15 Women’s Magazines That Don’t Suck, Are Awesome

via itrainthereforeieat.wordpress.com

When lamenting the lack of females honored by this year’s major National Magazine Awards, we got into a conversation about the dearth of quality women’s (print) magazines out there. As a Professor of Magazineology, I thought it’d be worth everybody’s time to discuss which women’s magazines are actually worth your time!

Considering that I’m gay, have no interest in celebrity interviews (unless they’re gay) and “fashion” is a thing other people give me advice on but never something I feel confident approaching on my own, you’d think I have little need for lady mags. You would be wrong. Let me tell you a story: Once upon a time in college, I was studying for my Hebrew final with a “pre-veterinarian” friend (studying for his Orgo final) in Barnes & Noble when I mourned my inability to get anything done at Barnes & Noble due to the café’s proximity to the magazine racks. I’d constantly get up and “borrow” new magazines and read them instead of studying. I could do this for hours and hours. “Is that weird?” I asked my friend.

“No,” my animal-loving friend responded. “It would be like if I was trying to study at a pet store surrounded by puppies.”

You follow? I bet you do. Let’s begin! Share your favorites in the comments!


15 Good magazines for women

[in no particular order, except for #1, which is #1 because it’s #1]


+

15. make/shift

“feminism in motion”

[website]

 independently owned

editors: Jessica Hoffman & Daria Yudacufski

single issue: $6.95 US, $8.95 Canada
subscribe: $25 US, $30 Canada // four issues

The Los Angeles based feminist magazine is constructed by “an editorial collective committed to anarchist, transnational, and queer perspectives” which “embrace the multiple shifting identities of feminist communities.” With journalism, analysis, art and essays by progressive writers and thinkers like Jack Halberstam and Jessica Hoffman, make/Shift is on the cutting edge of intersectional issues and radical grassroots activism with a distinctly literary voice.



14. Curve

“the best-selling lesbian magazine”

[website]
owned by Avalon Media

editor-in-chief – Merryn Johns

single issue: $4.95
subscribe: $39.95 // 10 issues

A few years back, when Curve was still running a seemingly endless series of L Word related covers and then put Pam Grier on the cover without actually interviewing or photographing her, I felt my enthusiasm for the magazine waning. But the magazine got infinitely better when The L Word ended, and is now effortlessly snagging major cover stars like Uh Huh Her, Tegan & Sara, Glenn Close, Jane Lynch , Ruby Rose, Shay Mitchell and Chely Wright. The slim magazine tries to do it all for lesbians — it’s amped up its fashion coverage by doing more original shoots as well as doing monthly bits on women’s health, wedding planning, travel, politics and profiles of up-and-coming activists and entrepreneurs.


13. MSLEXIA (UK)

“for women who write”

[website]

independently owned

editorial director: Debbie Taylor

single issue: £8.95
subscribe: £20.75 // four issues

I’ve been reading writer-focused magazines like Poets & Writers and Writer’s Digest since I was a teenager, but never did I dream that somebody out there across the pond was creating a writer-focused magazine that did all the things those magazines do, but specifically for women!

Since 1999, British magazine mslexia has been honoring “women who write” with a “unique mix of debate and analysis, advice and inspiration; news, reviews, interviews; competitions, events, courses, grants. All served up with a challenging selection of new poetry and prose.”


+

12. GO

“The cultural road map for city girls everywhere.”

[website]

independently owned

editor-in-chief: Amy M. Lesser // exec editor: Kat Long

single issue: free [where to find go]

GO Magazine has been the #1 source for lesbian nightlife and entertainment in the New York City area for about a decade, and is now distributed nation-wide. Fanatics may notice that with the exception of Barack Obama and trans icon Topher Gross, almost every GO! cover star is a queer lady and more often than not, the cover is plastered with photos of people like you and me: like the adorable lesbians of the annual Captivating Couples feature and the yearly “Red Hot Entrepreneurs” making an impact in the lesbian community. It’s at once glossy and local, with heaps of travel stuff and a serious repository of event photographs. It’s also the only place where I’d show up on the same list of “Women We Love” as Ellen DeGeneres.


+

11. Lula (UK)

“girl of my dreams”

[website]

editor: Leith Clark

single issue: $15.99 US
subscription: £27 UK // 2 issues

“When you open a Lula everyone’s a girl and everyone likes each other. I felt that fashion magazines are about women looking at women, but there seems to be this imaginary man in the room. It’s so sexualized. I don’t fully get that. I made a magazine of women looking at women, without that competitiveness and that hard edge that we think we need as we get older.”

– editor Leigh Clark

Lula is a gigantic super-heavy epically expensive (in the US) British magazine that comes out a few times a year and is (justifiably) worshipped by its followers. The photography is gorgeous, the design is engaging, the style is innovative and it lives up to its descriptor as “gentle, whimsical and ethereal in tone, mixing high fashion to fall in love with and interviews that feel like late night chats with people you wish you knew.”

It’s sort of like We Heart It meets Rookie meets Nylon meets BOMB. Sometimes you’ll find stretches of pages filled with original drawings and collages, sometimes you’ll find Carrie Brownstein interviewing Miranda July, and you’ll always find tons of wispy girls with dramatic faces wearing expensive clothing. Definitely not for everybody, but its cost is somewhat justified by the fact that it’s basically an art/fashion book — one does not recycle Lula, one keeps it forever.

10. women’s health

“it’s good to be you.”

[website]

owned by Rodale, Inc.

editor-in-chief: Michele Promaulayko

single issue: $4.99
subscribe: $15.99 // 10 issues

If you’ve just gotta read a mainstream women’s fitness magazine, try Women’s Health. Though its quality has degenerated somewhat since its release (seriously for the first year or so, I was stunned by how consistently GOOD this magazine was), in general Women’s Health is surprisingly non-terrible, despite the excessively airbrushed cover models, occasionally transparent product-pushing and traditional obsession with “slimming down,” getting “flat abs” and having better sex tonight.

Its smartly-toned features are often topical and relatable and its fitness and nutrition advice occasionally more fresh and relevant than its newsstand buddies. Although it’s not readily apparent from studying cover archives; unlike Shape and Fitness, which got repetitive after a year or two, Women’s Health usually manages to find new stories to tackle. That being said, it’s been a while since I’ve read it regularly, and recent covers have disappointed me. Still, I’d prefer it over other women’s health/fitness magazines — anddddd….

Speaking of other women’s fitness magazines, here’s how I feel about them:

Shape has gotten way slick/shiny, and hella repetitive, with non-athletic cover girls who seem to work out exclusively at the beach and in shimmery ponds.

Fitness seems focused on women with children who live in houses with cars and have real jobs, which is to say — not me.

Self is okay, but there’s way too much self-help crap in there, pages upon pages of babble about how to be happier in 8 steps or something or sleep stress-free in five minutes a night. Just tell me how to get hot inner thigh muscles, mmk?


+

8. tom-tom magazine

“a magazine for female drummers”

[website]

independently owned

single issue: $6
subscribe: $29 // four issues

Admittedly I’ve never read this one myself — although I am apparently female, I’m not musically inclined and therefore not particularly interested in female drummers. HOWEVER, if you ARE interested in female drummers then this magazine will make your life 100 times better than it already is. (Also, it’s my life goal to see Alex Vega on the cover by next year.) Autostraddle writer M.J. wrote enthusiastically about the magazine in late 2010, saying “Tom Tom Magazine is all about female drummers! So if you like drums, girls, or girls who drum, check it out. It’s gorgeously designed and full of thoughtful interviews with both big names and up-and-comers that you want to know about: Heather Hall and Janet Weiss, for example. Tom Tom also throws awesome parties in NYC, offers reviews of music, art, and fashion, and is super positive about the queer community.”


+

7. DIVA (UK)

[website]

owned by gay & lesbian media company Millivres Prowler LTD

editor-in-chief: Jane Czyzselska

single issue: £3.65 UK/$6.99 US
subscribe: £36 UK

The first issue of DIVA was published in 1994, if you can believe it, and it remains the only monthly glossy newsstand magazine for lesbians in the UK (possibly in the world, now that I think about it). A bit edgier than its stateside counterparts, DIVA is one of those magazines that makes being a lesbian seem super-cool and sexy — from its annual “Naked Issue” to its annual “Sex Issue” to cover stars like Jane Lynch, Heather Peace, the Coronation Street girls and Leisha Hailey.

Recent issues feature stories about trans writer & publisher Paris Lees, “Lesbians Who Love Musicals,” smashing the “Lesbian Glass Ceiling,” Lesbian Misogynists, Sheffield’s gay scene, Glasgow’s Queercore night, Margaret Cho, Bisexuality for Beginners, Judy Chicago and naked lesbians.


6. BUST

“For women with something to get off their chests.”

[website]

independently owned

editor-in-chief: Debbie Stoller

single issue: $4.99
subscribe: $19.95 // six issues

BUST’s focus on DIY and independent musicians/writers/artists has made a major impact on girl culture and the lady-mag world. Straight out of the gate, BUST was all about the crafting and other nerdy pursuits (feature articles are often about things like HISTORY!) and hosts super-fun BUST Craftaculars (I went to one in Brooklyn, it was awesome). BUST readers are smart, independent, pro-active women who like celebrities, makeup and clothing as well as political activism and books.

The almost-monthly magazine chooses its cover models/interviewees carefully, sticking to women who have something to say, like Beth Ditto, Mindy Kahling, Amy Poehler, Diablo Cody, Amy Sedaris, Eve and Portia De Rossi. The recent “Earth Issue” offered 51 Ways to Go Green Without Growing Broke, a feature on “how ladies are leading the eco-revolution” and “Urban Farming Made Easy.”

Its “BUST DIY Guide to Life” and “BUST Guide to the New Girl Order” stand proudly on my bookshelf. Also — bonus! — BUST consistently includes not-skinny models in its palatable fashion spreads.

It’d be slightly better if they hired me to write a column for them about queer issues though, just saying.


5. the gentlewoman (UK)

“fabulous women’s magazine”

[website]

single issue: £5.00 UK, $10.95 US
subscribe: £16 UK, $33 US // 2 issues

‘the gentlewoman’ photos via buyolympia.com

So this one time (last week) I was at fitforafemme‘s house and I saw this magazine on a coffee table and I thought “what is this lovely lovely thing?!” Well, it’s Gentlewoman Magazine. It feels so nice on the outside, like a real book, and the inside is pretty bangin’, too – full of “ambitious journalism and photography of the highest quality.” Recent issues have included pieces on or by Adele, Yoko Ono, The Magnetic Fields, Jenny Holzer and Tilda Swinton. It’s classy without being stuffy and approaches fashion with an “intelligent perspective” that is “focused on personal style – the way women actually look, think and dress.”


+

4. Shameless (CA)

“your regular dose of fresh feminism for girls and trans youth.”

[website]

independently owned by Shameless Media

editor: Sheila Sampath

single issue: $6.99
subscribe: $15 CA, $25 US // three issues

This Canadian magazine advertises itself as “an independent Canadian voice for smart, strong, sassy young women and trans youth.” If you like this website, I think you’d like this magazine — it takes the reader seriously, approaches media and mass culture with a fun yet critical eye, and (intentionally or not) aims to cultivate the reader’s desire to engage in political, social justice and anti-oppression activism. Honestly it’s so good I can’t believe it even exists. Also, it’s rad that they decided to expand their target audience to explicitly include trans youth as well. If you have a daughter over the age of 12, you should get her a subscription to this magazine ASAP, and maybe one for yourself too.


+

3. Frankie (AU)

“art * music * fashion * craft * life”

[website]

owned by “unique and progressive” Australian magazine publishing company Morrison Media

editor: Jo Walker

single issue: $9.50 AU
subscription: $57 AU or $115 US // six issues

When my friend Crystal visits The States from Australia I ask her to bring me Australian magazines and two years back she brought me Frankie. I was surprised by how sophisticated, fun and cool-looking it was.

Frankie started when friends Louise Bannister and Lara Burke decided that nothing on the newsstand suited their fancy and they thought they could do it better themselves, molding a mag that “spoke directly to the reader, contained great affordable fashion, sweet art, interesting reads and pretty photography.”

That being said, the relentlessly skinny models and twee aesthetic can be a bit 0ff-putting in the same way more mainstream women’s magazines are. But I’d prefer it to any similar American magazines. It reminds me of when I liked NYLON.


+

2. Ms.

“more than a magazine – a movement”

[website]

independently owned by non-profit organization Feminist Majority Foundation

editor: Katherine Spillar

single issue: $5.95
subscribe: $25 // 4 issues

Ms. changed the world. When the Gloria Steinem-led magazine debuted in the early 70’s, it became a point of contact and a conversation launcher for an emerging wave of feminists committed to political progress in a rapidly-shifting cultural climate. Its first issue sold out its 300,000 print run in eight days. That’s how hungry American women were for something that spoke about real life issues, like wage inequity, sexual harassment, second shifting and abortion; rather than another glossy of makeup advice.

Ms. has had quite a few bumps in the road and has been subject to a lot of dissent, particularly for its initial focus on middle-class white-lady problems. But it continues to grow/change and plugs on (despite its failure to put us on their blogroll after like 56 requests!), featuring work by writers like Amy Bloom, Alice Walker, Angela Davis and Barbara Ehrenreich.

New York Magazine, which initially published Ms. as an insert into its magazine, recently ran an Oral History of Ms. You should read it.


1. Bitch

“feminist response to pop culture.”

[website]

independently owned by Bitch Media, a 501(c)3 non-profit

editorial director: Andi Zeisler

single issue: $5.95
subscribe: $24.95
become a bee-hive member: $5/month

Portland-based feminist magazine Bitch is absolutely my favorite lady-focused magazine of all time.  It’s smart, dorky, funny, educational and somehow also friendly. Consistently inventive and always-evolving, this non-profit publication is in fact partially responsible for my ability to write critically about pop culture through a queer and/or feminist lens — an ability which helped me build this here website. It’s the next-best thing to double majoring in Women’s Studies and Sociology.

Every issue has a theme which dominates its long-form pieces — like Labor & Love, Insider/Oustider, Confidential, Make-Believe, Style & Substance and Puberty. For example, the “WIRED” issue included articles on bunk science reporting, racism and sexism in Second Life and “the evolution of the artificial woman.” Front-of-book bits include Love It/Shove It (pieces for or against a specific show/website/campaign/concept/musician/movie/genre/trend) and columns which tackle questions like “Who made Taylor Swift the sex police?” and “What’s missing in the rhetoric of political cartoons?”

Bitch’s online presence is pretty rad too, with amazing guest columnists including at least one queer-centric thematic column per month (this month it’s Carrie Nelson talking about Bi Invisibility).

Also, paying for membership in the “b club” — which includes subscriptions as a member benefit — is tax-deductable ’cause it’s a non-profit. I think last year I accidentally joined twice, so. So what’s your excuse now, weirdo?

  1. i’m super proud to be a b-hive member; i get so excited to see a new issue of bitch in my mailbox every month! i appreciate this list because i’ve been looking for more magazines to subscribe to lately.

  2. Herstoria is super cool too! Tt’s a magazine about women’s history, though I don’t encounter it often because it’s expensive and UK based.

    • also I want so many of these magazines now, even though I know it would eventually turn into some sort of terrible magazine hoarding situation.

      • Ditto. I am now envisioning my future death by piles of collapsed Bitch magazines. This is why I recycle Diva after reading.

  3. I’m so glad to see Bitch mag at the no. 1 spot. I love it to pieces. I definitely will check out some of the others on this list. I also think that Worn Fashion Journal is a great magazine for people who are really into personal style. They’re a very small publication from Canada. You’re more likely to find articles about history, politics, and art (in relation to fashion) than writing on trends. The topics (and models) are the most diverse I’ve ever seen in a magazine ever. In the most recent issue, they talk about the role clothing plays in the lives of butch/genderqueer/transmen people. It was cool.

  4. I’ve read most of these at one time or another. I really like Bitch magazine. It’s better than Bust magazine imo. I prefer the writing. I like Curve mag when it comes to lesbian mags. Cherrie (Australian mag) isn’t too bad. Same with LOTL (or has that one merged?)
    My goodness, what a sexy picture that is on the cover of GO magazine. Perfectly captures a young couple and they aren’t even embracing.

    Concerning women’s magazines like Cosmo, comedian Adam Hills says it best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-o3go0Fl-w

    • i may be wrong on this but it looks like lindsay lohan and sam ronson. i thought they were suuper cute together but not meant to be.

    • Cherrie and LOTL are separate – the company that does LOTL also does Curve.

      And heh, there was some discussion last year or so about Frankie being all White Thin Twee, that they’re just doing the same thing other women’s mags do (in terms of lack of diversity) with a hipster veneer. Glad to see you picked up on it too. It’s really an issue with the larger hipster culture here, not just Frankie.

      Grazia is a typical mainstream fashion mag but they’re surprisingly open to diversity – I got interviewed for an article, double spread, and they photographed ME for it rather than relying on a stock photo! Considering that I am a average-heading-plus-size brown chick that would NEVER be considered magazine fodder (not even by Frankie *tear*) I thought this was pretty amazing.

      Also I just got a sub to MakeShift. WANT ALL THE BACK COPIES.

  5. Ah, I love Bitch! I used to have a subscription and I totally looked forward to getting it in the mail. but then I had to cancel because I moved abroad and it was too expensive to get it shipped here. I had no idea they had so much content online, though! Score!
    When I was a little kid my mom, who is awesome, got me and my sister a subscription to New Moon magazine. Did anyone else get that? I remember it as a really earnestly feminist magazine for girls… kind of like Bitch for girls under 12.

  6. Awesome feature. I feel inspired to go and grab a basket full of magazines. Though I have to say I used to get a lot more back when Borders still existed (sob!). I know the makers get more money when you subscribe, but I’m a) UK-based and b) financially commitment phobic :-/

    • Aw, Borders. I miss them too! I just want to scream “whyyyyyyyy!” into the cold uncaring heavens now.

      Or maybe that’s a bit melodramatic for Friday morning.

  7. Great list. I really really love Tom Tom magazine. It’s the only one I currently subscribe to.

  8. There’s gotta be some kind of package discount for subscribing to all of these, right? …

  9. Love that bit under The Gentlewoman about it approaching fashion with intelligent perspective and a focus on personal style. I complain all the time about how there are so many mags for men that do that–GQ, Esquire, etc. Some women’s mags make me feel like I can have three looks: day, evening, and summer. Never mind that growing up black you can’t find more than one damn hair idea per magazine that might be useful for you. Ok, I’m ranting…

  10. I read my first issue of Bitch magazine like a week ago, it was so smart and funny and feministastic.
    I want to subscribe now for reals.

    • cuz it’s a website! this is about print magazines on paper. if i was ranking online magazines, obviously we’d be #1, not to mention rookie (which i actually mentioned n this post and like) and like 5 bajillion other awesome online magazines. it’s print that’s scarce, not the internet. there is endless internet and so many good ones. that’d be a totallllllllly different post and a totally different conversation. however usweekly.com would not be on that list either

  11. i’m adding at least 5 of these to my list. subscribing to magazines is like having christmas every month.

  12. female drummers are hot.

    signed,
    female drummer who scours youtube for videos of other female drummers

  13. LOVE me some Lula, so happy to see it mentioned! Also, just want to highlight Got a Girl Crush- it’s a small newcomer that interviews some lovely ladies about the inspiring things they are working on…

    http://www.gotagirlcrush.com/

  14. This is a beautiful gift that you’ve given me. Also, I feel very proud of the UK maybe, a lot of these seem to be from here.

    • i’ve always liked the standard mainstream women’s magazines in the UK and Australia way better than america’s… also when i was a kid and we were in the UK or Australia I wanted to EAT their teen magazines, they were so much more honest than what we had in the states.

      • I feel like the UK does a lot of things more honestly than America. I don’t know much about how Australia does things though.

  15. The only magazines I subscribe to are Civil Engineering and National Geographic (cause I’m a big ol’ enginerd). But I have been wanting to subscribe to Bitch for a while now. Thanks, Riese, for the link, as I am now a B-hive member!

  16. ahhh, gomag. true story, the last issue of go featured a truly horrible picture of myself awkwardly third-wheeling my bff and her girlfriend at henrietta hudson’s on new year’s eve. so literally: featuring people like you. it could be you!

  17. Love Bitch and Bust! And now I have to get my hands on Diva because, really, Sue Perkins + bow tie + unbuttoned shirt? Yes. Please.

  18. Bitch and Bust are my favorite magazines. I have a document saved to my computer called thingsthatiwantthatcostmoney.txt and subscriptions to Bitch and Bust are both on there.

    Although it’s not a women’s magazine, I’m also a big fan of Yes!

  19. ‘When I was a girl…’ the choices for independent women were Ms. or Cosmo. Yaaah for change!

  20. As one of your UK readers, I can tell you that DIVA really doesn’t belong on this list.. it’s stale, full of cliches and nowhere near as sexy or cool as you make it out to be. Really really. Widely dismissed by lezzies over here as being thoroughly terrible.

    • Hmm, that’s interesting — I feel like probably a lot of Americans might say the same thing about Curve were this a list written in the UK, we always tend to have stronger mixed feelings about our country’s lez pubs than we do about those overseas.

      That being said, I personally honestly do like it, for real! I honestly do read it almost every month and I referenced the ten issues I have in my apartment to write this piece, not any second-hand information or something i read on the internet. Maybe the magazine grass is always greener on the other side…

    • As another UK lady, I must say that although Diva can be a bit clichéd and repetitive, I still enjoy reading it and I think they are getting better. Sometimes it is rather like lesbian Cosmo (and to be honest sometimes I want lesbian Cosmo, my life is a bit serious sometimes and trashy reading material is therapeutic!) but they do have some good articles as well. This month there was one on asexuality and another on the media representation and abuse of trans* people. It’s not so tired.

      I feel I have to stick up for it because it was my one tie to sanity while I was still stuck in the closet last year!

  21. I had never seen Frankie until I studied abroad in New Zealand and traveled around Australia. It’s expensive, even there, but it is AWESOME. Awkward and super indie, it’s a great fit for the hipster among us.

  22. “Bitch’s online presence is pretty rad too, with amazing guest columnists including at least one queer-centric thematic column per month”
    uh. how do you figure that? i’ve read that site since it launched, they have at least 20 guest columns each year now & i only know of 3 queer-centric ones EVER.

  23. This post is the best and worst thing that’s ever happened to me. Now I’m going to break the bank on more magazine subscriptions.

  24. Magazines! I recently subscribed to the Economist and Leurzer’s Archive (student subscriptions are cheap), but now I want all of these! I know a lot of people involved with TOM TOM and they’re all wonderful. So much heart.

  25. GIMME GIMME! Oh,how I needed this when I was a teen and all my classmates were gossiping over Seventeen Magazine and that jazz and I had no interest…

    Great article. Too bad I can’t afford this.

  26. Dumbo Feather’s pretty good if you’re into human interest stories – each issue has 5 long-form interviews with interesting people. It can get into White Saviour territory from time to time, but most of the content’s pretty nifty.

  27. Bitch is *awful* now. They’ve had some massive controversies over the last couple years, like “male feminists” demanding a voice. Ignoring requests from YA authors to remove their books from reading lists. A totally ill informed writer talking about birth control… Just dreadful.

  28. Oh man. We are so flattered to be part of this list. You just made our day. Our week. Our month. <3

  29. ‘Yen’ magazine in australia is definately more down to earth and less hipster than frankie magazine. worth a read.

  30. Really cool to lay it all out for us like that. I’ve been looking for some good magazines that would spark my interest. I am now going to subscribe to Bitch because I’ve only heard good things about it and for the amazing fact that you posted this line, “It’s the next-best thing to double majoring in Women’s Studies and Sociology. Because those are the exact 2 degrees that I just graduated with :)

  31. from the Netherlands, I would absolutely recommend Girls Like Us. its a no-cliche lesbian/feminist magazine with great interviews, beautiful inside-outside.

  32. Ah this list is super cool. I had no idea there were than many options for magazines that don’t give me insidious self-consciousness problems.

    Is there a list like this for other parts of the world? One of the ones I really love is from the UK: Libertine (http://interestedwomen.com). They’re doing the Esquire thing, with tons of different topics and lots of things that are interesting to read… Very little fashion though, which I don’t mind! Fashion is hard to make work for everyone.

  33. Individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis experience episodes of inflammation that cause the
    body’s immune cells to attack the nervous system.
    You do more research and find a supplier for this item and now you
    are successfully selling it online. P (General Practitioner) or a Cosmetic dermatologist.
    Make sure there is someone in the home with you for the first couple of days after the surgery in case you have an unexpected need.

  34. What a world we live in when the #1 “feminist” magazine is “Bitch” Magazine, a misogynistic slur. Wow.

  35. Pingback: Beginner Photography Classes Chicago | Quality Photos For You And Me

  36. Bitch also has a podcast worth checking out!

    I was dissapointed to see women’s health on this list… As with all mainstream “health” and fitness mags it is SUPER body and fat shaming and that to me makes it not worth supporting, even if there are a few well written articles. But then you referenced getting “hot inner thighs” which is also pretty body/fat shamey so..
