On the one hand, the article is utterly meaningless for a host of reasons. On the other hand, it represents sexism of the first order: not only does it make sweeping generalizations of all men (based, one would think, off encounters with a relatively limited subset of men of a single cultural background), they are broadly negative. That it wraps it all in the guise of what I'm just going to call the Vaginal Burden as some sort of sacred duty is the ultimate icing on the cake.
As a result, I am forced to come to a conclusion: it's a parody. Until I find a copy of that magazine and look for myself, I refuse to accept that this was pitched, written, edited, and distributed simply because you would be hard pressed to find a more egregious example of sexism in a written work in recent memory.
