I would love for someone to do a study comparing the number of times men and women divorcées are featured on magazine covers. Does anyone remember the last time we saw a male celebrity in a post-divorce cover story?

"Russell Brand opens up about his feelings?" Nope.

"Seal tells People, ‘I'll have kids on my own!'" Not a chance.

Post-divorce covers seem to be almost completely devoted to the female halves of divorced couples.

Case in point: this week's issue of Life & Style magazine featured a beauty shot of Kim Kardashian with the headline, "‘I AM SO ALONE'". The cover comes after the season finale of Kourtney and Kim Take New York on Jan. 29, during which Kim had a serious meltdown on camera and admitted that she felt "dead inside" because of her unhappy marriage to Kris Humphries. The breakdown of the marriage was filmed months ago, but since the split on Oct. 31—you may recall that Kardashian filed for divorce after just 72 days of matrimony—according to the article that accompanied the cover shot, Kardashian has apparently suffered as much privately as she has publicly, spiraling into "a serious depression." Kardashian's stepfather Bruce Jenner told Life & Style, "'It's tough for a woman at 30—not married, no kids. Kim's an idealist.'"

Jenner's words capture a big part of what Hollywood seems to think about divorced women. Kardashian went from being known as "that girl who made a sex tape with Ray J" to being the main face of a multi million dollar clothing and reality TV empire in the space of a few years.

But what's really important? She's 30 and baby-less, while both of her adult sisters are in long-term relationships and planning for children: Khloé Kardshian and her husband Lamar Odom have been trying to conceive, and Kourtney Kardashian is expecting her second baby with boyfriend Scott Disick. I suppose it just goes to show that as much as Hollywood likes to put out a pro-woman image, the daunting number of magazine covers touting the no-baby-no-boyfriend-drama of divorced women (two words: Jennifer Aniston) shows that it doesn't matter how successful a woman is until she's popped out a few babies.

But seriously, Hollywood? That's just wrong. It's 2012. Time to join the 21st century.

As for Kardashian, I can't say I'm too sympathetic to her, since I'm pretty sure no new marriage has ever thrived under reality TV cameras—she brought that extra pressure on herself. But girl, ignore the magazines that tell you you're worthless because you're 30 and childless—they're stuck in the past. Keep that chin up: you're rich, business-savvy and gorgeous. I doubt you'll be single for long.
