I may have issues with feminism...
Sep. 24th, 2008 07:26 pm...but the cover of this week's Newsweek kind of makes me want to eviscerate someone just a little bit.
The design is simple. The cover reads, "What Women Want" in red, feminine handwriting with a tube of red lipstick beneath the words (as though the headline was written with it).
First of all, drop with the fucking cute, Newsweek. Lipstick? Really? Because nothing says "grown-up important things like politics and government are discussed inside!" like a cover that looks like it was designed by Cosmopolitan rejects. (Or seventeen year olds.)
Oh, that must be because all women wear make-up. Make-up is a defining characteristic of femininity, right?
Please.
Freud was a sexist bastard with a motherfucker complex. Also, since women make up 52% of the population; asking what women want is asking what half of the goddamn planet wants. It's fair to say, in fact, that we want most of the same fucking things the other half wants: clean water, sanitation, shelter, food, good health, community and family, etc., etc.
The sexes aren't actually all that different, you fucktards.
