The contrast between the two magazine covers has caused some consternation online with many criticising Girls’ Life for focusing primarily on fashion and beauty, while Boys’ Life focuses on, you know, empowering young men for the future.

And now women are tweeting at Girls’ Life to let them know that being pretty isn’t the be all and end all for most women.
