AGAIN, she nailed it.

AMY SCHUMER HAS tweeted about this sort of thing in the past, but now she’s spoken at length about women’s magazines.

She has a specific problem with their ‘Who Wore It Better?’ comparison pieces – like this one last week:

As Bustle reports, Amy was speaking at the Women’s Media Awards in New York City at the end of last week, and shut down these types of articles when on stage:

The first picture [the press] took of me, I think they thought I looked like the devil. And then I started reading these magazines, and they’re like, ‘Who wore it better?’
In one of them, I was next to Caitlyn Jenner and Kris Jenner. And then me and Fergie. And I wish, god, I wish this wasn’t so negative. I wish these magazines weren’t pitting women against each other.

She wrapped up her speech by laying the boot in once more:

I have a real love-hate relationship with women’s magazines. These photos are not important, and it’s images that we see every day. There’s no need to pit women against each other.

And people are loving her for the speech

Praise Amy

Spot on once again.
