I thought it was cool when Venus Williams wore this lacy outfit at some big tennis thing. Everyone called her a whore; it would be one thing if she was posing for Maxim in this outfit with hair extensions (not that that would make her a whore, but as airbrushed jerk-off material, that would be more culturally appropriate), but the fact that she's on the court makes it totally cool and weird! Subverting the dominant paradigm, etc. etc.Also, I guess I am like a gay man in that I can never really hate Madonna, even though by all accounts she is a horrible person. It seems like we always hate women for being insufferable, but what about Sean Penn? Why don't people hate him?
Sean Penn was great in Milk, that's reason enough not to hate him.
