Women's Weeklies
Whenever I'm in a newsagents looking for a copy of New Scientist or Private Eye my thought process is thus:

"Women's weeklies, where are the fucking men's weeklies?"
"Not that it would matter, Private Eye is fortnightly."
"Ah, here we go. Men's lifestyle. Oh, ffs, why is it all tits and bikes? "
"Hmm. What's closer to Private Eye, computer magazines or music magazines? Oh, there we go, science and business."
"Why can't they put them in men's lifestyle where they belong?"

I'm afraid that every single time I go there it's the same. I really cannot fathom how Private Eye is not the male equivalent of Grazia.

Bad me.

But then...
Is there anything essentially "male" about Private Eye? I wonder what the gender ratio of their readers is.

Probably about

if the rumours are true...

Yes.
Far fewer women have any interest in politics and current affairs than men. It's even virtually a taboo to be interested in it as a man in some circles.

This is why they have to 'positively discriminate' when it comes to selecting female candidates at elections, there are fantastic female candidates out there, it's just that far fewer women give a fuck enough to want to stand, so there's a far greater choice of men.

grazia is a fucking rag, full of shit about so-called celebrities, about whom most sensible people could not give a fuck.

In smiths the other day
the hubby noticed that there is a new magazine for chaps, all about being a dad.

On the subject of magazines, womens aren't much better.
There are weekly true life ones, like Take a Break; the celebrity magazines, like Heat; the glossy monthly, Cosmo for example and the kids and home, Good Housekeeping for example.
So what is there for me?

An acquaintance of mine has been on the cover of that, actually!

Well something that would combine the lot would be a good rag, no doubt.
But I'm betting this idea might cross the gender lines. Still you get a click for your amusing monologue.

Spot on
Had exactly that problem a couple of days ago in WH Smiths. When I did eventually find them I realized I must have been having a "man look" as they were both fairly obvious and it looked like they'd been deliberately placed right next to each other for other similarly challenged blokes.
