AARP Mag needs higher standards in some articles
AARP Mag is for readers 50+ years old. An article in the Sept/Oct 2024 edition focused on women's health issues, which for the over-50 crowd can be especially life-threatening. Instead of taking a respectful approach it was written in a too-light manner, cartoonish even, in a misguided attempt to be appealing. The article included the term "mofo" to describe breast pain. While "mofo" might be in common use among Millennials, it is a HIGHLY offensive term to women and should not be used in an article if it's to be taken seriously. The author, Judith Newman, should use more care when writing for an older female audience, and AARP Mag should hold its writers to a higher standard.
