Seriously! For chrissakes the internet is not new, grown ass people-particularly professionals-should not still be making these foot in mouth judgement errors. Say it to a close friend, a partner, or a therapist. Someone who knows the green eyed monster isn’t who you are all the time. Maybe it’s just me but I’d never…

Seriously. File this under: “If you can’t say anything nice”...she is coming off like a bratty loser. Not a good look.

This. Especially the crack about how maybe Doyle got the pick because she’s an attractive white lady. If you realize that it’s untrue and crazy, then shut your mouth. Saying it that way is like when trump makes a suggestion and goes “wouldn’t that be something?” It does the same petty damage.

I had a knee-jerk negative reaction to the title “Love Warrier”.

Yeah, I mean, her audience isn’t the type that takes too kindly to insulting Oprah.

Just wanted to go on record and tell you all that In Her Shoes is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

Wow. It is too early in the day/week to have to read that pile of garbage coming out of that woman’s mouth.

Well, I am very upset that Oprah has not selected my book for her next book club offering. I haven’t actually written it yet, but still, I am filled with fuming fury!!

and also:

Yup. While I appreciate her confessional and have felt the same way too many times, this essay comes across as a blatant plea for sympathy and compliments. It’s the same thing my middle school students do: “This essay totally sucks, and I totally suck by extension, right? [Please tell me I’m awesome and do not suck!]”

I love her work. Good in Bed really resonated with me and I understand her frustration at the “chick lit” label. Seems like it doesn’t matter what the subject is, if it was written by a woman about women then it’s “chick lit” which is stupid.

Weiner’s books are like cotton candy to me - pure fluff that I’m only interested in once every few years. She should consider herself very lucky considering that she’s a rare unicorn who actually manages to make a fantastic living as a fiction author.

I am having a hard time feeling sorry for her. She strikes me as kind of petty and a touch narcissistic. I’m sure her books are great (I haven’t read them though), but her attitude leaves something to be desired in my book. <— HAHA see what I did there? {sigh} Yeah, I know, my jokes suck.

Jennifer Weiner manages to have a problem with any writer who isn’t Jennifer Weiner.

Was there shadenfreude, involved? ;)

Thank you.

Kara, I just want you to know that I had a dream the other night in which someone said something shady, and I put my hand to my chest, looked at my best girlfriend, and said, “Did she just?” And she said, “I think she did.”

and, by extension, we can all enjoy them as well.

well you are free to enjoy your wedgies and camel toes all you want.

I have never had any interest whatsoever in a threesome. I’m not morally opposed but I suspect it’s like showering with a partner—one of you is always standing away from the water, feeling chilly with shampoo in your hair.
