But this isn’t what we complain about. It’s not the ogling that’s the problem - it’s the domination and assumption of power and control over the female body that accompanies that is the issue.

Wait are you really trying to use an example from how she interacts with her sisters? Sisterhood is its own special, brutal, beautiful thing. That’s like a whole other ball game.

Thank youuuu.

Kim seems really sweet and kind actually, though? Vain but sweet

Kim Kardashian may be shallow and vain, but she’s never been unkind to people. The cruel mocking seems unnecessary. But then I suppose you need web traffic, and mocking her provides you with a ton of it! (I promise she can still get you clicks without reverting to full on asshole humiliating mean girl territory).

Yum. And I usually don’t find him hot. At all.

Why “love and adoration” for women and not “respect for” women? I find it a discomfiting word choice. He respected women’s talent - “love” should be mentioned but “adored” is somehow uncomfortable in context - I’ve heard “love and adored” used to describe the feelings sexist men have for women who yet lack respect for…

A disproportionate amount of commenters are Jewish - smart women with a sense of humor who don’t tolerate bull? No way! ; )

I don’t think so, because it’s early enough in the century that 40s will stil sound 20th century to people. I think it’s a closing-in-on-the-future thing. But only time we’ll tell.

“It’s the 90s.” In what other decade did people so frequently declare such a thing? What about that decade made people feel like they has reached some height of progressive change - the future of the people?! Music? Sex? The Internet? Something about the Clinton era? Or just that it was the last decade in a century?

I'd usually argue that people are emotionally stunted at the age which they became famous...but she was nearly 30 when that happened so there's really no excuse.

She does seem to get off on people thinking she’s like a terrorist.

But I never said anyone said #alllivesmatter. No one did. That is silencing. Someone wrote “unity!” And that was the response, which I think is a reduction of intersectionalism. I’m an intersectional feminist who recognizes we need alliances. And I never said MIA shouldn’t be called out. She should. It was a bullshit,…

And yet when you make calls/asks to stop the oppression Olympics, leftists often shout “fuck unity - another way to ignore POC!” (saw this in graffiti on a bathroom wall once...)

*some people can’t stand feminists

Um *raises hand* all women's college - not my experience! (I transferred so it wouldn't be)

Seems like she’s stuck in the worried/domesticating/put-open wife role though. “Oh honey, don’t.

Even out of context, though, the “pop stars should be pretty” hit on Gaga is pretty telling.

Her response to that fact - and the fact of sweatshops, which imho is more egregious - was such bullshit.

You are right to be concerned for them. A moment of silence for their impoverishment.
