I’m old enough to remember when Cosmopolitan, Glamour, et al actually published good fiction and even some interesting nonfiction. It was female-oriented, but it wasn’t chick lit. You wouldn’t see that anymore.

In #8 you missed the real anachronistic headline - “What Happens When You Answer An Ad For A Man” - back in those days, newspapers had two separate categories for job listings - “Help Wanted - Men” and “Help Wanted - Women.”

  Because it doesn’t exist anymore (no idea if it would if it did, but that puts a bit of a damper on it). But Seventeen has the word sex on the cover sometimes, usually in the context of “are you ready?”
