I vote with those who say it's mean, fat, middle-and-lower-class white women who enjoy seeing women they envy suffer
Only 70% of tabloids are sold to women? Who are the men buying these things?
The readership is women and it's not, mostly, successful, hard-charging, toned-butt female executives, I'll just bet. Somehow, seems that way.
It's frustrated, stymied, stifled, I-settled, bored, unhappy, envious, stuck-with-my-kids, I-didn't-fight-the-system types who buy these tabloids.
And they ENJOY hearing about these young women who got everything they have due to flaunting their ass-ets flaming out.
Simple as that. NOT SEXISM.
It's women keeping women down.
One could show this by comparing the sales of tabloids in low-end grocers and Wal-mart v Wholefoods. I'll just bet tabloids move in the lower-income retailers.
I've seen so much the power of female-v-female envy. Everytime I turn around, it's the woman on the panel who is after me. Women are envious, jealous, competitive, prone to internecine destructiveness and self-destructive.
And I consider myself a feminist. But this has just been my experience. Recently.
When I was younger, it was mostly sexual harassment and men causing me trouble. (I was in finance.) Now, it is other womens' envy, as I get older and more successful using outside-the-woman's-box methods, in a man's business.
Just the way it has been.
I love my female friends and couldn't live without them, but out there, in the business and regulatory world -- it's the women who trying to tear you down.
Much as I wish it weren't true.
