This is a terrific piece, provocative, soulful and smart. I’m loving some of the well thought out dissent as well. It’s all over twitter and that place has been easily distracted lately. Arguing over its content seems pointless - too consumed with my childrens’ dystopian future, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road style. I do…

No shit. Kendzior in particular. I’d add @RVAwonk. to the list as well.

So has he. Now what?

Will Theyskens give you any class or grace?

This right here has been a thing of hilarious beauty.

Jia: I hope you’re proud of this piece. Also the “fuck off” you served. Thank you.

It is difficult for me to believe I walk amongst people like you. People who think that what they ‘saw’ or what showed up on their facebook feed trumps evidence. I’m embarrassed on your behalf.

Freedom to think and to choose is sometimes expensive. We retain our right to fuck up.

He's treated so poorly here, belittled constantly. I'm sure he deserves the relentless bullying he gets - I mean, how else to explain this continual group spew of vitriol? He deserves it. <satisfied sigh> It's so much easier (on the bully) when the abuse is deserved. Or you could just call it 'honesty'. That…

Dammit, I liked that sentence.

They are intelligent *enough* not to have their thoughts dismissed as idiotic. People care what celebrities think because their views are widely disseminated and we get to congregate around the fire (at sites like Jezebel, and look! here YOU are) to analyze, fight, agree, discuss and learn. The thoughts celebrities…

Boom. I don't know any off campus woman in her twenties who would slap that label on herself. Is it misguided not to want to associate with something that's seen as manufacturing the kind of vitriol feminism does? No. Celebrities are just mirroring the culture at large here.

Yes, they do. The women listed in the article are generally intelligent and have been exposed to a lot. I think they simply don't want to wholeheartedly align with feminism because the decibel/snarl level of the discourse, at times, is something many women (young especially) don't want to participate in. (Please don't…

I think the point is that the label of feminism causes a visceral revulsion by many (most?) mainstream women - not just celebrities. It's not a new criticism.

Yeah. Because now she's going to make some really positive contributions. Just you watch as this innocent child woman blazes new trails.

My theory is that brushing simply loosens the hair enough so that, once you get back inside, it EXPLODES into the environment. I brush her, bathe her, use the appropriate utensils. I echo your frustrating HOW and add WHY? What is the purpose of this endless cascade of insidious hair? It's insane. I can't even wear…

I laughed!

I have a spitz - American Eskimo dog. She looks like a smaller version of 'Jon's' dog. My beef with her is singular. It's the shedding. Unbelievable. I've had many different breeds and she is by far the most extreme. I won't shave her (not that she'd permit this obscenity) so I vacuum but that's a small price to pay…

Yes, that one too. Young woman, confident, independent, fearless, just doing her thing and boom - shattered. Hopefully not for long but stuff like that gets folded in to your worldview for life.
