[[https://reductress.com/ Reductress]] is an American {{satire}} website founded by comedians Beth Newell and Sarah Pappalardo in 2013. It makes fun of media targeted towards women by posting parody articles about women's issues, news, mundane situations encountered by women, dating, and feminism in manners akin to that of a women's magazine (e.g. listicles, advice columns, confessionals). They're known for their [[ClickbaitGag highly specific headlines]].

!!Tropes:
* BeautifulTears: Parodied by "[[https://reductress.com/post/woman-only-beautiful-when-shes-crying/ Woman Only Beautiful When She's Crying]]", where a woman is ''only'' considered good-looking when she's in tears.
* GoldDigger: Exploited in "[[https://reductress.com/post/tips-for-subtly-teaching-your-daughter-to-marry-rich/ Tips for Subtly Teaching Your Daughter How To Marry Rich]]".
-->Just because you ignored your company’s 401k enrollment for the last eight years doesn’t mean you have to grow old and poor. Remember: having a daughter who marries a social worker can happen to anyone. We all need to chip in to ensure our comfortable future, so start building your investment now.
* HighHeelHurt: The gag in "[[https://reductress.com/post/little-black-dresses-to-match-your-blood-filled-stilettos/ Little Black Dresses to Match Your Blood-Filled Stilettos]]" is that a well-fitting LittleBlackDress hides just how much your feet are bleeding from your killer heels.
* IWantGrandkids: Parodied in the 'article' "[[https://reductress.com/post/i-finally-gave-my-mom-grandkids-and-now-im-wanted-for-kidnapping/ I Finally Gave My Mom Grandkids and Now I’m Wanted for Kidnapping]]", where a woman responds to repeated grandchild requests by felony kidnapping.
-->''"Ultimately, I’ve learned so much from this experience. First and foremost, you can never make everyone happy. Kidnapping children so that my mom could have grandkids may have made my mom happy, but it made the state authorities of Virginia very angry, and also it didn’t make my mom happy. But was this troublous journey rewarding in the end? Of course not."''
* LongestPregnancyEver:
** [[https://reductress.com/post/jennifer-aniston-enters-thirteenth-trimester-of-pregnancy/ Jennifer Aniston Enters Thirteenth Trimester of Pregnancy]] is exactly what it says on the tin.
** [[https://reductress.com/post/hometown-friend-somehow-still-pregnant/ Hometown Friend Somehow Still Pregnant]] focuses on Deena Lorento's high school friend Janet, who's been pregnant for almost five years.
* RetailTherapy: "[[https://reductress.com/post/yikes-retail-therapy-cheaper-than-actual-therapy/ Retail Therapy Cheaper than Actual Therapy]]", where a woman, due to the high cost of healthcare, realizes that shopping gives her the same happiness at lower cost.
* TotemPoleTrench: [[http://reductress.com/post/my-boyfriends-are-always-two-kids-on-each-others-shoulders-wearing-a-trench-coat/ This]] satirical article, in which a woman unlucky in love can't seem to stop dating immature men who each turn out to be two kids in a trenchcoat. (But she's got high hopes for her new guy, and really respects his commitment to recovering from alcoholism indicated by his unwillingness to meet her at a bar.)
