It makes me wonder what in the hell are the standards of magazines these days. There are always these articles trying to brainwash women into thinking they should do this, or they should do that, or else if they don't do this or that, they are deficient in some way.
In the old days, it was the "women's" magazines that were guilty of such rot. Now we have "newsmagazines" with articles written by women are not feminists to begin with extolling the virtues of sadomasochism or "submission" as if it were some "liberating" act rather than it being something kinky or downright perverted.
Of course "submission" is a code word or euphemism in religious circles for subservience.
What kills me is Katie Roiphe is actually the daughter of a well-known feminist from the second wave, Anne Roiphe. It looks like the apple fell far from the tree, and it is full of worms.
I will make sure I do not buy a copy of this article.
This isn't the first time Newsweek has gone off its rocker when it comes to women and lifestyles. Years ago, in 1986, I believe, it printed that now debunked article which claimed never-married women over 40 had a better chance of being knocked off by terrorists than of getting married.
