Pocahontas

Magazines We Hate

Article by Lisa Jervis, appeared in issue Premiere; filed under: Social commentary; tagged: Esquire, fantasy, female sexuality, gender roles, magazines, misogyny, Pocahontas, sexualizing, stereotypes.

Esquire’s annual “Women We Love” feature gives with one hand and takes away with the other. Hidden behind the premise of honoring them, the article puts women firmly in their place by using the traditional patriarchal tool of male approval—rewarding certain traits in the female while disparaging others.
