WOMEN CRY FOUL AS GLAMOUR MAGAZINE NAMES BRUCE JENNER "WOMAN OF THE YEAR"
The politically correct Glamour Magazine has reportedly waived the one defining requirement of candidates for its “Woman of the Year” honor—a double X chromosome—in conferring the title for 2015 on crossdresser Bruce Jenner, a move many women are finding insulting.
The magazine is expected to formally announce its choice of Jenner as woman of the year, along with actress Reese Witherspoon, on November 3.
Criticisms are already piling up from women who find the choice of Jenner to be demeaning, and are falling into two main camps. First, out of all the real women in the world, could Glamour not find one worthy of the title of Woman of the Year without needing to fish in the male pool of boys dressing as girls?
Second, what in the world has Jenner done in the past year—other than get a makeover—that qualifies him as a model for achieving woman around the world?
In a stinging commentary, Nicole Russell writes that by choosing Jenner as woman of the year, “Glamour endorses the idea that men are better at being women than we are.”
Russell compares Glamour’s insulting maneuver to a cover of New York Magazine featuring transgender Martine Rothblatt as the “highest-paid female CEO” in the nation. “Apparently real women can’t cut it, so we’ve got to import men into our ranks to win awards,” Russell notes.
“Jenner might feel like he is a woman,” she writes, “he might want to be a woman, he might be living as a woman, but thoughts do not generate biology or reality.”

ah the gender person's self representation as male or female.
Where are the Furries who are human yet want to be animals. Just cause they think they are does not make it so.
Bottom line Jenner is just doing Cos play.

Male is not a gender. Man is a gender.

you know, back in the olden days we used to put crazy people in asylums. in fact we did it so often that quite a lot of non crazy people made it in there too. but, everyone talks about how everything from craftsmanship to culture, even family, was better back then. i can only guess that the two things are related. nowadays we put crazy people on a pedestal and call them brave and heroic and the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

What if this was a ploy by Glamour to get attention and thus ad revenue as people angrily click on links and read the story?
I think it worked. I myself had completely forgotten about Glamour's existence but now I'll probably notice it next time I'm standing in the checkout line.

Woman of the year is for sexist women. Feminists everywhere are celebrating because of all the equality

i really hope some magazine that does a Man of the Year gives it to some female for doing some stereotypical male thing. like if all that it takes is dressing like a woman to win Woman of the Year then maybe Ronda Rousey should win Man of the Year for not punching like a girl. lol
