and it's always women who jump first at any opportunity to discredit and invalidate women's experiences and we've seen this happen for years to so many celebrities and it always ends with "we owe an apology to-" no we don't. we didn't fall for this pathetic smear campaign, you did.

every time there’s suddenly a hate campaign against a female celebrity, the internet comes forward with their attitude of “i know the LAST one turned out to be a misogynistic and manipulative smear campaign after a woman was being abused and taken advantage of, but THIS TIME it’s real and justified” and then it never is and the cycle just repeats endlessly

like the way there are genuinely valid reasons to dislike brittany mahomes (defending patrick's nasty freak of a brother, being a trumpie) but 7 times out of 10 when i see shit abt her on twitter it's not about that, it's about "oooooh she would've bullied me in high school :(((((((" and "she would sell me mlms omg i miss when taylor had REAL people as friends not these fake wag bitches using her for clout!!!!!!" and it's people like lana who JUST MARRIED a trump supporter or fletcher who was part of a transphobic cult earlier in the year or, and i know the baby swifties forget she exists, but literally lena dunham. like get a griiiiip and get out of high school i'm begging some of you. you can admit the treatment brittany got from football fans and media over the years WAS rooted in misogyny (which is probably something taylor related to! shocker!) while also knowing and not fucking with her for her views in other shit. u all have to get out of this black and white mindset it's simply not how the world works!

like sorrrrryyyyyyyy you guys were never gonna get me to think blake lively was a bitch for being a little bitchy to an interviewer during a press tour. do you know they sit there for HOURS on end while having these people rotated in and out? just hundreds of people to ask you the same stupid fucking questions all day. you guys want women to be bitches until she actually comes along and suddenly she's a demon lol. you were never gonna get me to believe that her and ryan reynolds were masterminding shit behind this movie of all people. none of you gave a shit abt those two in any real way and suddenly they're hollywoods most powerful couple that gets people blacklisted??? mr deadpool and his soccer documentary on fx and serena van der woodsen of the cw???????????? be serious. the way people online would rather jump on the most insane accusations to feel "justified" in their hatred that makes them look morally superior than just admit "i don't like them!" is soooooo dangerous at this point. that's how things like this thrive. you're feminists until it's someone you don't like until some truly heinous shit comes out and then it's "oopsie!" and you'll keep falling for it until you look inside yourself and get rid of your own biases

This is a link to Blake Lively's full complaint against Justin Baldoni and holy shit is it incredibly damning. Most of the news outlets are skimming over the details but it is absolutely worth a read:

i don't know what else to tell you except to be brave and to be kind. take it day by day. go outside and watch the clouds paint the sky. call a friend.

we are still here, and furious. you are still here, and that matters. you can still do and make and be something important. i promise. stay alive. it matters, and you matter. i know it is easy to succumb to anxiety and exhaustion and defeat.

communities can start with tiny ideas. google "dnd meeting near me" or whatever your interest might be. google "volunteering near me." google "support groups near me." start journalling. start a discord. start a book club.

when you close your eyes and hear hamlet, answer his prayer: it's better still to be.
