I'm still so infuriated by this, just more pissed off by how impotent I was after this happened. Like, part of me wanted to scream at this moron for what she did, but what good would that have done?

disappointed that he was unable to reach the cowboy tho -- they probably would've ended up in the peoples' octagon

nice post max. too bad you weren't able to reach the cowboy, or get much more out of the publisher :/
― Mordy, Saturday, 12 January 2013 01:01 (eleven years ago) link
I have no idea what's going on, but I read this far:
I'm sorry her relationship with that cowboy turned out so horribly and his actions do not appear very creditable or kind, but I also can't say much in favor of her judgement, which seems to land her in an endless series of fuckups which she feels she must broadcast to the universe, first asserting then retracting many fundamental ideas with an equal passion and conviction of her rightness.― Aimless, Thursday, January 10, 2013 7:43 PM (2 days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Also there's this:
https://www.facebook.com/events/136839429804479/
So, I just read every post to catch up on the thread. Not that my thoughts are that relevant, but:
People don't necessarily have a consistent view or presentation of their own thoughts and self-image. It's not my call to label that mental illness, a divergent personality, or "lying" and someone can regret what she said or, in fact, actually present herself as bisexual or having a certain philosophical opinion or belief and later either change her mind or regret that public disclosure. Consistency is necessary in factual journalism, but we're in a whole different realm when it comes to social behavior.
Impeaching Valdes's character or implying she's a horrible person due to some lack of consistency of vision is gross. Yes, ideally she would refuse to promote her book, but ideally she wouldn't have spent all her money and be broke. It's possible she still likes the writing in the book if she hates the content. It's possible she knows she was abused and treated like garbage but still has some fond feelings she feels conflicted about. She might pick and choose, or view things in a rosy light when doing interviews. Maybe she feels the book is a blueprint for an abusive relationship, but some relationships come with a lot of self-blame -- I would not pretend to put words in her mouth, but I can attest that there is often a feeling on the part of the abused that they were still somehow to blame, even if they can articulate why that is not the case.
She's an effusive writer without a strong sense of consistent self. That doesn't make me think she's a fake or phony, it makes me think she's a strong advocate for everyone other than herself.
― mh, Saturday, 12 January 2013 01:11 (eleven years ago) link
It also has to be severely fucked-up for this lady to be reading positive reviews and hearing people talk about enjoying the book, validating her viewpoint that she held during this abusive relationship. She has recognized, or started to recognize, the facts of it, but people are inadvertently validating her views of the time every time they praise her portrayal.

xp That's what happened in the interview I listened to for a bit--the show host started to talk about her husband, a "man's man" who insisted on opening doors for her blah blah sexist-sticks, and Valdes kind of got railroaded into giggling pleasantly and agreeing with her and then telling a story supporting that perspective.

I don't think that's the point exactly. More like pushing ideas around and discovering where general location of the center of gravity. With clusterfuck threads that ideal doesn't often emerge, which is kind of what makes them clusterfucks. If anyone's mind was changed here it would have to be in terms of a shifting of emphasis rather than a 180 degree turnaround.
