The last time we had this discussion in net.women, I dug out my copy of the issue that had the editorial response to this question. I still haven't unpacked from moving last September, so I'm not going to get the text again. As I recall, the editors said, Yes they DID have such ads but (as Mary Ann Zeszutko pointed out) they were different than other magazines in that they didn't support the ads with their articles. Most other magazines will not have articles contradicting the ads (Ms. does and sometimes in the same issue) and many have supporting articles for the ads (eg. an article about makeup techniques). It would be nice if Ms. did not accept this type of advertising (would only the liquor and car ads be left??). I still like the magazine, though. --from the sssstickkky keyboard of JAM ...!{ihnp4|clyde|decvax}!watmath!wateng!jamcmullan
