How women appear on the front of GQ vs how men appear on the front of GQ
@Jessicae13Eaton has put together a whole bunch of GQ covers with women on the front, and compared it to a whole bunch of times the magazine put men on the front.
I just wanted to show you what patriarchy versus objectification and dementalisation of women looks like. @GQMagazine this is appalling. pic.twitter.com/QN1ZOsuIYx

Yes, that crap is unreadable.

The magazine is called Gentleman’s Quarterly… this is like shaming Magic Mike for objectifying men
