  2. i sure do hate a woman that puts down other women….

    personal achievements, like body positivity (finding a way to love who you are and your body), being proud of oneself, being able to change public opinion about women needing to appeal to the male gaze, are brave. it could be a different kind of bravery, not a “wartime bravery” bravery, but not all bravery needs to be “FIGHT IN WARS, DIE FOR SOMETHING!!!!” type bravery.

    let’s be rational. there’s levels to everything in life, and putting someone else down is not something anyone should be doing. everyone has their own 0, everyone has their own 100. and it’s ok.

    one person can suffer and feel like they’re at the absolute worst they’ve experienced. the “YOU KNOW THERE ARE KIDS IN SWEATSHOPS” mentality is one of the worst things a person can do towards the individual’s experience of life. it disregards humanity, and the individual’s experience of life

    we will all experience different lives, different realities, different feelings and situations. and it’s ok to be proud of yourself no matter how big or small on a “world scale” your achievement is. setting a parameter of who/what is worthy is not a good precedent to set for anyone. and it downplays the individuality of each person, of each person’s life, of each person’s highs and struggles. we all have them.

  3. I think bravery is on a spectrum.

    Of course, we live in a world of extremes, where people can judge an entire person’s character based on a single tiny thing, so I think her point is valid.

  6. At 47 I was getting a haircut by a 20 something, I had stopped dying it two years earlier so it was about 4” of grey/white/silver and about 4” of old dye. My girlfriend I hadn’t seen for a few years popped in and said, you are so brave to not dye your hair.

    After she left I looked at the young lady cutting my hair and said, to be clear, this is not bravery. The single mom who manages to provide for her babies is brave, women in wartorn countries are brave – letting your grey hair grow out is not fucking brave. And fuck society or the patriarchy for pushing this BS. I hope future generations burn this shit to the ground.

  9. It’s Ukraine not ‘the’ Ukraine. A subtle distinction that’s means the world to Ukrainian people, so much so that they are dying for it.

  12. Thank you 🙌

    I’m honestly so tired of people who have these easy jobs making millions of dollars who want to complain.

    Like I’m ambivalent about Chappelle roan but her comments at the VMAs the other day had me rolling my eyes. So stressed out walking the red carpet 🙄 With girl just cuz you dress like a clown doesn’t mean you have to act like one. How would these people ever survive real life.

  13. Kate Winslet is a real one and pretty much always has been.

  14. Hey Kate, it’s not “the Ukraine.” It’s just Ukraine.

  15. I love that she and other women are empowered to age now.

  16. Redditors on their way out of the woodworks just to comment on Kate Winslet’s grammar:

  17. You know, I don’t really care WHAT Kate Winslet says. She’s a fucking celebrity, not a scholar. She IS a fucking babe though, I’ve always fantasized about having a threesome with her and Alanis.

  18. Gonna miss when actors still talked like this. The young actors of today don’t have to work nearly as hard to get in the business most of them have an in or wealthy family. Fuck em lol.

  20. This is like when Steven Adams commented on NBA players complaining during the COVID Bubble, “it’s not Syria, mate. We’re living at a bloody resort”
