Sady Doyle: With Much Love to Lovely Friends Who Have Made This Critique:
I dislike any critique of a famous woman that boils down to “she seems too perfect!” Because that just seems like women revolting against the beauty standard and/or the expectation that we’ll all be perfect little dolls with no inconvenient needs or feelings. But it doesn’t have anything to do…
are there people who hate natalie portman because she seems too perfect? i dunno i’ve always thought terrible acting was a sign of imperfection.
ETA that the point in general is really sound even though i am kind of uncomfortable not with hating on taylor swift in general but on hating on her for being weird about the sex thing at the age of twenty, because i dunno, i’ve known twenty-year-olds who are weird about the sex thing, and, whatever. people come from a lot of different backgrounds. but that’s my own weird thing i’m still parsing out my feelings about. so yeah the post in general is good. but natalie portman is like the most overrated actress not named scarlett johansson ever and now she has an oscar.
