One Tweet About These Magazine Covers Clearly Demonstrates How Differently Boys and Girls Are Treated

By Abby Heugel Over 1 million people just like you 'Like' us »

In case there was any doubt that society treats boys and girls differently, a picture tweeted out by writer Jennifer Wright might put that to rest.

A side-by-side comparison of a magazine meant for girls and one for boys shows the girls’ magazine’s headlines like “Wake Up Pretty” and “Your Dream Hair” juxtaposed with Boys’ Life’s “Explore Your Future.”

To be fair, Boys’ Life was created for Boy Scouts, while Girls’ Life is a lifestyle magazine, but the messages are still clear — girls should focus on looks, boys should learn how to be successful.

Since Wright's tweet has been up, it has been retweeted over eight thousand times, but not all of the response has been positive.

@JenAshleyWright You do realize that the topics of these magazines are based on consumer demand right? So blame women for liking these.

@JenAshleyWright @pdkwalk Those are things girls choose to watch. Upset about gender disparities? Ask women why they want them.
