Change your attitude change your life and 14 things you don't (want to) know about women where the articles I read and I found that there was a dramatic difference in the themes of the articles. The article change your attitude change your life was geared towards women, it provided women with the insight to look inside themselves as a postivie reenforcement for change. It also used words such as change, powerful, succesful and affirm to give women hope and strength about their futures. I found this article in ebony magazine and although this particular magazine is not directed at women it does have a lot of specific gender oriented articles that provide a positive light on women.
But the article I read in esquire magazine (men mag.) 14 things you don't (want to) know about women from first sight through me for a loop. If you look at the title it seems as if there is a pun after don't (want to) know. As i read this article I found the things the authour said where appalling and sexists. For example question 4 states "most of us have had an abortion or three" or a comment like "we've all turned last night's underwear inside out" I would have thought to be made by a man. But as I read on I found that this particle was written by a women. what a shocker.
I think women magazines aim to impower women (at least some of the time) and to left their spirits while magazines such as esquire or GQ magazine are ment to demoralize and demine women.

Very interesting that a woman wrote that article. I wonder what we can make of that?
