Social media exploded with praise—and with baffled reactions. The piece, one Twitter user noted, had “big words for a magazine about hairstyles and celebrity gossip.” Another user expressed pure astonishment: “Who would have guessed @TeenVogue might be the future of political news. Unreal coverage of the election.” Others were less kind, and a lot less subtle: “Go back to acne treatments,” one man snapped.

4) What impact did the alternative women’s website Jezebel have on the women’s magazine market?
Now there was incontrovertible evidence that women enjoyed being spoken to like intelligent human beings, rather than clothing-obsessed toddlers. Before long, the ladymags and the ladyblogs were not adversaries so much as cousins. They now draw on an increasingly shared strategy and talent pool.

6) How does the writer suggest feminists used to be represented in the media?
They 'struggled to overcome the perception that they were sexless, grim bra-burners, uninterested in pleasure or aesthetics.'
7) What is the more modern representation of feminism? Do you agree that this makes feminism ‘stereotyped as fluffy’?
That same tradition spearheaded by the early feminist blogosphere holds that femininity is not a form of stupidity. Call it Dworkin’s Curse: For decades, feminists struggled to overcome the perception that they were sexless, grim bra-burners, uninterested in pleasure or aesthetics.
It definitely doesn't make everything' fluffy' but simply embraces the culture of women. Being interested in politics doesn't mean that women have to resign from what they love which is fashion.

They make you look like a beautiful pixie who fronts a glam-rock band. Also, white nationalism is a cancer on our democracy. Women are capable of holding both of these truths in their minds, and prioritizing them accordingly.

10) Is Teen Vogue simply a product of the Trump presidency or will websites and magazines aimed at women continue to become more hard-hitting and serious in their offering to audiences?
I feel like we're in times of massive change and movements like feminism are popular right now so in some time, I do belive that the magazines willl become more 'hard-hitting' to the point when we'll enter the 4-th wave of feminism.
