A discussion of Helen Gurley Brown’s legacy, featuring Cat Marnell, Moe Tkacik, and Edith Zimmerman, was appropriately fiery, raunchy, and honest
“Feminism and women’s rights and emancipation and all that shit is a political goal,” Tkacik said. “That is a political end. And advertisers don’t anywhere want to achieve political reform…. If women in the Middle East are emancipated somehow, it’s not going to be because of fucking Cosmo.”
“If a woman has sex in a doghouse in the Middle East,” Marnell chimed in, “that might be because of Cosmo.”
Last night was amazing and a little crazy and a provocative discussion for sure, and Cat Marnell said she liked my shoes!
