(42,008 posts)There is a sense of ownership when it comes to celebrities by the public. Sometimes it's hard to tell who is being manipulated though, the celebrities, or the public. In something that is deeply personal, or when someone has has clearly taken a lot of pains to protect privacy, I think they should be left alone.
Miscarriage is often deeply painful, and I think celebrities should talk about it f and when the feel like it
The 'baby bump' speculations are just rude.
Then there are things like this;
By the way, in breaking news, Ashley Judd just tweeted that buying Apple products, again, is akin to rape. From her iPhone. Rapenow she knows how my brain felt after Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Oh, she said it. What is this obsession with Ashley Judd and rape? Its pretty unnerving.
Hilarious right! Well unfortunately for Crowder the comedy masterpiece formula famous actress + crappy chick flick = awesome rape joke opportunity kind of doesnt apply when the actress at the center of the joke also happens to be a rape victim herself:
Ive been aware of gender violence all my life, being a survivor of gender violence .And I think part of whats important, in addition to how we shape the narrative, is that we all have the courage to talk about it, because were as sick as our secrets and the shame keeps us in isolation.

I too am really tired of the fixation and obsession on some female celebrity's baby bump. It is as though some in the media believe that no accomplishment in their professional life ranks with her validating herself as female by bearing children... I'm sure many would argue this is not the case, but it certainly has that appearance. After all, when is the last time you have seen celebrity interviews of men fixating on if/when they are going to start their family?
Regardless, too much very personal information being made public--at least to me... I just don't think we needed to know.

(84,711 posts)Her style of writing made me cringe...but, since I don't know who Crowder is, maybe I missed what she was trying to say...but, think she was trying to point out that what he said was crude considering that Ashley Judd is trying to advocate for help for rape victims in war torn Africa.
It's just that Wonkette's style made it hard for me to easily get whether she was angry with Judd or Crowder or just disgusted by the whole thing.

I had read it, and decided not to post it probably for that reason--I just remembered it when. Saw your post. She was pointing out the comedian was making rape jokes about Judd, who herself has been a three time victim of rape, calling her 'obsessed' although it was in reference to some comment made by Judd about iPhones
Sorry about that
