Afghan Women’s Magazine

My mother had this “Afghan Women’s Magazine” lying around and the cover was simply too great not to share.

Not only is the person on the cover of the Afghan Women’s Magazine not a woman, but he doesn’t seem all that excited about being on the cover anyway, what with his crossed arms and disinterested stare at the camera. Perhaps to make up for his lack of enthusiasm, the publishers added the radiating lines behind him, giving him that “glorious Japanese Empire” look.

Although I’m sure there’s a perfectly good reason for a man to be on the cover of this women’s magazine, it reminds me of an Onion story I read last year. The headline, “Man Finally Put In Charge Of Struggling Feminist Movement,” pretty much says it all.
