A most excellent read of Mayim. Dressed all the way down. /snaps

where the primary female character’s individuality is so unimportant, she doesn’t have a last name.
My in-laws love it, so if we’re visiting, I’m forced into watching it. It is just horrible.
You just wrote an amazing outline for a post that Mayim can’t write because she clearly lacks basic self reflection skills. The fact that she was not sexually assaulted meant she was lucky, and instead of realizing that, she decided to look down on the “pretty” girls. Just disgusting.
I can’t watch it knowing how many good shows died for that to remain
“Instead, I’d wager that this was a thinly veiled attempt to feel vindicated for being rejected according to Hollywood’s ‘impossible standard of beauty.’”
I don’t know how she did it, but prior to this essay she managed to receive praise from “liberals” and always seemed to gain their praise. I’ve read other writing of hers, and I was only surprised by how blatant the victim blaming and such in her essay.
I feel like she wasted an opportunity to address how some men have no interest in interacting with women in a non sexual way and how sometimes you escape being a victim and sometimes your career stalls cause you are ignored. And how women judge each other for it. We internalize it and blame eachother. We need to have…
That show trades in on stereotypes on all levels that I’m still surprised that she fixed her fingers to type out anything but derision for it.
There is so much wrong with that show, I don’t even know where to begin.
I think LaineyGossip said something very astute about the whole thing. They said something to the effect of Blossom stays mad that her career is a non factor based on how she looks. The article isn’t really about sexual assault it’s about her re airing her hurt. Which is obvious, but here is where lainey turns it.
Mayim has bugged me for years - I appreciate that she’s a successful woman in STEM, but she’s still super-overprivileged crunchy granola lady who comes off as being really judgey, particularly when it comes to Things Domestic, like raising kids. Like, I don’t even *want* kids, and her op-eds about co-sleeping and…
I was talking about this with a friend. I read it and eye-rolled so hard.
Good ass article...because I been trying to figure out why I was even bothered by what she wrote. I’m usually a “who fucking cares what Blossom has to say lmao, y’all serious?” type of person.
Blossom straight tripping
Over the past two weeks on the heels of the Harvey Weinstein travesty, I’ve noticed a trend. And I have a question…
I mean, they’re silent when black women are harassed, but they finally have something to say when they want to say it. So there’s that.
they will break anyone’s back while stepping on it, all in order to maintain whatever it is they think they deserve.
We all know that bargain bin Sinead O’Connor feels in her heart that she’s on the same level of oppression as Black people compared to White men. I really wish that White women would stop with this shit. Being Black and being a woman are both oppressive, but they can be combined.
Also, the pure, distilled irony she was swimming in there sort of blew my mind, as half the people she had spent the last week dragging on Twitter, were being dragged specifically for ignoring longstanding problems and refusing to “just come out and say what you did wrong”.
