I don't think Lady Gaga would even be around if there were no Kathleen Hanna or Le Tigre?

I dragged my friend to see Pink Flamingos as a midnite movie and she wrote me an email from home the next day informing me that she could never eat eggs again.

Didn't they already make a documentary about Divine with John Waters & all the other Dreamlanders? "Divine Trash"? Come to think of it I guess that documentary was really more about John Waters.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Nice.

I was so blown away by that quote that I clicked the article to see just who could say such a stupid thing ... only to find that Fox News-the-entity did not say that. Some MRA d-bag they interviewed for the article said that. I really do not want to defend right-wing crazy ass Fox News, and if we want to criticize…

I don't exactly "like" her myself and find her kind of underwhelming as a comedic presence, but here on Jezebel that kind of criticism is consistently eschewed to snark on her for doing shit in bikinis or whatever.

Well that's the thing about Olivia Munn though. The reaction from Jezebel didn't exactly prove her wrong on that point. It's one thing to say "Yo, this chick ain't funny!" but when you start snarking on her for being in those nakey PETA ads and selling a Carl's Jr. hamburger in a bikini (as if she's the only woman…

I have to say, I don't know that the Gwynnie haterade gets to me because I truly believe GOOP to be as ridiculous as some say it is and that she needs to get a sense of humor about that shit. Co-signed on the others, though.

I'm not disagreeing with your general point but a. What exactly is "palatable" about the outraged tone of a lot of the articles here?, and b. I don't think anyone would mistake Courtney Love for an academic or radical feminist.

Well, we're not, obviously

I actually think Rebecca Walker falls outside the "rebelling from mom" thing. She's estranged from her mother; These other two aren't. A lot of what she writes isn't necessarily in direct conflict with what her mother writes, either — the bitterness only seems to come out when she's writing about their relationship.

To be fair, I think most people — at least to a certain age, when they can become less sheltered — probably think their parents' values are representative of dominant values while growing up. And if your parents are famous and being praised by the press and stuff, then I can see how that idea could also be reinforced.…

Hearted.

This seems to be a trend of its own among the daughters of famous second wave feminists. Katie Roiphe is another one that seems to be in a constant rebellion against her famous feminist mom, what with the whole "Date rape? Who even does that anymore?!" stance. And then there's the piece Rebecca Walker also wrote for…

Coffee milk does not make anyone a bad mom.

For example, if you want to live ethically and be able to afford it but can't afford it if you have children, don't have children yet.

Dudes like girls who are "one of the guys"?! Color me SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I tell you!

It's excellent that you've been able to avoid spending money at big evil corporate chains. It's insulting, however, that you think this is within everyone else's means. To bring up the original point: Do you live in a city or do you live in a small town? What sort of employment do you have, and is there a dress code…

I think ethical consumption is a great way to show that there is an active (and profitable!) resistance to the sort of cutthroat practices employed by most corporations these days. But that's it. It's not going to turn the tide or put an end to these kinds of practices all by itself, and it just isn't as accessible…

No. This is the kind of oversimplification & reductive thinking I'm talking about — I can't just shop at a thrift store. I work for a living, and for my job I need clothes I can wear to work that are clean, blandly attractive enough not to put off parents but contemporary enough for teens to take me seriously and make…
