My sister read it from cover to cover. The mag's message seemed schizophrenic: take charge of your life... be your own woman... you can have it all! Then on the cover would be a model with an inch of makeup and her tits hanging out.
Are women really nothing without a man?

It's not really about men, OP, at least not directly. Our society dictates what it means to be a woman who "has it all", and beauty/sex appeal is very much included.

Cosmo was full of sexy articles and quizzes (it’s editor was hired because she wrote the bestseller “Sex & the Single Girl”) so of course the covers were slutty.

"You can have it all" was 1970s feminist nonsense dogma. All it led to was a lot of burnt-out women retreating from the workplace and going back to being housewives. Nancy Pelosi, for example, had her family first THEN had a political career. And she didn't even ask for the latter.

I don’t think the 1970s Cosmopolitan had a You Can Have It All vibe. It was pitched at single women, not working mothers.

Yes indeed, we too use "cookies." Take a look at our privacy/terms or if you just want to see the damn site without all this bureaucratic nonsense, click ACCEPT. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.
