I understand where I think you're coming from, but in this case, your ire feels misplaced. The author of this article does not at all cast aspersions on Beyonce's feminist cred, merely quoting, without evaluative comment, Joanna Robinson of Vanity Fair. In my comment, I indicate surprise, but express that while I'm…

Beyoncé is a feminist messenger? I admit that I don't pay all that much attention to her...what've I missed? Someone please help me out.

I am dealing with this right now, myself. There's the friend who disappears when I'm going through some serious stuff, and reappears 4 months later talking as though nothing's happened.

It's a fucking donut.

It's fried dough and sweet glaze. Not exactly the baked equivalent of rocket science. So no. They're a donut shop; it's indisputable.
