disease, stroke, dementia, cancer and on and on.
A comment to the origional fb post sums it up nicely:
“Suppose you can only make mud pies. So, someone puts a picture of a mud pie on a classic baking magazine and everyone who can only make mud pies rejoices.”
This isn’t about “fat shaming”. This is about the aspirational aspects of society being eroded. You can be secure in where you’re at whilst still working towards an ideal. It is not a binary choice!
what leftist nihilism?! that’s rich! You elected mussolini, hitler, and the kkk grand wizard who’s already looted the treasury, trashed the planet, and put children in concentration camps…. so far. But… THIS is “leftist nihilism”?!
And why not put a toothless crack whores on easy rider? The norms are gone — no need to even wear the white hoods and robes! Let’s just put out covers of porn stars the cheeto has banged and paid-off. Or better yet let’s get some really thin, hot immigrants or refugees, right before they’re deported.
We’re free to be as offensive, stupid, incompetent, and feloneous as we want to be. It’s a new age…. and we can kick every sandcastle to hell.
Meh..you have a lot of hate in your heart. Let it go.
LOL. The deranged are so fun to watch!!
OMG, you are such a cuck! You really should do something about that.
mehitabel : Of course, you didn’t speak about Staline, Castro and Mao …
Why ? Oh yes because they’re left wing heroes. Your heroes. Be proud (tip : you shouldn’t).
I think anybody who tries to kiss that oversized ass is going to need a crowbar to get back out.
I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life…but I’ve had many years of success and focusing on getting trimmer gives me something to shoot for. Sometimes I screw up (and badly) but I never have and never will tell the world to conform to my overweight ass and just deal with it.
There was a skinny kid in grade school that used to run up and kick me in the rear and then laugh while I tried to catch him. This went on for pretty much the entire semester until one day I finally caught him and then proceeded to slap and sit on him until he cried. Turns out, he did me a favor as all that running after him got me in shape enough to finally catch the little prick.
While being cruel to others is never a good thing, we all need a swift kick in our (possibly gargantuan) asses now and then to remind us that self improvement is a worthwhile goal.
A shame that magazines resort to extremes…anorexia is no healthier than being obese. And when photos are “shopped & cropped” to create a barbie-body that is theoretically impossible to attain, not only are they hard on women, but imagine the men waiting, hoping and looking to find a fairy-tale that doesn’t exist.
I agree that it isn’t men or women that can be mean or vindictive or petty…people in every genre get to be good or evil and there’s plenty to prove it.
I totally agree, wallycat. I don’t want to see a weak little anorexic OR an obese person on a magazine cover. While the “ideal” is always going to be relative, health and balance should be in the spotlight. The Barbie body is disgusting – like the girls who get plastic surgery to look like their Instagram photos. Our society is such a pendulum of extremes – like eat yourself to death and celebrate your “unique beauty,” or starve yourself and plump up your lips to look like a cartoon. I think it’s all horrific. Circus Society.
Can’t resist…circus society to match our current white house!
Or the Dem circus on display in these hearings for the nominee. The left looks unhinged.
Derg, the Right has been unhinged for a while now. It’s not a Left or Right thing, it’s a basic Stupid thing
Ashlee I am watching a clown show put on by the left. It’s worse than when Reagan took office. What is hilarious is that Trump baits them and they fall for it in spades.
@ Ashlee “it’s a basic Stupid thing” : yes so it’s about the left
Just look at left-wingers tweets to understand
Richard, what we are seeing is the rise of the female incel. Hefty, tatted broads who demand that you find them beautiful.
