Hmm, I hope this is clear.
While I'm not a female I did some research on pop culture and its agenda setting with young women. I did some analysis of several issues of YM magazine and found that less than 10% (maybe less than 5% I'd have to look) was actually dedicated to articles with messages like "Be yourself, etc" the rest of the magazine was dedicated to advertising selling makeup, clothes, etc and "articles" that read more like the sharper image catalog.

It's interesting how even some things that masquerade as 'pro-feminist' are in truth wolves in sheeps clothing in that respect. Interesting subject though.
