women's-magazine-y

adj. How-to-please-your-man-and-remove-stubborn-stains-and-lose-10-pounds-and-bake-a-pie-ish.

Real citation: "Go buy yourself something pretty, wrap it up, and put it under the tree/menorah. Yes, that sounds really lame and women's-magazine-y, but so what? At least it'll fit, and it won't be crafted from manmade fibers."
(Judy McGuire, Nov. 26, 2008, Seattle Weekly, http://www.seattleweekly.com/2008-11-26/diversions/thank-you/)

Made-up citation: "I wish I could think of some women's-magazine-y topics to write about, but I'm stumped. Do you think Cosmo would take a piece on organ harvesting, and like, how it can tone your abs?"
