But won’t the replacement eventually hurt just as much?

The readership could be part of the difference. The people who I know who get Men’s Health tend to already be active and, if not already in shape, determined to be in shape as soon as they can.

Yeah, it teaches girls they have something to hide. Which is a shame.

Sorry, partially was in response to

Because the point I am making, again, is that the terms that are being ditched Are not. In themselves. Harmful. To illustrate this, I used the examples of Men’s Health magazines, a direct parallel of Women’s Health magazines to show that the same words are not perceived to be negative there. I wasn’t asking for people…

But by looking at the issue in a vacuum aren’t you risking missing other factors?

Partially. I’m certainly not suggesting that there’s anything wrong with men’s magazines (beyond the photoshopping) or with the approach men take to them.

Yeah, I remember being a kid and me and the other kids at the beach (younger than age 5 or 6) used to happily run around naked and play in the surf. I think that age has been dialled back to about two now before people start to get uncomfortable.

What’s the difference between ‘Bikini Body’ for women and ‘Beach Body’ for men?

Yeah, nor do I. Perhaps I wasn’t being clear as two people have misunderstood so far. I’m saying that this change isn’t any real improvement. Men’s magazines have the same tone and presentation, but no-one has any issues with that.

Oh no, I actually don’t mind it really. The general goals of eating healthier and working out more and more effectively are fine goals to aim for. Even if you can’t make the standard of the cover models, you’ll be in better shape than not trying at all.

The words you use aren’t even tangentially relevant to the problem. Men’s magazines use very similar terms, beach body, flab, fat, toned, lean, diet. IT also has no problem reinforcing that this is the body shape all men should aim for and using derogatory terms for those that aren’t that shape.

Yeah, this is a bigger issue than just one law in one state. There’s a weird gender dichotomy in the whole of society when it comes to nipples. It’s fine to see male nipples but not for female nipples. It applies on beaches, at swimming pools, on the street, in movies, TV, whatever. There’s no (or not as many) sexual…

Starred for Humans reference

Fingers crossed for Culture novels being made into movies, but then many of them are probably unfilmable.

List fails without Heaven Sent.

Yeah, but Heaven Sent’s twist was amazing. Hell, that entire episode was amazing. Best episode in the show’s long and storied history (that includes Blink, haters).

Y’all need more Culture novels in your lives. The protagonists are about evenly split between male/female/drone/ship capable of destroying solar systems.

I’m not saying that an entity that routinely uses all-male or all-white panels isn’t sexist/racist or that a disproportionate number of same isn’t a sign of issues, but taken on a case-by-case basis the individual panels may not be problematic.

Wouldn’t it be even more awesome if contributors were there on the basis of their authority on the subject at hand, which may lead to uneven representation one way or another just as an artifact of clustering in small data sets?
