"MINCED UP AND POURED DOWN THE DRAIN BY HER LOVER", "Dad FILMED himself having SEX with me" ( Women's chat mag headlines September 2018)

Womens chat magazines publish stories that have been deliberately selected to portray men as evil and cruel killers and do so for the casual entertainment of women. They're displayed close to children's comics and even resemble one.

• Women's chat magazines publish weekly stories of violent rape, sex and death, deliberately selected to portray men as evil monsters with females and children as their helpless victims.
• They are heavily promoted as a "casual read" for women and feature subjects such as domestic sexual violence, child abuse, murder, incest, rape, torture, paedophiles and even cannibalism.
• Children are exposed to these adult magazines on a daily basis in the stores and in their homes as part of their everyday lives.
• These adult-themed magazines are displayed on shelves near the children's comics.
• Headlines often contain words like "DADDY", "MUMMY" and "DEAD" that jump out at a child, even from a brief glimpse.
• Their front covers even resemble children's comic book, attracting children to look at them.
• These magazines make money from trivialising subjects like child abuse and violent rape.
• They teach children to distrust their own fathers and brothers.
• Children can easily buy these low-cost magazines over the counter.
• Some children's groups, such as Child’s Eye Line UK, have spoken out about the negative impact these magazines have on the mental health of children.
• They promote themselves as "true life" but have been caught faking images.
• Some contributors who have had their stories published have complained that the magazine had "made things up".
• Women's chat mags have been described as being "magazines for misandry" yet remain unchallenged.
• They are the most popular weekly women's magazines sold in the UK, selling millions every week.

These magazines contain strong adult content and need to be treated as such.
