I never went as far as to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but after her Hot Ones appearance I created a post (which I will link in the comments) where I suggested that she’s done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny. That’s before I learned about her promotion of these unproven “vampire facials”. Now an unlicensed clinic performing this procedure has given at least three women HIV. You guys were right and I was wrong.

    Your default assumption is that any criticism of a woman must be misogyny? Even when that woman’s actions primarily impact women’s health? Interesting.

      This line of reasoning doesn’t make sense. Haters being worse to women than men specifically because of gender has nothing to do with what that person actually does.

    There’s a phrase for that: Counterjerking too hard. Judging by the reactions you’re getting from this, seems you’ve done it twice in a row.

    Remember, counterjerking is not a principled stance; those who stand for nothing will fall for everything.
