Definitely not surprising. I’ve seen various versions of this “joke” over the years. The message is that women should be grateful that a man deigns to marry her. That way of sexist thinking ignores, study after study has show that men benefit more from marriage than women do. Men being takers and not givers probably a…

for everyone confused its a saterical line from a scene in the video it is not her telling people in honesty to change but a direct jab at what the industry does to stars all the time.

This is my continual complaint when I do not find a joke funny. People either say that I’m “too PC” or that I “didn’t get the joke.” No, I got it. It’s not funny: it’s a bad joke.

Absolutely—it’s like graduation announcements; they exist to remind you what your cousin’s kid looks like while reminding you they are a big fan of Amazon gift cards.

I’ve never been sure what actual purpose engagement photos are meant to serve, but I guess it’s probably to introduce yourself to the world, as a couple.

I bet she was all choked up when he proposed.

I would love to be hiding under the dress at my own wedding.

Yes I’m agreeing with you on the Jezebel commentariat. I’m also extending it to Jezebel itself, which imo deliberately fans the flames of out-of-context over-reaction in the way they write the articles (leaving pertinent stuff out).

Hot take: Yeah “skinny shaming,” especially in the dance industry, is complete and utter bullshit. To me it’s like when white people claim “reverse racism.” Just because someone called you anorexic once, while shitty, doesn’t mean it’s the same as what overweight/obese people/people with nonstandard figures experience…

They don’t call it a “job” for nothing.

Maybe it’s just tacky?

Yepppp this 100x. Basically, it says if you’re in a hetero coupling, the woman is doomed for more emotional labor. Maybe I’m stretching it by including BJs into that, but it is still work!

That photo represents that “Love is real”? Really? Because to me it says more likely that “love is not very often reciprocated”

Matching pearl necklaces for them all.

That’s not what she meant. #phrasing

I feel like there must be some tongue-in-cheek context for that comment: Self effacing (“You’re all so lean, you’ll make me look huge lol!”) or libertarian (“Treat yoself this week—I’m not a regular pop star, I’m a cool pop star.”) or whatever. I blame the NYT writer because “in classic form” means nothing to us when…

I would have appreciated a translation for this. And that first sentence was confusing. I thought she meant that the bride was “fake” and I’m thinking “So he’s marrying a blow-up doll?”

Why is she wearing a wedding dress for an engagement photo?

I don’t think there was enough context here.

Her bridesmaids better watch out if she offers them wedding day facials.
