HOT TAKE: Susan Sarandon can kick rocks.
I hate her. First acting like HRC was worse than Trump and now passive aggressively dissing national treasure Cher? FUCK YOU, SUSAN.
Everyone loves fall, and I think the reason because we crave connection with nature. The other seasons sort of slide into each other - mushy winter into wet spring, wet spring into summer thunderstorms - but fall generally ARRIVES, with either a nip in the air or lowering of temperatures from fucking hot to generally…
I feel like I’ve seen this trend become a thing during my lifetime and I saw it as a pushback against the summer culture that reigned in the 80s and 90s. Women started enjoying a season where we get to be less social, more comfortably dressed and eating rich, delicious foods with less judgement from those around us. Su…
Despite all of this, fall is still the best season, and Thanksgiving is still our best public holiday.
I am 100% a white suburban housewife who loves fall and sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. IDK how this article got into Thanksgiving? Which, while technically in the fall is just a dress rehearsal for Christmas. The secret is, I live in Georgia. In the fall, it is the end of 4+ months of temperatures over 90 and all…
As she shouldn’t
It’s weird to think about anyone but Bette Midler, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn in First Wives Club. You can’t really swap Sarandon in for any of them. I’m guessing she was probably up for the role Midler ended up playing, but who knows?
“I don’t want to be in something where women are tearing down other women”
Jesus christ she was in a high school republican club and you’re gonna hold that against her as “shady”? Fuck me. You hated her for “a billion reasons” yet you chose to highlight that one? Sure it’s not misogyny, though.
And ditch their code words “likability” and “economic anxiety”. FFS.
Yeah, nevermind that she grew up middle class in the midwest with a small business owner and homemaker as her parents. She is literally exactly what these people want in a childhood background, yet somehow she doesn’t fit the bill and isn’t “nice.” Hmmm... I wonder what could possibly be the reason for that. I wonder,…
Which has been my frustration this year. As much as I would’ve given my right arm to watch Warren clean Trump’s clock... I’m now down to admitting that Biden *had* to be the nominee. Because the bottom line is that *somehow* (DESPITE all the handsiness!!!) he’s just so inoffensive.
What I’ve found is super fun is to ask whoever it is complaining about the 4 dead in Benghazi to give their names.
Except she grew up middle-class just like Biden
The issue is with this part of the sentence “...I saw her as not a very nice person. I don’t know how to explain it.” You don’t see a lot of people talking about whether male candidates are “nice” or not.
Well. It contrasts people’s view of Hilary as a nasty power-grubbing woman and ole’ Uncle Joe being a regular guy like one of us who earned his way to that power.
Yes HRC’s base knows misogyny played a major role in her loss. It’s not as widely acknowledged as this article implies. Just because it’s exhausting does not mean it should not be called out and shamed. The patriarchy is systemic and pervasive. We shouldn’t weary of calling misogyny by its name.
I don’t think Harris or Warren (or any of the prominent Democratic women candidates) could win the Presidency in 2020. I don’t know whether they can in 2024 either. There are plenty of women, too, who just ‘feel more comfortable’ with a man in the White House. It’s maddening.
