MrsFrozen Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I am disgusted that you included the president of Planned Parenthood in your Women of the Year issue. Are you not aware that you have pro-life readers? Why drag politics into a magazine primarily about fashion and beauty? Because of this, I will never again pick up another Glamour magazine to read, much less pay for one. You think that it's okay to choose who lives and dies, when that is God's right only! For being so "pro-woman," you forget that half of these babies that are being aborted are females. Imagine what these girls could accomplish if they were given a chance to live. Maybe you're not aware of what happens during an abortion. Please visit http://www.pregnancycenters.org/abortion.html for information. I suppose it's "trendy" to be pro-choice. Well, I believe the woman should have a choice, too. If she doesn't want a baby, she should choose to keep her legs closed! I was appalled when I saw that Glamour magazine honored the president of Planned Parenthood as one of their Woman of the Year. This was the last issue of a year-old subscription that I wasn't going to renew anyway (I have changed a lot in the last year--for the better!). This made me even happier to be rid of it. They are pro-abortion, pro-contraceptive, feminist, and tend to objectify women. I encourage you to go to http://us.glamour.com/contact/ and click on "You Said It" to write in a complaint. You never know, your letter may actually turn someone pro-life! Does anyone know of a Christian magazine for young women? If not, I just may look into starting one! God bless..
immaculata Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!! Thank you for standing up for all the impressionable young girls out there. :cheer:
Sojourner Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I've happened upon an interesting group, Feminists for Life, that has some really attractive viewpoints for someone who's both interested in a comprehensively pro-life position and in supporting women. I've not signed on the dotted line yet, but I'm definitely investigating.
MrsFrozen Posted January 9, 2004 Author Posted January 9, 2004 I've happened upon an interesting group, Feminists for Life, that has some really attractive viewpoints for someone who's both interested in a comprehensively pro-life position and in supporting women. I've not signed on the dotted line yet, but I'm definitely investigating. Hi, Sojourner.. I just spent a little while at this website, and from what I have seen so far, I like it very much. These woman are what feminists should be--proud to be women, proud to be wives and mothers, proud to be good at their careers, helping the abused, and above all, pro-life. They're not trying to be men, they are the women God made them to be. I am going to continue looking at this site. Thank you for showing it to me. Here's an excerpt from an article on it I just read. If we refused to choose, if we insisted on keeping both our lives and our bodies intact, what changes would our community have to make? What would make abortion unnecessary? Flexible school situations, freedom from stigma, fairness in hiring, more flex-time, part-time, and home-commute jobs, better access to prenatal and obstetric care, attractive adoption opportunities, a whole garden of safe family planning choices, support in learning how to handle our sex lives responsibly, and help with child care and parenting when we choose to keep our babies: this is a partial list. Yet these changes will never come as long as we're lying down on abortion tables 1,600,000 times a year to ensure the status quo. We've adapted to this surgical substitute, to the point that Justice Blackmun could write in his Webster dissent, "Millions of women have ordered their lives around" abortion. That we have willingly ordered our lives around a denigrating surgical procedure--accepted it as the price we must pay to keep our life plans intact--is an ominous sign. It's a great article, very powerful. Here's the link if anyone cares to read it: http://www.feministsforlife.org/FFL_topics...er/pricchoc.htm Thank you again! God bless.. :)
Lil Red Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I, too, am disgusted with a lot of fashion magazines out there. I used to get Glamour, then stopped agreeing with their politics they infuse into every page. I get the fashion mag "Lucky" now, and while they don't really have politics involved, it's more of a "This is what's fashionable, and here's where to buy it". I like it a lot better and it's not all expensive stuff, it lets you know where you can buy it cheaper. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

I have heard of it, but I haven't read it or anything. I think it's fun to look at fashion magazines sometimes, but I hate the stupid politics involved. I used to have a subscription to Cosmo, too, and ditched that one as well when I realized it was nothing but feminist garbage and half-naked men and women. I think I am going to search and see if I can find a Christian-based magazine that has fashion and stuff for women. God bless. :)

Mrs. - there's not much to read in Lucky, just where to buy stuff and what's fashionable. Which is great, cuz I don't get fashion mags for their political commentary. The problem I find with Christian fashion mags is that they're really not about what's fahionable now, or how to "tone" down what's fashionable now into something I can actually wear - not those teeny-tiny skirts that just barely cover your butt cheeks that some fashion mags are showing!
Lil Red Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 If you find a Christian mag, though, Mrs. let me know! :)
MrsFrozen Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 Hi, Lil.. Thanks, I will let you know. I know that you mean about the clothes that are fashionable for today. My style is pretty basic, but I consider it to be stylish. I don't wear any of the crazy stuff on runways or anything! :lol:
FX2 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 glamor and cosmo never did really appeal to me. But maybe thats cus ima guy. :D oh well its still trash

the_rev Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 "Bump" Great for speaking out for us pro life people keep it up!
hopeful1 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 i know how you guys feel, i used to get mags like seventeen and that kind of stuff, not so much for the fashion ( i have my own style like Mrs. Frozen, simple, comfortable, and stylish and can be worn in almost any season-but on the other hand, it's FL ), but for advice columns and stories and stuff. however after about my soph or jr yr i just found the stuff to be too superficial and the articles were barely worth wasting money on. plus it was also a time i was getting more into the faith and i was tired of seeing the feminist trash and Planned Parenthood carp it was filled with every month. besides i try not to give them anymore money to them than what the gov forces me to give them every year. I just couldn't relate to them anymore eventually stopped subscribing to them by my sr yr. i almost thought about about writing them a letter why too. but props to you Mrs. Frozen for standing up for your beliefs! :cheer:
PatrickRitaMichael Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I think Instyle is the only fashion magazine I look at nowadays -- it's only fashion and beauty (which sometimes I get frustrated about b/c it seems like it's just one big ad) but if that's what you want, then I would recommend that. It's hard to find a magazine for women these days that isn't like, have sex, use men, expose your body and waste all your money on makeup, etc. Do I sound bitter? I have read so many women's magazines in my life that now, I don't even have to open them up but can tell you what's in it just from the cover (I'm an "expert") and most of it is 'how you can change yourself in order to get a man and then do all the things he wants in order to please him in bed before he dumps you even though you are a feminist.' Puh-leeeeze! Even mags like Self are stupid b/c they pretend to be about health and stuff but then they tell women that condoms protect against HPV and that childbirth is dangerous so women should have abortions! I'm going off on a tangent here... someone stop me!!! :wacko:
geetarplayer Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Is anyone else offended by that contraceptive patch commercial? It's like, "Now you don't have to worry about taking the pill. Just put on the patch and you don't have to worry!" -Mark
frozencell Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 First of all, don't let MrsFrozen fool ya about the runway clothes! She has one of those peacock dresses with the oversized hat and see-through train she wears around the house all of the time!!!!! :D :D :D I love you, baby! Secondly, Is anyone else offended by that contraceptive patch commercial? It's like, "Now you don't have to worry about taking the pill. Just put on the patch and you don't have to worry!" Yes I am. But that's just the overt theme. Did the lady have to be wearing see-through panties on the commercial, either?! I never thought I'd see it, but they're actually using sex to sell.....well, sex. How disgusting. Also, commercials I've seen on MTV have really bothered me, too. Like the naked guy running to his room (full back-al nudity) in a Trojan commercial. And who's stupid enough to think that they're going to have the wildest carnal night of their lives by cracking open a thing of Uncle Ben's rice or a pack of Dentyne?! The list never ends and it makes me so angry!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:
