This is a picture of a magazine called Cosmopolitan. The cover of this magazine is displaying a skinny, tan girl with blonde hair on the front of the cover. This is playing into gender identity because it seems like in order to get onto a magazine cover you have to be skinny and pretty, without that, you are not on the cover, maybe not even in the magazine at all. Not only does this display gender identity on the front cover, it also displays it throughout the magazine. This magazine is about sex. All this magazine talks about are ways to please your man through sexual favors. Not only does it talk about that, but it also talks about how to make sure your man doesn't cheat on you. All the ways to make sure he doesn't cheat on you are to give him what he wants in sexual favors. This is a magazine that displays gender identity and roles all throughout the magazine. I believe it makes women feel less than pretty because they always have to live up to other girls expectations.
