Also the pejorative language used about this site also counts as tearing down women. It’s a cheap and easy win and it’s slack journalism.
Abso-bleeping-lutely!I know I mentioned this on the Friday it all kicked off, but the sexism in women talking about women being problematic somehow but men talking about footballers / other such folk (I'm guessing almost exclusively male sports people) has never caused this kind of fury that I'm aware of. I'll pay attention to thinkpieces about this kind of space when it's not made out to be primarily a women v women issue.
but virtuosity does not mean “being virtuous”, it describes a state of being highly skilled at something. I assume the writer either didn’t know that they’d used the wrong word, or is secretly giving us all a high five for our efforts. Up top!Plus, there’s an underlying air of virtuosity lingering, especially around Tattle Life.
Yes, the consumers that are being targeted are not allowed to critically think, have differing opinion, or call out lack of transparency or the hypocrisy. And yet, those so against diverse opinion, themselves talk about "punching women in the tits", have relentless hateful twitter threads targeting women, trying to get a woman who was self made, sacked etc. We should just blindly support and consume any product marketed, and insecurity created to justify the -need- for a new product, all the while these gatekeepers don't care about the monetry value to the average person, who could never sustain the amount that is being flogged.PS I don’t feel virtuous. I feel bleeping gobsmacked that the popular media aimed at women is so, so bad that a lowly gossip forum is the smart breath of fresh air I’ve been waiting for. Literally if a GCSE student wrote that piece I would’ve given them a C.
Are you still waiting on your beatification, babes? I've already been canonised, sorry #saintface@Jelly Bean "No one here I'm sure feels particularly virtuous." I don't know about that, I'm expecting (at least) a beatification.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.Yes, the consumers that are being targeted are not allowed to critically think, have differing opinion, or call out lack of transparency or the hypocrisy.

Who cares if the influencer claims to be pro-animal rights yet flogs animal tested brands, heaps of limited recyclable material, overpriced "must haves" and isn't transparent that the thing claimed to be loved for years, is just another undeclared AD.
Don't lurk! Stay! God I sound needy. But you seriously hit the nail on the head. People like you are who people like SH are scared of. Former fans with their eyes opened.New member (and lurker until now!) - used to be an SH fan but got increasingly irritated when she stopped doing the Guardian videos and stopped updating SHB, the fact that all the influencers were flogging the same products and people and the ‘normalizing’ of spending considerable amounts of money on must have products. Don’t believe for one instant that any reputable lawyer would have been happy with her posting that statement. Am also shocked at how supposedly ‘professional’ women conduct themselves online - can’t believe it’s in line with their employers’ SM policies? If I had posted anything remotely like that I would have been lucky not to have been sacked. Anyway, rant over - I shall go back to lurking...
"I wrote under the cleverly disguised username Deep Throat, but then I realised I have that blusher shade by NARS"And why the hell should the mods here feel compelled to talk to a Grazia journo? Who the hell does she think she is? bleeping Woodward and Bernstein?
Shapeless shitmouth beef face shadows on a wall innitIf it was men saying what we said would that be better or worse? Why bring gender into it?
(I don't think of any of you fellow skidmarks as having a gender tbh - we cave dwelling shitmouth turds always struck me as sort of shapeless lumps with beef strapped to where our faces might be).
I used to read grazia occasionally when I was young. It felt more 'sophisticated' than 'Now' or 'Hello'. In reality the classy font just made me feel even more worthless reading about the £hundred pound handbags and hundred pound beauty treatments (I especially loathed Bella Freud's section of the telegraph sunday supplement magazine - my dad's choice of paper not mine). I would never be rich enough to access the treatments needed to catch me up to the beauty of other girls. I don't mourn the death of magazines, I do follow US teen vogue though which is so on point these days that Sali should learn from it. SrslyAnd why the hell should the mods here feel compelled to talk to a Grazia journo? Who the hell does she think she is? bleeping Woodward and Bernstein? And people here didn't want to talk to her? Good. Why should they. But there goes the spin at how slightly sinister it all is here. Not just that people here don't bow down in awe to, oooh, a journalist.
So horrible. I couldn't believe that when I saw it. Crass and brutal.Thousands of people will lose their jobs because Pizza Express is going into administration but that's alright with her bleeping idiotic husband who's making jokes about it on twitter. Seething.
Typical Tory though, innit.Thousands of people will lose their jobs because Pizza Express is going into administration but that's alright with her bleeping idiotic husband who's making jokes about it on twitter. Seething.
I know. I saw that. Disgusting behaviour. Same as his wife when Jamie's went bust - not that she joked but she tweeted how awful Jamie's restaurants were when I'm sure neither he or his ex employees really needed to be told that.Thousands of people will lose their jobs because Pizza Express is going into administration but that's alright with her bleeping idiotic husband who's making jokes about it on twitter. Seething.
