Jane magazine used to be OK. It was almost in the same vein as the original Sassy (RIP) but, you know, for women. Smart women who like a little gossip and fashion and "It Happened to Me" voyeurism once a month. Now, it's just another shitty women's mag, and has been for a while.
This morning, I was at the CVS and espied this Jane headline:
How Classy Girls Have NAUGHTY SEX
Ugh. I don't know, just like nasty sluts do, but, uh... with their pearls on? They extend a formal invitation first, on engraved Crane notecards? And, so, is "naughty sex" inherently unclassy? What does "naughty" even mean? Butt sex? Golden showers? Threesomes? Or just anything that's not some good-ol' cervix-jackhammerin' "normal" sex? WTF???
The article is probably something fairly innocuous, and only tangentially related to this provocative headline, but still. It smacks of a fucking double standard to me (har), and that pisses me off.
I also found this headline on their web site: "Meet Sarah -- the 29-year-old virgin. Click here to watch the video, plus help chose [sic] her next date and read her blog." Insipid, insulting, and with a typo to boot! Fuckingmothersuckinggoddamnpoop!
