Probably more like give her magical adventures because she has a pretty dress that will lend itself first towards fantastic imaginative play, and then learning more about the life of the real person the doll represents and maybe getting into art or learning about Kahlo’s politics or Mexican culture.

How do you think she would have felt about a blockbuster Miramax/Harvey Weinstein movie where she’s portrayed by a supermodel-gorgeous actress? Rhetorical question, but Salma Hayek’s protests seem particularly ridiculous to me.
Sorry, but I’m not with Salma on this one. They eyebrow thing; yeah, they should redo it.
These days most people are fired or laid-off with no notice or final work period (you are told you’re done and security escorts you to your desk/cubicle/office for you to retrieve your personal belongings and then escorts you out of the office/building/premises). You do not even get an opportunity to walk around and…
Because many Mexican-American girls would enjoy playing “brilliant Mexican Woman Artist” the same way generations of WASPy girls had tea parties and ‘overnights’ with lilly white Barbie?
How do you know she didn’t quit in anticipation of being fired, something that happens all the time? You’re making a lot of assumptions.
Because it’s dismissive of actual gender identity issues, illustrates that the author doesn’t actually grasp or care about them, and instead isnot doing the level of research he should in order to NOT create more confusion in the large audience his words reach.
Exactly. The whole “tip treasure hunt” thing just stinks of “sing for your supper, peasant.” Marie Antoinette’s like, “Damn! Wish I’d thought of that.”
I see where Oprah thinks it’s fun, but making the cleaning staff go on an Easter Egg hunt for their tip seems demeaning.
💯I second all of this. The Root writers are far more invested in what they write, and so much of what they turn out is just extraordinary. I find myself skipping entire posts on Jezebel just to get to the comments faster. I don’t even comment much anymore, but I will still read all the comments must to remain…
this is intensely heartbreaking. I’m just a random deadspin dude that occasionally wanders over to jezebel articles but I saw this and just wanted to say that you’re one of the few usernames/avatars that I recognize from seeing great comments from you before. You seem really cool and smart. hope you’re doing ok
That’s that actor’s name! I always think of him when I see Sessions, or this one really hammy cop on Live PD.
It’s usually used for people who are non-binary and/or have an idiosyncratic pronoun preference.
According to Peyton’s original instagram post, the Duffer Bros were “verbally abusive” (not further specified) towards women on set. And I feel like—maybe it’s the cynic in me—directors are often “verbally abusive” towards lots of people on sets? Like, film sets are high-stress environments and you’re working to…
Your perspective is so valuable and important. And not just in terms of incarceration, poverty, addiction — though that is illuminating — but because of who you are, your dedication, your great heart and capacity for objective, unflinching self-reflection.
This is that which irked me almost above anything else in the International Women’s Day blogpost about how we should honour the brave writers at Jezebel for their tireless service to womankind.
Jez has always had a condescending attitude towards their commenteriat. It’s seriously misguided because most of us come here for the community and not the authors. I barely notice the bylines but I remember the insightful commenters.
It’s true for all of us.
I feel like the actor playing Jared should have a much blander face than Shia LaBouef. I don’t have any other suggestions because so can’t think of anyone is Hollywood whose face is the equivalent Cream of Wheat.
