Huh, I thought Tavi Gevinson would do something, well how to put it, different with her life.

But Barack Obama is already married!

I took it to mean that Brie Larson doesn’t personally believe in a beauty standard, not that a beauty standard doesn’t exist.

That was my immediate impression as I read it too.

i interpreted it the same way. she’s not stupid, and she talks about her own insecurity, so it doesn’t make sense that she would deny the existence of appearance expectations placed on women (and choosing to read it that way... is a choice). the wording could be better, but it sounds like she’s just saying that…

No, I interpret her comments the same way. She’s saying that there is no objective standard for beauty. If anything, she’s agreeing that the beauty brands and fashion magazines are doing a disservice by not representing outside a narrow view. I don’t know how the question was really phrased but, even in this article,…

I took it to mean that Brie Larson doesn’t personally believe in a beauty standard, not that a beauty standard doesn’t exist. Am I being too generous?

To all the trolls harassing this post... what the fuck? I’ve been a commenter here for years. I’m an academic and abortion care worker, so yes, I really do curate what I spend my almost non-existent free time on. We’ve had white men’s perspectives on everything for literally forever, andI deal with the fallout of that…

With any luck, he gets his height from his mom’s former personal trainer.

I don’t watch sports, and I usually avoid white male-led shows, preferring to spend my time consuming media by/about/starring POC, queer folks, and women. But I’ve made an exception for this show, for the reasons discussed in this essay. It is something my cis male spouse and I can watch together and discuss, and has…

“Sit down next to me and take your talking to”?

I also hate that he is getting all of this attention for this bit, as if he is the first comedian to make this point. There are far funnier lady comedians who have been making this point for a while.

I can’t fucking stand Bill Burr and his ilk ie comedians whose whole schtick is railing against political correctness. I mean he’s not wrong about white women but comedy should be about punching up, not down. I wouldn’t say telling LGBTQ+ people that they aren’t sufficiently oppressed and calling Black people “equator…

Irrelevant extras,  trying to stay relevant 

Hey, Allegedly Cool Pope, how about you start that wealth redistribution by ensuring your victims of sex abuse get compensation instead of allowing a dioceses to declare bankruptcy instead?

He should start by making the Church’s massive health care system free and start paying corporate income taxes.

So he’s going to set the example by distributing the wealth of his church?  Awesome!  Thanks, cool pope!

Is the church still fighting for laws that would make it more difficult for some of their wealth being redistributed to people who have been harmed by their covering up for and enabling child sexual abuse?

I thought he had been eating Barney’s ass.

I’m sure all our thoughts and prayers are with the coronavirus at this diffcult time.
