criticism

The Bravo Girl was accused, among others, of Astrid Rothe-Beinlich  - spokeswoman for women's politics for Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen  - and the Green Youth of having published sexist and inhuman jokes in their November 2007 issue 25.

The taz accused Bravo Girl of restricting the representation of boys as far as possible to aestheticists and those who see girls as sex objects.

Feminists such as B. Alice Schwarzer , Ursula Lebert or Conny Hermann accused “Bravo Girl” of turning the readers into uncritical, apolitical and egocentric young women by choosing the topics and focusing on externalities.
