In their latest issue, the douchebags at Maxim magazine released an article counting down their choices for the top 5 “unsexiest” women.  The list looked like this:

#5: Britney Spears

#4: Madonna

#3: Sandra Oh

#2: Amy Winehouse

And finally, the #1 “unsexiest” woman alive:  Sarah Jessica Parker

Many people claim that our culture’s obsession with beauty somehow creates an unattainable goal for young girls to reach.  They like to portray Hollywood as being involved in some secret conspiracy designed to create eating disorders.  I’ve never really agreed with that, though.  There’s nothing inherently wrong with celebrities being pretty, and seeing this beauty shouldn’t hurt anyone’s self esteem.

However, something seems altogether different about this crap.  Look…these girls aren’t exactly my cup of tea, either…but to say that these women are the unsexiest women possible?  First off, it’s incredibly mean-spirited towards the women targeted.  Worse, though, is that Maxim is basically telling girls everywhere that by attaining even these levels of sexiness, you are still just some hideous piece of shit who deserves to be insulted and mocked.

This one list seems like it could cause more damage to the self esteem of girls everywhere, than any issue of Cosmo ever did.  Fortunately, most women are too smart to read the mindless drivel they print in Maxim.

Note:  I haven’t actually read the article, and am therefore relying only on the media’s interpretation as a main source.  If the article was some obvious parody, April Fool’s joke, or any other less-than-evil thing that is simply being taken out of context, please correct me.
