Just bringing this back.
The people of Mexico were lined up along the streets to see the Pope. This little guy thought otherwise.
Just yesterday I was talking to a kid (sadly, kid = “someone under 30” these days) who had recently resolved a seemingly intractable problem in her life and I was like, “What’s gonna be your piano now?” which she did not get. I was all, “We always have a piano hanging over our head, and when we somehow get rid of the current piano we find ourselves a new one,” and she looked at me as if I were crazy. I dunno, maybe I am, but admit it, you just looked up at your own piano.
Here’s this week’s cover, on newsstands and the iPad tomorrow morning. And the summary of the corresponding story:
In an age where women are dominating - in the workplace, at school, at home - why are they seeking to be dominated in their love lives? Recent media portrayals have shown that a rising number of modern women fantasize about being overpowered, while studies are turning out statistics that bewilder feminists. New shows like HBO’s Girls and books like Fifty Shades of Grey are showcasing the often hidden desire for powerlessness. But why? Katie Roiphe examines the submissive yet empowered female in Newsweek. “It is perhaps inconvenient for feminism that the erotic imagination does not submit to politics, or even changing demographics,” she writes.
We haven’t seen the cover story yet, but color us intrigued! Let’s hear your pre-thoughts, tumblr.
Are you guys fucking kidding with this cover? Just wondering.
