“Why is (white) western post-modern feminism so focused on “loving our bodies,” rather than loving our minds?”

“A very specific example of this is, “I am a feminist and I choose to be a submissive wife.” Well, ok, sure, that can be valid. But if women choosing to be submissive is valid, would that also mean that a man choosing to be the dominant, pants wearing, decision making husband also valid?”

“she could only frame the sexuality of another feminist as being solely for the male gaze.”

“She had no problem bashing Beyoncé’s sexuality as a conflict with her feminism, but when it’s her, all of a sudden it’s about freedom, liberation and equality.”

“She’s not half naked. She’s also not even close to topless. Part of her breasts are exposed and the center of her midriff is exposed. She’s also not posed in a sexualized way; she’s posed with direct gaze in a fairly strong pose.”

Wow. I really respect that. I usually just feel silly.

Feminism is about—I think—letting women regulate their own bodies.

Yeah, this seems to be looking for a reason to criticize her. I don’t think the two statements are at all contradictory.

Except those rehearsals are usually more for camera assignment and logistics like who comes from which entrance. More like tech rehearsals, which aren’t really for the actors’ performances.

“Am I reading this right? After the most recent updates, it’s said that Emma’s publicist had her card? This was an intentional attempt at a fucking by Beatty and Dunaway?”

“The real blame should placed on Beatty and company.”

Now we know how they would have rectified it - somebody from PWC would have alerted the show’s producers, who would have gone onstage.

“I think that I have read some where that that isn’t the first time that has happened before”

I’m sure that conspiracy theory sounded good at 2:26 am...

There are two copies of every envelope - PWC has a representative on each side of the stage. That rep gave Beatty the wrong envelope.

Of course there’s more information now.

“Is it so crazy to think that after Moonlight was voted the winner that they staged something so that everyone, even casual observers and those who didn’t even watch the show, would know they gave the biggest award of the night to Moonlight?”

“She couldn’t hit the pause button”

“You know what I find interesting? That the announcer went through talking how La La Land won so many awards and tied a record. Like she was reading from a script. Or is she just really good at math and Oscar trivia? This makes me think either this was all planned or that that she has a script for every possible…

The crazy part is the Emma Stone is now reporting that she had her winning envelope in her hand the whole time. No one just left it laying around for a dotty old man or a stupid stagehand to mess it up.
