I also cringed, winced, rolled my eyes and almost certainly audibly groaned, but still- I laughed:
I had just watched the entire Oscar telecast and its accompanying sideshow of live social media commentary, in which every aspect of female worth, sexuality, and beauty, were dissected mercilessly:
- Is Anne’s dress darted, or are her nipples erect? Her boyish hair was ghastly but…
- Halle and Charlize wore their closely-cropped ‘dos beautifully…
- Dame Shirley Bassey was alternately a hag or a diva…
- Jane Fonda looks great at 75- thanks to plastic surgery…
- However old Jamie Foxx’s daughter is, we lust for her, jail-bait or not…
Then- unlike the onslaught of misogynistic mockery- out of nowhere, came this baseless, asinine, universally offensive barb slung circuitously at an adorable little girl who is most definitely not a “CUNT.” And so, I laughed!
