Well I'm sure it's not hindering gender stereotypes when Alissa Quart chooses a publication which treats women as objections for fashion, who are desperately insecure about how they keep their man, and what secrets are kept.

I find it funny how she forgets that some of the criticisms of Adria Richards came from women, she phrases it as if the whole negative actions are the sole property of men. Myself I don't find tweeting someone else's conversation, with their photos and identities easily determinable appropriate. Gender and Sex have nothing to do with that.

So you're saying that in keeping with "gender stereotypes" men should be inconsiderate, sexist assholes and women should just shut up and deal with it ?

And for the record trying to equate a fashion/lifestyle magazine with the totality of the female gender is completely and utterly stupid.

Ironically some of the worst discrimination against women in particular pregnant ones is at womens mags.

we're not equating them, the magazine itself is.
