Dante Bitches About Glamour Magazine Women Of The Year Complaints


Some people use their anger or hatred like a shotgun. They will be mad at one thing and end up buck-shooting something that was a little bit too close. I'm more of a sniper with mine. I focus, aim, and go after one topic. Glamour magazine released their Women Of The Year for 2015 and people have been losing their shit for a multitude of reasons because of this. Some because they hate transgenders. Some because they hate anything Jenner/Kardashian related. Some because they do not believe that Caitlyn Jenner should be included in the category of Woman Of The Year.

Don't get it twisted. This isn't Time magazine. It's fucking Glamour. I won't say it doesn't matter because it is a fashion magazine or whatnot but I get upset when they make Batman's cape too short but I will say...it doesn't matter. One writer who wrote a post that was full of all the anger said “By choosing Jenner as woman of the year, Glamour endorses the idea that men are better at being women than we are.” She also mentioned ovulating and having four daughters who I hope do not inherit her anger. She also pointed out the example of “Martine Rothblatt, a transgender woman, graced the cover of New York Magazine as highest-paid female CEO in the nation. Apparently real women can't cut it, so we've got to import men into our ranks to win awards.”

Another person that is mad about Jenner getting this award is James Smith. His wife, Moira Smith, was given the award years ago after his wife died being one of the twenty three NYPD officers killed during 9/11. He sent the award back to the editor-in-chief of Glamour with a letter saying “I was shocked and saddened to learn that Glamour has just named Bruce Jenner 'Woman of the Year.' Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man? I can only guess that this was a publicity stunt meant to resuscitate a dying medium. After discussing this slap in the face to the memory of our Hero with my family, I have decided to return Moira's award to Glamour magazine.”


The way this award is handed out is the same as any other shitty magazine that I am shocked still sell. Whoever is popular at the time will get it. Selena Gomez got it. Lady Gaga got it. Lupita Nyong'o got it last year for getting her ass kicked and screaming in 12 Years A Slave. Jenner is getting it because she (depending on who you talk to they still refer to her as a he) because she got a divorce, killed a woman while driving, got a sex change, and people care about what she is going to wear.

People are interested in everything she is doing right now. Glamour would be stupid to not have her involved in their show. ESPN did the same damned thing. Within a year she will fade into the shadow of her insane ass daughter and extended family and no one will be talking about her. Let the woman have her moment. You don't really care if she is given the “honor” of being nominated. Women have listed all the for lack of a better word, bad, reasons why she isn't a real woman and hasn't been through what women have. Everything is blood and pain related. That isn't what I think women are made of. I can already hear voices shouting what I think does not matter because I have an alleged penis. You don't know Jenner and likely will never meet her. This is not an award young girls want and if they do you raised a strange ass daughter.
