I received fundraising spam in the mail from her saying that if I send money it will be a “personal reply” to Erica herself! She is absolutely grifting the fuck out of her husband’s death. It’s got nothing to do with gender and everything to do with republicans grifting shitheads.
Assuming all women are by default above criticism is very sexist and infantilizing towards women.
I don't think, "she deserved it, just look what she's wearing, and if you tell me that's a wrong thing to say it's because you're infantilizing women by saying they can't be wrong," is quite the defense you seem to think it is.
Well it’s a good thing that’s not what I said at all, then.
Yeah, but none of that has anything to do with how she's dressed. Like, she's a horrible person, why are we focusing on her clothing?
If by “we” you mean the collective of Lemmy, thats just not true. I’ve seen a shitload of criticism of her here, very little of it pants-related. The only thing pants-related on this post is the title, not even the image itself.
"we" being this thread lol
This thread that is explicitly about the outfit? We are focusing on the clothing because it is a joke about the clothing.
