“I noticed that this story was in the “Femail” section [of the “Daily Mail” website]. There’s the homepage, of course, and then there’s “News,” “Sport,” “TV&Showbiz,” “Health,” “Science&Tech,” etc. etc., and then there’s “Femail,” the section targeted at women. It seems to be mostly fashion with some mother-daughter stories of various types. I wish sometime I’d see a magazine (or magazine section) aimed at women that didn’t see “women’s issues” and science/technology/news/sport/etc. as completely different topics.”

—Sociological Images » MORE VINTAGE ADS (SEXIST ONES THIS TIME) Verissimo, ahimé, anche per la maggior parte delle riviste femminili italiane. L’esempio più ovvio è Donna Moderna, basta guardare i titoli delle sezioni: Farmi bella, Cucinare, Sposarmi, I bambini, Le amiche… manca il punto croce. Forse è una questione di target, non so. Su Grazia l’approccio è già diverso.
