No, I think she meant more like, when you ask the question, “Why is X famous?” the conventional answer is usually framed through a certain chain of events that creates the most correct answer. For instance, “Why is Mila Kunis famous?” “Well, she was on That ‘70s show when she was a teenager, and then starting doing…

And yet people in the last post about this were claiming that it couldn’t be racist to have Rose be called “baby mama” because she is white. Please let them read this article too....

Amber became known because of the famous men she dated, but has since built her own brand and is someone with a lot of important things to say, especially about feminism. But her past relationships and previous jobs are still used to define and ultimately overshadow her and her efforts, as opposed to things like…

my honest to god first reaction when my boss said that biden wasn’t running was “poor CNN”

If you’re having a bad day, I strongly suggest going to The Onion and typing “Joe Biden” into the search bar. Never fails to crack me up.
