What Women Want

Newsweek asks that time-honored question, what do women (i.e., most people) want. Jessica Valenti comments that perhaps women want “Not to have articles about their political interests represented by a fucking tube of lipstick.”

One of the stories promoted on the cover, meanwhile, is a great sarcastic piece by Dahlia Lithwick about Sarah Palin’s penchant for hard-right views on cultural issues and proclivity for ignoring the rule of law. It doesn’t, however, have much of anything to do with the subject teased on the cover.
