My brief rant to Empire magazine:After recently handing my girlfriend the August issue of Empire she was appalled to find such blatant misogyny in William Thomas’ review of her favourite childhood book; Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging. Several outrageous statements which in one instance referred to women as a separate ‘species’ demonstrated Thomas’ lack of insight and empathy towards the films aimed demographic. As a magazine you take great pride in being the best selling film publication in the UK. I feel this will be a title you will struggle to maintain when you purposefully alienate half the public. I expected better of such an established work. What is this? Nuts magazine or something?
