Hiya! What’s the weather like in Moscow?!

It’s a little disturbing that she didn’t pick up on the most obvious trolling possible, and she’s a teacher.

Right. Wow. There is literally no demographic on Earth given more latitude to act silly and vain than young white women.

No, he probably wouldn’t. That is why context - or just facts - matters. These women fit right in the demographic that seems by far to take the most selfies. And those selfies are typically about getting attention for looking cute. So, he is making a pretty reasonable assumption. Would you put money on him being…

Wow. It is a pretty absurd frenzy of selfie taking; a little ribbing is totally appropriate. Not everything is the patriarchy rearing its head.

No, I bet he doesn’t. Thats why he is guessing. Do you think he’s wrong though? Do you really think those women wouldn’t have taken a good number of selfies even if there were no promotion.?

Good heavens. On its face (pardon the pun), their selfie-taking frenzy is eye-catching. Plus, selfie-taking itself is silly, childish, and pretty darn vain and narcissistic. All in all, giving them a ribbing about it is totally reasonable.

But, good Lord, people aren’t saying these women don’t have the right to act like that. People are saying they’re immature and narcissistic, not criminal, for choosing to do so. That’s all.

Uh, what? “Traditionalist ideas” would *expect* women to be shallow, air headed and self-obsessed about their appearance. This silly selfie tableau would be par for the expected course, according to “traditionalist ideas.” Right?

It’s not that they weren’t paying attention to the game. But you know that, right??

Here’s why: It was an incredibly comical display of narcissism. SNL could hardly dream up a selfie skit that embarrassing.

That hasn't affected Alabama, USC, or Oklahoma, to name a few.

I hope you didn’t take my comment as doubting your description of foolery’s commenting history. I don’t. I was just clarifying that my comment was a response to the comments in this thread and nothing else.

I do not know about foolery’s commenting history. I reacted only to the responses to his particular comment above.

Seems like a lot of the programs most popular among women audiences devote a lot of plot, screen time, etc. to the characters’ boning. Gray’s Anatomy and Scandal, for examples. ABC probably believes it is sticking to a solid formula.

Truly, your white Western female privilege is glaring.

How about reading foolery85032’s comment reasonably, not literally?

Do you really think foolery85032 is saying his point is 100% applicable? Ya think maybe he was stating a generally valid point, with plenty of exceptions?

Why so ugly and nasty?

It is. A lot of black women, in particular, who pull their hair back end up dealing with this receding hairline situation :/
