I never went as far as to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but after her Hot Ones appearance I created a post (which I will link in the comments) where I suggested that she’s done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny. That’s before I learned about her promotion of these unproven “vampire facials”. Now an unlicensed clinic performing this procedure has given at least three women HIV. You guys were right and I was wrong.
I mean, yeah, she’s to blame for promoting an obviously batshit crazy process, but she was NOT involved with any of the facilities distributing HIV. That’s a bit of a stretch.
It would be like, I dunno, blaming your favorite tattooed celebrity because you got hepatitis c from some back alley artist.
I don’t disagree, but this kind of post isn’t really in the spirit of TIL
Your default assumption is that any criticism of a woman must be misogyny? Even when that woman’s actions primarily impact women’s health? Interesting.
This line of reasoning doesn’t make sense. Haters being worse to women than men specifically because of gender has nothing to do with what that person actually does.
Still no worse than the worst of the male grifters.
