Alice, it's certainly mostly men who own the companies, but it's women who run the women's magazines. I don't have any evidence for the assumption, but I doubt the owners have much say in what goes in them, so long as they make a profit.

You're right about men starting to buy into the plastic surgery thing, as well. More false assumptions - women believe men want stick-thin waifs, and men believe women want bodybuilders. All rubbish, but you'd never know from the magazines.
