Ariana Grande and her mom pointed out the glaring problem with the way we define “men’s” and “women’s” interests.
Grande’s mom Joan tweeted a split-photo Sunday of a newsstand with men’s and women’s magazines shown on separate racks labeled by “interests.” On the women’s side were tabloids like National Enquirer and InTouch, while Robb Report and Outside were on the men’s side.

The 22-year-old responded to her mom’s question noting that — gasp! — women like reading about more than celebrity gossip, and that men can enjoy Cosmo.
@joangrande oh! so women are only interested in tabloids& if I want to read about cars, business, science I have to go to the MEN’S section?
