I am so so SO sick of this notion that girls only like bastard men. Unforunatley it appears to stem from the even worse notion that some men think they have the right to control every aspect of a woman’s life: “oh hey you can’t date him, he’s bad for you, date me instead I’m super nice”. 

Well how’s this for you? NO. Women are free to date whoever they want to, irregardless of how well or badly you think they are going to treat us. We are free to make our own decisions and if needs be, our own mistakes. 

Oh and another thing, sometimes girls are just looking for a bit of fun too, we are not all after a serious relationship and the same goes for men, they’re not all after a bit of fun. These gender expectations are a bloody joke.

If the girls you want to date are going for the “wrong” sort of guys all the time, maybe you should ask yourself this: Is it actually YOU who is going after the wrong type of girls?

I hate this shit. 

Creating a magazine purely for ‘plus size’ (hate the phrase too) women is just like saying that ‘plus size’ women have no place in ‘normal’ magazines.

It completely misses the point. The issue is that magazines as a whole don’t cater to women of all sizes. I can’t imagine that there are many women who will now be happy that they have a ‘plus size’ magazine to read, they want to be able to read the same magazines as everyone, but just to be included and represented within them.

It also promotes the annoying hate that different groups of women have for each other. As someone who is relatively slim (I’m a size 10-12) I really hate all this anti skinny nonsense. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST SKINNY. All this ‘you’re not a real woman unless you have curves’. We’re not all blessed with buxom breasts and bountiful booties; we are all different shapes and sizes, and the sooner we learn to live with that, the happier we will all be.

Magazines need to change. This is not the right way to do it.

End rant.
