In the realm of speculation, but I do wonder if it was a female sub taking a sarcastic pop, I had a flip through a few glossies (I can't reach the top shelf*, I'm a shortarse, so had to settle for the cycling magazines). I will say coverage of the ladies was most aptly described as token. I expect more women appear in Hipster Beard Monthly. But yeah, a sporty magazine filled with expensive shiny bits, you don't have to work hard to figure out the target audience doesn't double up on its X chromosomes.
I've only worked on the academic end of the publishing industry (well, mostly) and editorial roles are predominantly female. All my team back in the day were women, so much so they used to complain about my failure to hire a suitably handsome male (ugh, not you, you're our boss). I tried. They must have all been working on cycling and computer mags. Actually I did briefly work for a computer mag back in the day (one of my first jobs in London, discovered it did pay nearly enough for both rent and food, so that didn't last), and that was as male and nerdy as expected. No one would have used the word handsome to describe that bunch. Clean would have been a stretch. Believe me, on that salary, it was soap or food.
*I couldn't help but notice there still was a top shelf, so to speak. I obviously don't look up very often but I'd assume the internet had killed that market. it didn't look very enticing but buxom ladies with vertiginous cleavages aren't really my cup of tea – I expect they'll survive their heartbreak at this news – I'm more a neck person, seriously that's you best region of feminine geography (the back thereof, under the hair, not the front). Now I written that it's going to make me seem weird, but there you go, and if it's thing on the internet I've yet to find suitably pictorial resources.
