'Boys Being Boys' Didn't Age Well

Times change, but it's hard to remember times changing as fast as they are now, when we can look back on early 2000s "lad mag" celebrity interviews and cringe. This article notes that the interviews (mostly by male writers) of young female celebrities (like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan) now come off as creepy as hell, and it does raise the question of why nobody said anything about the skeezy stuff in Maxim and FHM at the time. But they kinda did; I remember being put off by a lot of what was being sold as "guy stuff" at the time, and I worked in "guy talk" radio and would cringe at what some hosts did. But we didn't DO anything about it, so here we are. Have we learned anything from this? (Washington Post)
