Men Will Ruin Famous Women’s Brand—The Lindy West Backlash Explained

In this video Melanie will talk about men continuing to embarrass women, especially those who seem to center them some or a lot. Decentering men in the bedroom and personal relationships is mayb THE hardest place to do this work. Lindy West’s interview for the New York times has stirred the internet for good reason. Her seeming self abandoning to please her husband should be studied. This stuff happens all the time. She never wanted to be poly. And he actually didn’t follow the rules of poly, in which cheating is never ok. Most new partners talk to the primary partner before they hook up or at least it’s a discussion with transparency. Not this time. Her husband cheated and got caught and then basically said this is how I am or that’s what it seems . She had to Accept it if she wanted to stay together. Reading how she’s talked herself into doing this is so relatable. We are all on the pick me spectrum. We have all talked ourselves into some bonkers stuff. Anyway, never put any of your feminist hero’s on a pedestal. We are all unlearning here and figuring it out. I hate to see her kinda sorta discredit her feminist legacy with this new chapter of her relationship life 😬. I still respect her work but I def won’t seek relationship wisdom from her!
