Adele's celebratory Instagram spurred compliments and criticism that are just as sexist as Donald Trump's comments about Donna Reed.
Elizabeth Warren may not have secured the nomination Wednesday, but she proved that a female presidential candidate can throw fire without getting burned.and now she is having the “What It Means To Be a Woman” baton forced into her hand by Donna Reed, whoand still can’t get out of being trotted forth for the purpose of sexist arguments, should someone feel so inclined.
Though I personally want to thank President Trump for making his reductive remark because, I am ashamed to admit, I did not know much at all about Donna Reed and now I know how cool she was. What’s not cool is judging women by any socio-political image — historic or contemporary, traditional or reactionary — that is not applied, in the same measure and with the same meaning, to men. Because that is the definition of sexism, whether you’re “expressing concern” for your favorite star’s welfare or the state of the body politic.While cutting through the strangling net of one ideal — polished perfection — we’ve thrown ourselves into another: standard-busting rebel.
And frankly, I don’t know anyone living who, after putting in the work to lose weight or get toned or wear a nice dress or change their hairstyle or get a new tattoo, doesn’t want a few compliments. I know we’re all feeling the pressure of shutdown, but come on.Happy belated birthday, Adele. You look great. As per usual. Now when’s that new record dropping?
