From this month's Elle magazine: They Like It Like That: Why Every Woman is Desirable

This is probably just about the most skeevy thing I've read in a looooong time. It's like a cross between a shitty Harlequin and a horror novel, emphasis on the horror. Ugh.

feminism, fail, my rage let me show you it, omgwtf

That's just disturbing and wrong on way too many levels. And, granted, I find it highly unlikely that every guy starts mentally undressing every woman he comes across, but still.

Which all goes back to the question everyone else is asking: how the fuck was that published in the first place?

Brb, ordering brain bleach and a chemical shower to stop my skin from crawling now....

......

I would use my headdesk macro but even that doesn't show how grossed out I am.

Is this what I have to look forward to when I someday date? Oh, jeez.

WHAT THE...............

THEY CAN'T BE..........

UGH!

I am SO freaking grossed out and creeped out right now, it's not even funny. I'm willing to bet that it was a dude who let this article be published. And if it was a woman, she deserves to get the crap smacked out of her for publishing it. Idiot. This article makes me sick! I just..................UGH. I can't even begin to express how grossed out and pissed off I am about this article, and if this is supposed to be a broad view about all men, pfft! I don't think I'll date anyone, thankyouverymuch!

WTF?! Not only is this disgusting because of its content, but also because of how it's written. It isn't hard for me at all to imagine the creep who wrote this... this thing, patronisingly "talking" to us innocent unsuspecting little women, gesturing all over the place and letting us in on this juicy secret of the rough world of men. Urgh. I keep trying to understand who on earth this was intended for, what kind of woman were the editors thinking of when they decided to publish this giant pile of rubbish. I keep trying, but I fail miserably. And don't get me started on the title... Who "likes it like that"? What is that supposed to mean?! Is the last part supposed to make me feel good about myself and forget how disgusting the article itself is?! Just... urgh.

I wouldn't have been as surprised if this piece had been published in Maxim or some other men's magazine, which is where it probably should've been published in the first place...

I am genuinely repulsed. Just...oh that is so disgusting and degrading it isn't even funny. I don't think I've felt so opposed to a group of people in a long long time.
They better damn well keep themselves annoymous, because what they've written there is just awful.
"but mostly because there were many uncomfortably attractive girls who had to be nos (as I couldn’t be sure they were above the age of consent)." I think I just gagged. Honestly...talk about being sex offenders.
