FOX News recently launched a daily online magazine targeted at women that reads like an annoying Pinterest board full of inane, rhetorical questions and unimportant advice. Some of the top pieces include:
-
He Says You Stink: Perfumes Men Hate
-
Does He Hate Your Make-Up?
-
5 Reasons Why He Dumped You
-
5 Qualities Men Look for in a Wife
-
6 Things Never To Do In Front of Your Man
-
How Men Really Think
-
Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Guide
-
Why Men Are Most Likely to Cheat at Weddings
The fluffy content is reminiscent of the trite information offered on the pages of Cosmo, preying on women’s supposed fears and reinforcing the idea that women’s only thoughts concern how they look and men. Not only is the subject matter of the content weak, but the material itself is lacking. A read of the potentially promising “Dating Tips from ‘The Millionaire Matchmaker’” includes only two sentences of advice at the very bottom of her interview, which are: 1) “Nothing good happens after 11 PM” and 2) “Always leave him wanting more.” Wow, thank you!
Maybe it’s just hard taking FOX News seriously when it comes to any advice for women considering some of its previously sexist journalism. At the very least, FOX gets that women enjoy Pinterest’s image pinboard theme!
For quality advice for women curated from experts and tastemaker peers, check out Vixely’s iPad Magazine as well as Vixely’s best-selling iBook with sex advice for women.
