I agree wholeheartedly with the points that Steinem makes in this article. While I didn't want to read it in its entirety (it was long!), I think that the length was one of the strong points: Steinem is sure to make her point over and over, and she supports it. If not, I'm afraid it may have just sounded like an un-intelligent essay that was whining, "Seeeeriously, women are smart! I promise! Just ... I promise!"
I'm glad she went on.
I believe that we CAN "do better than this," and I hate that magazines that target women perpetuate so many negative stereotypes--both about women physically and mentally. Sure, I may be interested in reading summer smoothie recipes, but make a magazine that challenges my intellect and serves a purpose.
Anyway, that's why I don't read women's magazines. Thanks to Steinem for challenging the industry.
