JENSIZED LAST ACTIVITY IN MEMPHIS TOWN

IT HAPPENED TO ME: I cant stop reading XOJane enought though its nothing but millennial navel-gazing

Girls parodied XOJane in a recent episode and they were TOTES FLATTERED because, I mean, hello, LENA DUNHAM

I loved Jane magazine in my early twenties. It wasn’t as obsessed with the man-pleasing aspects of young womanhood as Cosmo, and it wasn’t as fashion-crazed as other magazines geared toward my demographic. It was balanced. So of course it ceased publication in 2006 because I can’t have nice things.

XOJaneis… well… not Jane. Its masthead proclaims it to be “where women go when they are being selfish, and where their selfishness is applauded.” Which basically translates to “All the name-dropping, #firstworldproblems and #humblebrag that’s fit to print. Also, Lena Dunham.”

They’ve recently launched a sister site called XOVain, where one recent article consisted solely of Jared Harris’ girlfriend bragging about how one of the female Mad Men cast members gave her a cold. It’d be hilarious if it was Kiernan Shipka, but I digress.

I used to read Jane to feel like an empowered modern woman and all that. But I read XOJane purely for the patent ridiculousness.

So, without further ado, I present to you, the best/worst XOJane headlines of February, 2013. Enjoy.
