I am with Carly - it’s so boring! So many interesting things to talk about and these are the things they choose!

It feels like young girls talking about silly things not mature aged women running a media outlet showcasing women. Women are definitely not talking about the stuff they talk about!

I know she’s not for everyone, but I do think she was on of their most talented writers. It’s a big loss.
I think Hannah Ferguson and Big Small Talk and even the shameless girls and their team are more articulate, entertaining and on the pulse of what women are really talking about. Mamamia used to be the only option now there is so much competition who are doing it much much better

Absolutely agree. I also think a lot of their “hot takes” and feminism chats were topical and relevant back in 2012, but I know I have stepped up in my awareness and knowledge. I’ve graduated Mamamia Feminism 101 and I’m sure a lot of other women my age feel the same.

Spot on. It DID feel fresh and interesting to have the female perspective ‘back in the day’ but as the landscape has opened up and I’ve been accessing different voices (apart from the white middle class women), I feel like I’ve also graduated!

They should cut Mia and add a Gen Z. Then they’d have one from each generation like they used to and it would be more interesting to more people

Exactly, why do they have 2 Gen X's.
It used to be a women in their 40s, 30s and 20s

If that's better than it was at 32, lord help her.
I'm laughing at the caption - "ever wondered exactly what Mia Freedman puts on her face?" no. I haven't. Not once.

Far more researched and nuanced..you can tell the podcasts that are carefully curated and discussed and those pumped out in the fast fashion equivalent way.

Never in a million years would I wonder what Mia’s skincare routine is! She has completely average skin, it’s not bad but it’s also nothing remotely special. It’s heartening to see a woman in the public eye not worried about the visible signs of aging (that’s a tagline from Olay or something isn’t it?) but no, I don’t want to know the secrets of how to achieve skin that is completely unremarkable

...is this the photo that's meant to be representative of the "better" skin? In terrible shady light with every wrinkle emphasised, not smiling? I mean, she looks fine. She looks like she might have had some dark spots removed and uses a good moisturiser. But sorry, she doesn't look 32

Yeah she looks completely average in crappy lighting. Literally a non-story. She just wants an article to talk about herself....is this the photo that's meant to be representative of the "better" skin? In terrible shady light with every wrinkle emphasised, not smiling?

The sad thing is the mamamia fans will probably gush over Mia’s very average skin
I also see Luca! I wonder if that’s what Jessie sees and was part of the attraction
