Yes, I agree gentials must go too. I would long for a nickname like d@ck. We are not there yet.

And poor people, don't forget them. Hes part of the group of asshole who denied funding for a much needed public transportation overhaul because, "only the help would use it."
It's aspirational people. You actually have to sign up to get her Goop! You literally are asking for it. Goop is no different than Vogue, Gossip Girl, Real Housewives, the Bravo network and E. We like to hear about rich, pretty people. I also agree with Gwyneth that there should be a different word for amicable…
Oh god, it's called hyperbole.
The rest of what you wrote I do agree with though - women are held to a higher moral standard than men, no doubt about it.
sorry, but i don't think anyone judges women as harshly as other women do. and who reads gossip magazines most? women. so while it may be a room full of men at tmz, the readership is mostly female. and who is usually first to blame the Other Woman rather than the cheating husband for 'homewrecking'? women.
That's a very gendered assumption.
well said. and it's not just tabloids. a lot of feminists are just as bad and will go all Mean Girls and tear into any famous woman that they consider isn't acting like a Perfect Feminist. love her, buld her up, and then tear her down with accusations of racism, 'privilege', etc.
Agreed. I also don't think her target demo is regular working class folks. She's clearly aiming for upper class women with lots of time on their hands, so she's really not all that "out of touch" for her audience.
People don't like GOOP because she's a rich, white woman who never bothered with the 'aw shucks I'm just a small town girl with a dream' bullshit because it is bullshit. We live in a materialistic, celebrity obsessed, vapid culture and she was supplying demand. People are so, so happy she's getting divorced because it…
I like her a bit better . I went through an ugly separation a couple of years ago and wish I'd done it a tenth as gracefully.
I find this article to be a good deal more smug and self-satisfied than I've ever found Gwyneth Paltrow.
Damn, based off these comments you'd think Gwyneth has killed all your mothers.
Well, I just dunno about all this. It's hideous that people are taking glee in this divorce, even given that Gwyneth comes across as kind of insufferable. Having experienced divorce, I can tell y'all that it is absolutely excruciating, the most painful experience of my life. Even more than my mom's death (and that was…
1) Your two conceivable options (a. she doesn't know everyone isn't wealthy, or b. she's lording it over us) are kind of short sighted and miss the obvious third option: She is writing for an audience, and that audience isn't you. There are lots of affluent people, and those people love "curated recommendations." Goop…
Find it interesting that all of the Gwyneth/GOOP haters find time to actually read Paltrow, read this article, keep up with GOOP, and then find time to respond and comment.
I'm not sure the vitriol directed at Paltrow has anything to do with her lifestyle guru thing, although it will be used as an excuse for hating on her.
I haven't ever understood the Gwyn hate. She is out of touch, but I have seriously SCOURED the goop website for any insinuation that she is better than us. Her recommendations are ridic, but if anything, she just reminds me of the loveably clueless trust fund friend who does not understand why we don't all just quit…
I don't think a 10 year marriage is failure. They both live high pressure lives (even if the pressure is often created by their own hubris) and maybe they grew apart. Maybe they're different people now then they were 10 years ago and they don't relate the same way? Maybe they have different priorities and goals now.…
