K-Lo and Susan, my colleague Jessica Anderson showed me a rather stunning set of feminist articles in Self magazine (although it could be seen as appropriate: save your Self, lose the inconvenient “pregnancy”). MRC did a study of women’s magazines with Consumer Alert years ago that proved how liberal they were on economic and consumer issues. I’m sure a study on social issues would demonstrate a greater tilt.
Even so, some try to pretend the women’s mags are still prim and proper.
