but I'd hate to be a modern woman.
See, I have an affinity for men's magazines.
Yes, it's embarrassing sometimes when the cute guy next to me looks at me weird because I took the last copy of Details, (Of course, I immediately offer to share!) but I do have reasons for choosing Esquire over Elle.
Let me explain.
This month in GQ: The comedy issue!
(Featuring a nude and superwaxed
Sacha Baron Cohen. )
I'm always blown away by GQ's range of content - from styling tips for the fashion conscious lads, to political stories with brilliant angles (ie: Levi Johnston), and even a few of international value (something about Africans this month), all written with brilliant diction and biting hilarity. "Zis season’s vardrobe essential, thanks to Madonna und me, is ze 'Little Black Child'," Baron Cohen declares in the issue.

Funny, cheeky, self-deprecating.
This month in Cosmopolitan: 100 sex questions!
(Featuring Lauren Conrad in a bra 1000 sizes too small.)
Among the cover stories are "Virgins in Cosmo! (We never thought this day would come)", and "4 Signs He's Craving You". There's also a story about cutting down on calories and getting ahead at the workplace. And briefly, I mention the paucity of words over 3 syllables - "orgasm" doesn't count. Enough said.
How is it that GQ can feature Levi Johnston in a credible, entertaining way, but Cosmopolitan needs to feature women that haven't put out yet to maintain the attention of its readers?
The thing is, I do want women to succeed.
Then I look at Cosmo and the mini-skirted 15-year-old reading it, and I know why women aren't taken seriously.
I'm all for women pushing for a voice, breaking into the male-dominated ranks of the worldwide hierarchy, becoming the true equals of men.
But first, I think we need to grow some balls.
