Wired is the first word on how ideas and innovation are changing the world. Each month in the magazine and every day online, the editors deliver a
glimpse into the future of business, culture, innovation and science.
…And that is why Wired is my go-to-source for technology:
(lifted from their website. They also talk about gobs and gobs of fancy magazine awards they have won to prove their forward thinking and
innovation)

Since I Love Wired Magazine, I threw it in my briefcase as good reading material. I took it with me to a client meeting…
![Page 7: Why Wired Loves the Ladies](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062707/55839982d8b42a1f098b4abc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Is that magazine

That got me to thinking….
Is Wired Magazine Educational or Soft Porn? Is Wired Magazine a forward thinking magazine in the new
digital era? Or a backward thinking magazine stuck in the stone age?

So I wrote to Wired and asked them……

My response so far….

…So I looked at the last 32 covers as a guide…

..searching for additional cues

Good news : Last 2.5 years there have been three women on the cover! (yeah!)
1) Picture of a naked woman 2) Another picture of a naked woman 3)Picture of a female cancer patient (oh).
(Wired Magazine has featured over a dozen (fully clothed) men including executives, comedians, and celebrities)

Wired magazine clearly loves the ladies.But do they support the ladies?
men, picture your kick butt technology advanced daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend or mom taking one of these covers to ANY
place of business…do they look smarter?
