Walmart Might Have the Right Idea

Cosmopolitan probably should have been pulled from checkout counters back when the late Helen Gurley Brown ran the magazine, but it has gotten progressively worse over the decades.  The hypersexualization of women has always been a problem in general, but pornography has made it many, many times worse.

I am sure some will bitch about "censorship," and they will call Walmart's move capitulation to "prudery,"  but the trend is going to be more and more against this because male and female relationships have been damaged with the rise of porn culture.

The magazine that made its name with provocative covers will no longer be found in Walmart on sale at the checkout lines, a move that the company is calling a "business decision" but which one advocacy group is touting as a victory against sexual exploitation.

Cosmopolitan, owned by Hearst Communications, describes itself as a "bible for fun, fearless females that reaches more than 18 million readers a month." In its early days, it made a splash with its provocative covers and sex advice for readers. It has been critiqued for marrying its racier content with young starlets on its covers.
