at women's expense



A good message... but did we really have to make it memorable/dignified at the "guilty" girl's expense? Because calling someone out isn't enough-- you also have to insult their clothing (cue humiliation factor) to make it a worthy punch. It is a relief to see celebrities acknowledging the grammar behind discrimination, but was belittling female relationships (and making cattiness not only trendy but also righteous) really the path to take? Let's move away from sacrificing young women for the sake of righteous causes-- being a woman does not come second to being a moral person.

A nudge to PETA (save the animals first) and American Apparel (save sweat-shop laborers first) as well. Because we can always dignify women later-- only if it's trendy and boob-related, though.
