Instead of refunding my money and much to my disgust I have now been given a substitute magazine called "Woman's Day." Woman's Day, or as I like to call it the Diet and Cake magazine, is aimed at the woman in her 30's with two kids plus a husband who may or may not have some sort of brain injury thus rendering him humanly incapable of doing any sort of housework or work with the children. Woman's Day knows you are the SUPER WOMAN!! The woman who is so anal about a clean house she will follow her adult man child around cleaning up the disaster he's (inevitably) left behind. The type of Super Woman who wants to make all other women look up to you and fear you with one look at your god given white, suburban, middle class prowess. You are the queen of your cul-de-sac and Woman's Day is there to make sure you have all the tricks in your bag when it comes to " What's the New Hot Diet" " How To Make A Cake Look Like A Watermelon" or " How not to nag your husband into doing what you want."
It's the most insipid of the insipid. Built around consumerism and vague "family values" it preys on the most moronic of women who are at the same time "dieting" and "feeders". There is a slight " girl power" message but dare not call it "Feminism" cause that would be scary and yucky and "we need our husbands even though we treat them like 35 year old infants." Yes, if the editors of Woman's Day didn't treat you like the simple minded wifey who " has it all" how would they get advertisement dollars to sell you all the gadgets and fuckery foo that is supposed to make you the super, goddess, mother, cook, worker bee?
The articles are kack. "8 Scrumptious Slaw Side Dishes" left me with weeping for humanity and contemplating Nihilism. " The "Husband Whisperer" gives tips like " 1. Always say please and thank you, and touch him when you do ( touch his cock, AM I RIGHT LADIES!?) 2. Lead By Example ( ie. play the victim role) 3. Play the Empathy Card ( Damsel in distress shit) and 4. Reward good behavior-the sexier the better ( hey ladies, mow the lawn = anal!)
Honestly, any man with a sense of dignity should stay far far away from women who partake in Woman's Day. Unless you revel in being treated like another one of your wives burdens, acting like a man child, while getting limp wristed hand jobs from a dead eyed spouse who is busy thinking about those "Scrumptious Slaw " recipes.
