Brava. I first saw your comment and thought "holy fuck this is long." Then I read it, and it's perfect.
And how does a person respond to something like this? How does a woman who started reading this website as a teenager, who used to seek refuge here when her ideas about gender and equality were shot down by her friends, peers, and sometimes even family, who for some reason imagined this place as being a center for…
WHY AREN'T WE DISCUSSING HOW HILARIOUS IT IS THAT TYLER PERRY IS NOMINATED FOR WORST ACTRESS??? I love that so hard, for real. The Razzies are beautiful. Also, Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock, winning their oscars and Razzies in the same year, never forget....
