This isn’t some grand revelation, nor do I think the authors - either Megan or Emily - are treating it as such.

Indeed:

......rittenhouse murders people “in self defense” he is freed, named a hero. woman with documented genital scares from abuse is jailed.....intersectionality indeed...its the deemest of lights but if that asshole can get off then we MUST DEMAND the same for domestic violence victims

Brody has been featured as a fashion model in plenty of advertisements.

The issue isn’t the “commodification” of her looks/body though and it’s weird to me how modern feminism seems to be focused around that bit (see SWERFs). The issue is that most routes for that are still on the terms of men given who owns the platforms used.

“I’m trying to succeed in a capitalist system,” she writes in My Body. “But that doesn’t mean I like the game.”

well, i certainly do

I can’t post the link but new Gawker had a piece on it a few days ago. It sounds like they simultaneously got rid of a bunch of people and wanted more content produced? Meanwhile Rich is still here writing really long boring pieces on stuff no one cares about.

Do you think Kim Kardashian is looking for someone for the long haul, after years spent married to Kanye? 

Kate Beckinsale said that he’s just a genuinely nice guy, and that people don’t seem to believe that that sort of thing carries a lot of weight when dating.

Oh boy I forgot about that - what a deep cut and I live for this kind of petty.

Or this is Pete exerting revenge on Kanye for  sticking him with that dinner bill last year 

I think he has that funny/not “normal” attractive/troubled which means he is sexy/slightly dangerous/sad puppy thing going for him. I married one of those. It has been....ok. (should have just stuck to lots of hot sex)

You really can’t turn this around into ‘perhaps it is u who are petty’ - the guy gleefully harassed and targeted minorities, and much of his anguish was that his website matured (to a degree) while he didn’t. The Something Awful website bankrolled his entire lifestyle even as he grifted and complained server costs…

I thought the brilliance of the meat dress is it literally doesn’t need interpretation. As in, she has literally made herself meat, both objectified and used without empathy for the origin, no longer human.

Personally, I think its intentional. He’s a massive piece of shit and I believe 100%, he would say something like this on purpose. Allegedly, he wants ton of children, as all toxic Christians do, is being groomed for a political career, and again allegedly, left Anna after she had miscarriage. 

Anytime I see a Davidson lovelife story, I think “What do these women see in that guy?” Then I remember the women who dated me back in the day and the mystery dissipates.

Tall, lanky, hung, laid back and funny/sensitive is a type, and you’re either into it or you’re not. I dated variations of Petes from about age 16 to 30. I think he’s cute and if I were 25 today I’d probably be crazy about him.

I was the subject of a minor hit song in the punk scene about 10 years ago. I did do something wrong and that’s why I could never bring myself to listen to the whole thing. I imagine Nick Lachey knows he was wrong too, even if this reads like he thinks the book might be exaggerated.
