Feminism has helped me believe my voice matters, even in this world where there are so many voices demanding to be heard. Feminism has certainly helped me find my voice. How do we bring attention to these issues? How do we do so in ways that will actually be heard? How do we find the necessary language for talking about the inequalities and injustices women face, both great and small? As I’ve gotten older, feminism has answered these questions, at least in part.įeminism is flawed, but it offers, at its best, a way to navigate this shifting cultural climate. Rarely do women get to be the center of attention. When women are involved, they are sidekicks, the romantic interests, the afterthoughts. Movies, more often than not, tell the stories of men as if men’s stories are the only stories that matter. Singers like Robin Thicke know “we want it.” Rappers like Jay-Z use the word “bitch” like punctuation. We have all manner of music glorifying the degradation of women, and damnit, that music is catchy so I often find myself singing along as my very being is diminished. We have a comedian asking his fans to touch women lightly on their stomachs because ignoring personal boundaries is oh so funny. The cultural climate is shifting, particularly for women as we contend with the retrenchment of reproductive freedom, the persistence of rape culture, and the flawed if not damaging representations of women we’re consuming in music, movies, and literature. These bewildering changes often leave us raw. it shows this insane kind of entitlement that she can get all the attention, sympathy, accolades etc for being publicly "vulnerable" but never have address any part of it that makes her feel actual discomfort or shame.The world changes faster than we can fathom in ways that are complicated.

She seems more like she had extremely abusive/neglectful parents who threw money at all her problems as a child and she now has a severe personality disorder.Įdit: its so fucking weird to me that she would write about her brother but not mention that he killed himself.

All of the shit in the new yorker review you linked to seems like it is badly written fiction. Did you ever read the Oyler criticism of Bad Feminist? I see it referenced all the time but I think the original host site shut down and I can't find it anywhere. Yeah it is very annoying and weird when people who base their entire career and public image on talking about themselves and their insecurities, traumas, deep personal issues etc but then leave out certain very pertinent details. has anyone read her book and does she even talk about her family or how they did or didnt support her emotionally after the rape? Also, her adult brother killed himself recently. I havent read her books and just know about the rape details from a short article. And her entire origin story is based on being a kid in a family so rich that they can afford to send their daughter to a $45k per year boarding school but also somehow allowed her to be unsupervised in a cabin in the woods with a group of boys who raped her at age 12?! There is an interesting book there but its not about fat acceptance or intersectionality or whatever the fuck. Theres something so uniquely strange about this woman. The interviewer calls her collection "incredible" based on the 5 names she dropped and then she says how proud of it she is! She does the preamble about prioritizing "black" (like the fat white girl in the sandwich sign dress art near the bottom) artists then immediately brags about owning their two Lichtensteins and says he is her number one artist "even though its cliche". I honestly was triggered when i read this horrible artsy profile.
