"You are berating women's mags for telling them how to be but doing the same thing. "
Not even close...
I'm encouraging them to eat/do whatever the fuck they want to...not what anyone else says they should.

In the 70s I bought She magazine regularly. It was great. They had articles from women across the world, a column on sex written by Dr David Devlin that gave actual real advice, really informative pieces. I've never found anything like it since |

I used to think they were a window into the person I was supposed to be and could never be.
Sometimes some of them have use in limited circumstances. But mostly they're just another way to sell us stuff. |

You said eat the cake because being slim doesn't make people confident.
Eating cake makes me fat. Being slimmer gives me confidence and makes me feel better all round. |

But it won't do that for everyone...
I'm simply saying women should be how they are and not be made to feel bad about it. |

You forgot the article showing how much weight a particular celebrity has put on. |

If everyone stopped buying the magazines they'd change what they publish. That won't happen though because low self esteem seeks out things to reinforce that rather than things that promote good self esteem.
In my opinion only we get the magazines we deserve. |

so true.
I dont buy them - the only news I read is my Google feed.
Quite honestly I couldn't give a fuck if Posh Spice has gained 2lbs - but I'll read it if it's in front of me 
Whilst eating cake obviously! |

So do I but a huge change in attitude needs to happen.
Taking fab as a very small sample. If I were to start a thread saying I feel that I'm very attractive and worthy of any man on here you can bet you'd life there would be a lot of comments saying how arrogance isn't attractive, true beauty comes from within , some people are just ugly on the inside , modesty in a woman is a virtue yada yada yada.
However if I started a thread saying I felt unattractive and old immediately I'd be told how gorgeous I am, how any man would be lucky to have me etc etc.
On the our of my league threads only the people with low self esteem are complimented.
My point really is that we as a society celebrate self deprecation and low esteem, actually we reward it with compliments. High self esteem,confidence and self worth is seen as a bad thing,especially in women.
It's no wonder that its a difficult put to climb out of. Society has too much invested in women feeling bad about themselves. |

I think you do from what I've seen. Positive comments, acceptance and truthful compliments go a long way. But for gods sake women, stop basing your worth on whether men want to have sex with you. |

I very much appreciate you saying so. It does matter to me, quite a lot.
And yes. We're worthwhile for all sorts of important reasons: our values, our strength, our compassion, our work. |

That’s true. How many times have I started a thread to say how I happy I am with how I look and seen the venom fly at me like I’m in a snake pit. |

It's a shame it's like that. I think the magazines are a product of that way of thinking not the cause of it. |

If you ever delete your profile again, when you come back just have close up pics like cleavage where you can't tell your body shape. Post a thread saying you have body confidence issues. You will be drowning in compliments. |

Is it a female thing or a British thing in general?
Americans don't seem to suffer from proclaiming their accolades in general.

I don't know enough about other cultures to comment.
I don't think it's solely a female thing because men frequently reward low self esteem with attention and women often use faux deprecation to elicit attention. It's crazy and mixed up. |
