Part of the problem, of course, is the distinct possibility Bowman will continue to push this agenda on her own children, deeply ingraining in them unrealistic expectations and the idea that they’re worth less if they’re sexually active before marriage, regardless of other positive attributes...or the fact that these

Chrissy Teigen isn't demanding people recognize her for being a super-special feminist though. She keeps it real: she is a model and she is married to John Mayer. She isn't trying to act like she got famous being a feminist: she acknowledges that feminism is something she is new to and that she didn't invent it.

How about she doesn’t take credit for the Toronto Slutwalk? How about she doesn’t add a VIP to what was supposed to be an inclusive event?

I am a tall black woman living in the Midwest who likes Jezebel despite its New York centric view.

Who is Jenny Lewis?

Why isn’t “Amber Rose: speaker and activist” enough to warrant a public profile?

So how many models who have Amber’s body of work get their own book deal? How many are this famous?

It matters because she now wants to be famous for that. What made her this level of famous was fucking Kanye and Wiz and being really beautiful. Lots of other women have said as much and way more than Amber and are no where near her level of fame. She wants us to act like she is famous because she is feminist. She

To who though? Like, so she was this famous before she fucked Kanye and Wiz? No, she wasn't. Most people only know who she is through that, she doesn't get to just do the bare minimum amount of work in feminism and suddenly we should only care about that.

Ok, but how many women who were modeling and doing rap videos achieved Amber Rose’s level of stardom for modeling and doing rap videos?

I was under the impression that her modeling career happened after Kanye, not before. And even then, lots of women are models: few women get famous as Rose when they are *just* models. Few women do a slutwalk and have thoughts on feminism and get famous either.

EXACTLY. Everything Amber Rose is that is NOT the part about her fucking Kanye and Wiz doesn’t make her famous. Lots of women do SlutWalks and talk about feminism and are not famous.

The thing is, Amber Rose is not saying anything new or original in feminism. Her SlutWalk was just someone else’s idea, “hosted by Amber Rose.”

Amber Rose certainly doesn’t regret her past, but she also doesn’t think that being a stripper and dating rappers precludes her from being known for other things.

Usually its because they did not have great parents, and couple it with the particular way that socially awkward males are treated as children, they basically grow up without friends and social skills. Not all socially awkward males, obviously, but just enough.

There is a special place in hell for women who say that. I'm certain gen-pop hell is just men who say it, but how can a woman in 2015 actually believe that?

I knew a couple like that. Their son grew up very angry and distant. When he was 16 they bought him a used Ford Focus to get around in: when their daughter turned 16 they bought her a band new Mercury Mountaineer SUV with literally all the options and a $15k Sweet 16 birthday party. She was “their little princess1!!!”

More coverage of Lupita, please? Like she is in the new Star Wars and I haven't heard about her in it yet and we should definitely be hearing about Lupita in Star Wars.

Crap.
