Yes, I see that it's supposed to be "humor" and "satire" (keywords at bottom). Unfortunately, it's "humor."
It depends, has The New Yorker published a how-to guide about anal sex too?

8. As a favor, he stays with his boss’s children so she can go on a weekend outing with a guy who drives a motorcycle, has a fine cigar and bourbon collection, and base jumps.

I'd claim to have a bourbon collection, but that's not true. Bourbon was made for drinking, not collecting.
Unless one stole that shipment of Pappy van Winkle. That's too much to drink in one set, and it isn't like you can sell it off the back of the truck.

@ Darth: Pardon My Pappy - I don’t think it worked. But, if she’d believe it, just pour some Old Crow in a Pappy bottle, ‘cause she’ll never know the difference.

Well, the New Yorker criteria identify hipsters, gay men, and things that don't make sense like item 5. If someone calls you a cuck you probably are, since no guy would ever use that term otherwise, and if you are, it ain't funny.
As to opening "metaphorical doors", almost all the income difference between men and women is due to choices (yeah sure there are a few workplaces where the boss is a jerk, but there are also some where they don't promote men, like HR and women's mags). For example, I have seen surveys showing that women turn down chances leading to partner at a law firm or regional manager at a big corp because of the much longer hours and travel required. Women have a life outside work, in general.

I don't get your comparison to Teen Vogue. While this is far from the zippiest, or most scathing, illustrated humor I've ever in the New Yorker, I think it's pretty typical of the humor in their cartoons (of course, perhaps you've always found the New Yorker comparable to Teen Vogue.)
By the way, a classic cartoon by Bob Mankoff (and one of my all-time favorites.)

Sadly, on that weekend outing, after the most fantastic sex either of them had ever had, she died in a fiery crash when he tried to pass a car going uphill, yelling to her, "Watch this...this is gonna be FUN!!"

> she died in a fiery crash
Promotion time!

They sure sound more like signs that "he" has no balls.

I wonder if they changed the title after this list was written. Because none of the behaviors they identify are in any way masculine. They're servile effeminate traits.
Anyway..
1. What do Jewish do to their sons that makes them so self loathing???
2. Why is it that when Progressive women describe their 'perfect' man, they describe a servant?
3. Why do Progressive men put up with this shit? Are they all self loathing Jews?
4. Am I a bad person for wishing their were a serial killer who went around murdering writers like these, cutting them up, and sprinkling them over the salad bar at whole foods?

Yes, Snoopy, Promotion Time! But not for Non-Toxic Male. Serfs make poor bosses. Better to promote her Executive Assistant, who is unmarried, has no children and given her preference for female companions, she is unlikely to have any. More time for work.

"Seven signs that your man’s masculinity is nonexistent."
Fixed it for them.

Better titles:
7 signs your man will soon transition to a woman.
or
7 signs your man is about to begin a homosexual affair.
