They may be called “women’s magazines,” but many of us started flipping through those glossy pages when we were kids and teens.
The messages we got were often ... questionable.
From medical fearmongering to fashion advice that never quite panned out, these magazines offer a lot of fodder for commentary.
Many of the funny folk on Twitter do just that. We’ve rounded up 25 funny and relatable tweets about women’s magazines

Do men's magazines use the word "pout" to mean "mouth" as frequently as ladies' magazines do? (I'm guessing the answer is absolutely.)

As I get ready for my 12-8 work shift today, it occurs to me that women’s magazines really convinced me that “going from day to night” was going to be a big part of my adult life. But so far it has not come up.

Women’s magazines keep bombarding me with tutorials on how to straighten my hair so I can “make men fall in love”; yet I can’t find *one single tutorial* on how to turn my hair into snakes so I can petrify all flirty men and have the time and headspace to finish my novel.

Yesterday someone asked me why men’s magazines like GQ and Esquire have such consistently excellent food and restaurant coverage and women’s magazines fully don’t and I didn’t even know where to begin to begin

ever since i first read a women’s magazine in my tweens...i’ve been trying, striving, toiling (even) to pair a flirty slip dress with combat boots-at night i lie awake tossing/ turning ...my mind unravels- the juxtaposition of the elements? i’m left slackjawed at the question ...

So sick of the "Who wore it best?" feature in women's magazines. Stop pitting us against each other! If you didn't put it on backwards & your tit didn't pop out, you wore it just fine.

I feel like the answer to every how-to beauty article in a women's magazine is "have a lot of money."

Women’s magazines really made me think that men liked it when women called them on their shit and wow that has not been the case.

Something I don't think men always realize is how many women grew up on a diet of "emergency tips" in women's magazines and elsewhere—the "emergency" being that you might look unprofessional, messy, or otherwise unacceptable. We can McGyver the shit out of things. https://t.co/UtLlg03BNM

How long until a women's magazine asks Malala Yousafzai how she stays in shape?

I’m so sorry but being on magazine covers has not mattered since American Girl magazine was discontinued

I’ll subscribe to any women’s magazine that tells me I’m already drinking enough water.

Well I for one am shocked that women's magazines are not living up to their usual jobs of boosting women's self-esteem & reflecting reality.

Best way to send urself back to that dark place: attempt making a vision board using only women's magazines to collage.

Women’s magazines wanna talk about “dress for your body type” but never include mine, which is thick spaghetti noodle. Where are the clothes for girls with similar proportions to udon?? Anyway, I’m mad.

One of my faaaaaavourite women’s magazine tutorials is when they show you a 15-step guide to doing a “messy bun” like ok thanks Anna Wintour, actually my hair looks like this because of capitalism and low-grade depression not a hot roller

I don't subscribe to many magazines, but if they came out with "Good Enough Housekeeping," that's one I would read.

People complain about how magazine like Vogue foster unrealistic ideals for women but my main complaint is it's TOO HEAVY!!!

Women's magazines throw around the term "cool girl" style like this is something we all know but I have no idea what they're talking about.
