The construction of femininity in such magazines is directly linked to consumption.

" Girls want to step on the success "to be the most 'in' in almost everything," the report said. The most serious for those responsible for the analysis is that the stereotype of the relationship between man and woman is the same as "our ancestors: the girls in these magazines can be up to date on everything, but if they have small, are nothing ".
