yeah i dunno i dont really find the concept of a dartmouth frat bro writing a memoir galling
― max, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
ha, I hadn't even seen that Jezebel thing. <3 the phrase frat bro
it's not galling but it's difficult to believe that many 22-year old who aren't war heroes or w/e have a compelling tale to tell unless you're also a frat bro

is that the guy who did the hazing piece in esquire or whatever? that made for some nauseating readingapparently bros like to puke on each others faces and genitals until they have no more tooth enamel

that story sounds actually too compelling
― lag∞n, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
even tho its not abt war and took place before a person was 22 which is generally just meaningless bullshit not worth mentioning
― lag∞n, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:19 (eleven years ago) link
what if your under 22 but also a vampire

it's more specifically about a paralysis women of a certain privilege experience wrt work, in part because they haven't been acculturated to valuing their own labor, taking making money as a goal, etc.
I weep for them.

look i followed that by saying i understand it can be offputting. i also think this undervaluing of labor affects not-rich women fwiw, though they obviously have less freedom to go unemployed.

One likely criticism of the series is that it dwells on privileged white-girl problems; in fact, its core cast members are all famous people's kids. (Williams' dad is newsman Brian Williams, Mamet's is playwright David Mamet, and Kirke's is Simon Kirke, drummer in the classic rock band Bad Company.) Asked about the casting, Dunham says, "The only thing that would make it not a coincidence is that they came in with a preternatural willingness to play and an understanding of the creative process that probably comes from being raised around it."

There’s also a scene in one of the episodes where a guy says to one of the characters, “The first time I fuck you I might scare you a little, because I’m a man, and I know how to do things,” and it’s supposed to be a huge turn-on.Somebody actually said that line to me, only afterward he was like, “That’s the thing my friend who works at Vice magazine taught me.” And I was like, the best way to negate the hot thing you just said is to end it with, that’s the thing my friend at Vice magazine told me.

oh nevermind, I was gonna harp on that but then I noticed it was a phrase used by a character and not like an actual argument. I guess I enjoy petty inter-neighborhood fighting.
