Okay, Cosmo is low-hanging fruit but ...

... one of the teasers on the cover of the edition of Cosmopolitan up at the place I buy groceries reads as follows:
Fifty ways to seduce a man
That's the big print. The smaller print that follows says,
in less than a minute
And I keep thinking is there a nontrivial difference between "seducing a man in less than a minute" and "making it painful obvious to him that you are there for the taking"?

And that inspires a deeper question. I keep reading that men are in horrible trouble in today's world; that women are ascendant and triumphant. If that is so, then how come so many women are still such losers that a teaser like that sells magazines?

For a deeper exploration of that theme, see this.
