摘　　要：This paper approaches an analysis of blatant gender stereotyping in magazine media, analyzes the nature of this stereotyping while comparing it to other modem English media, supports these findings with existing literature, and explores the nature of motivations in gender stereotyping. Magazines often claim that the reason men and women cannot get along is because of their differences in perspective and communication. In addition, popular magazines which commonly portray men and women differently among others have come to expect the stereotypes to be true To investigate the phenomena of modem media stereotyping gender, with an emphasis on the medium of magazines, we can consider how and why the stereotypes that are unique to the genders situated in the traditional cultural, and social settlement that are generated in the two popular magazines, Men＇s Health and Cosmopolitan, in question from linguistic, thematic, and commercial aspects. Because of these reasons, this analysis and discussion will outline the relevant academic topics in this area, followed by examples of how the magazines reflect these aspects. The differences in the stereotypes of gender are commonly known, and we can account for these due to the perpetuation of age-old stereotypes through magazines and other media similar to Men＇s Health and Cosmopolitan
