Here are some photos of Kaley Cuoco and her husband Ryan Sweeting at last night’s premiere of The Wedding Ringer. This is Kaley’s big push to become, like, the next Katherine Heigl (minus Heigl’s unpleasant personality and grasping momager). Kaley wants to be the most successful woman in TV and transition into romantic-comedies and such. Maybe comparing her to Heigl is unfair – Kaley wants to be the next Jennifer Aniston. Anyway, for her big night, Kaley wore this light grey Kaufmanfranco Fall 2014 dress. I like it? The dress is cut beautifully, it looks great on her figure, it’s flattering and I don’t mind the light grey color at all. My only problem with the look as a whole is still Kaley’s hair. It just doesn’t work. It’s too short for her face. I hope she grows it out.
As we discussed last week, Kaley covers the latest issue of Redbook and during the course of the interview, Kaley made some comments about feminism which were problematic. She said that she doesn’t identify as a feminist because she chooses to cook for and serve her husband, and I guess “cooking for your family” is antithetical to feminism. Kaley later offered a half-assed “I’m sorry if you were offended” apology on Instagram and basically claimed she was misquoted or taken out of context. So, as you can imagine, the feminism questions came up during her press rounds for The Wedding Ringer.
Kaley told Entertainment Tonight that all she was trying to say was that she feels blessed: “I really truly meant that I am so lucky and blessed. My career has been growing since I was very young and I haven’t felt like I had to fight to be equal. That’s why I said it.” Er… see, that’s kind of problematic too, Kaley. Because that’s privilege. Because she hasn’t had to fight inequality, does that make her blind to gender inequality next door? Kaley also explained her position further with Access Hollywood:
“What most people I hope would understand that was a three-and-a-half hour conversation that someone saw two sentences [of] and then saw dot, dot, dot. So there was a lot more said,” she said. “If I offended anybody, I talk a lot, and I am sorry if I offended anybody. I love being a wife. I think I said [I love] serving my husband, I love to make him dinner, I love being that person and the whole feminist comment there was – again, so much more [was] said.”
The actress said her comment about not being a feminist because she already felt equal, was coming from a place of gratitude – not ignorance.
“I had felt that I had been so blessed in life today in my life and in my business that I felt like such an equal for so long and I haven’t felt like I’m trying to [move up]. I feel like I’m there. I feel like I’m powerful and that’s where it was coming from.”
So what does feminism mean to the 29-year-old?
“I mean, I think that it is equal, you know? But the funny thing is if I was a guy doing the cover of Redbook and I said all those things, I’d be known as Superman,” she said. “It really was completely blown out of proportion. And a lot of people took it completely the wrong way and again, I just don’t want to offend anybody. Sometimes I don’t realize how in-the-public I am… I don’t hide anything, I am completely who I am.”
Sigh… why does she keep insinuating that making dinner for her husband means that she can’t identify with feminism?!? As for the rest of it, with Kaley “feeling equal” already… I mean, that’s the dream. That young women wouldn’t even have to think about inequality because they’ve always been treated as equal to their male contemporaries. The thing is, I don’t think a 29-year-old woman in Hollywood has been that blessed throughout her life. I just don’t.

She’s really not the sharpest tool in the shed, is she.. *headshake*
Ugh, right? She is truly one of the dumbest of the dumb. Sorry, not sorry.
I think she is sweet but so stupid. I hope her publicity speaks with her and explains things using very small words.
LOL
The sad part is I think her publicist already spoke with her and that’s why she dropped the word “equality/equal” 3x. I think she’s just a nitwit.
Wow. I used to like her. Now I think she is dumber and less capable of personal insight than her character on Big Bang. I am done with her.
Her comments are very “Let them eat cake”.
She seems to have no concept that there is so much inequality, simply because she doesn’t experience it. It is shockingly narrow minded.
Right. She’s in a uniquely privileged position and while she may be grateful it doesn’t excuse her from being so utterly ignorant about how many people are nowhere near reaching the level of equality she’s reached.
I want to talk to her.
Me- “So you don’t think Malala deserves an education?”
Her-“of course she does”
Me-“does she deserve the same education as her brothers?”
Her- “of course”
Me- “welcome to feminism, dumba$$. Where I can cook my husband dinner AND have the same rights as him”.
Exactly. What’s sad is that apparently her PR rep *hasn’t* had that conversation with her.
He doesn’t have to – Cuoco is still pandering to the stupidest women out there, the ones who honestly think that feminism means man-hating lesbians who don’t want to do housework or cook. Her PR people are fine with that. Lowest common denominator, etc. Gotta keep ’em watching TBBT because those girls don’t git all that high-falutin’ stuff the guys say on that show. But Penny is highlarious because she’s proud to be a dummy!
Enough of this dumb broad. Clearly she should not be interview about anything other than the stuff she’s promoting.
Ok first am I the only one that thought her reference to Superman (you know….aka the guy she ‘date’ before her husband) was odd and cringe worthy?
Second, she’s interesting to me on two levels. First because what she doesn’t understand is that even if you’re successful, gender issues, or race issues or ethnicity issues can still impact your life. Oprah Winfrey is about as successful an entertainer as you can get but I’m quite sure she has experienced racism and knows the fight continues. So Cuoco in appropriately equates her success with not seeing a need for feminism in her life. Which goes to the second point. Can’t wait to hear what she has to say when she’s trying to make it in Hollywood 20 years from now….
She is pretty dumb and uneducated, and instead of educating herself, she digs herself a deeper hole by trying to come up with all sorts of dumb excuses. I personally find her very irksome and shallow, but she’s doing us all a disservice by trying to add her voice to the conversation this way.
Exactly. That shit she said makes Penny look smarter.
Yeah–Jennifer Aniston is correct–Kaley idolizes her. You can even kinda see it in her acting on BBT, there are several instances where the way she said or does something reminds me a lot of Rachel Green.
I like Kaley’s dress but Ryan would have looked better if he cut his hair.
Perhaps she isn’t aware enough to notice…
She needs to sit down and just think, think, think! Really wrap her head around it and then be thoughtful when she speaks. Not gonna happen, right?
I’ve always known she isn’t the brightest bulb, but I’ve always liked her anyway. She’s starting to ruin it 🙁
Oh, Kaley, let it die already. Your foot can’t possibly taste that good.
I’m glad I wasn’t drinking something, otherwise my keyboard would be ruined.
Bahahahahahahahaha.
QOTD!
you win at everything
Ha. So what Kaley really thinks is “I’m alright Jill and bugger the rest of you Jills if you’re not. You’re not my problem.”
Nice. Every time she opens her mouth, she makes it worse.
Agreed. I don’t support animal shelters because I’m not a cat or dog. I don’t support MSF, because I don’t have Ebola or live in Africa. I don’t support the World Food Program because I’m not hungry….
Ha Kiddo! Yes, so true.
Exactly.
ha that’s exactly how it came across.
Yes, exactly!
Maybe she’s just a Republican who thinks taking personal responsibility is enough to reach your goals, regardless of whether there’s systemic oppression or not. On one hand I kind of respect that she, a conventionally attractive, wealthy, white woman, acknowledges that she’s in a position of tremendous privilege and doesn’t want to play the victim card. But on the other hand she’s ignorant if she thinks that male celebrities, with a similar profile, wouldn’t be getting paid more than her and that because she’s a woman her shelf life as a celebrity isn’t usually going to be as long as a man’s. As for concern about the oppression of others, she has a right not to care and like a lot of people she might be happy to exercise that right.
Oh, this in so many ways!
I understand some people’s opposition to the term ‘feminism’, but who use other identifiers which are more inclusive. That makes sense. But what Kaley is basically saying is that things are good for her, no need to step up for others. I realize she is saving her own butt with the particular people she works for, but she should have simply left this at the last stupid comment.
You don’t get behind a cause necessarily because of how the climate or circumstances impact you. She does come across obliviously privileged here, but no one was really looking for her as a spokesperson anyway, so carry on.
She comes across as privileged but what annoys me most is this:
“I love being a wife. I think I said [I love] serving my husband, I love to make him dinner, I love being that person..”
For the one billionth time, WTF does that have to do with feminism?
Gah! She makes me want to tear my hair out.
Hmm, the end results may look like ^the above^. Don’t go pulling any hair out. Have a Dessert Hardy and enjoy one of my guest muumuus.*
*Homage to Brooklyn nine-nine and guest pajamas*
Kitten, to dovetail off your point and this “serve” b*llshit, paired up with the NEVERENDING THIRST this chick has, Talking to Redbook and that SINCERELY DEVOTEDLY Ugly ass styling and Coloring of her hair I HAVE TO WONDER:
Is This Thirsty Bird Going for Kirk Cameron’s Audience… like seriously, is she Pandering to the Good Hip Christian Ladies of America?? or….??
Is it arrogant of me to say that I would look better than her with short hair?
Oh noes. Feminist card revoked for criticizing another woman.
Just gimmee some Dessert Hardy to cleanse my pallet of this bad hair ‘do with a big mouth.
Are you turning down my generously offered guest muumuu?
@QQ, catering to the non-threatening cute chick trope audience, I think.
Mr Sixer: “I love being a husband. I think I said [I love] ironing for my wife. I love to make her presentable and not creased to high heaven, I love being that person..”
If you asked him, he would actually say that. For realz.
I can’t even get the words out how crazy this makes me. I make dinner. I like to do things to make my husband’s life easier, just as he does for me. What. Does. That. Have. To. Do. With. Being. A. Feminist??? Gah.
*throws another Comet Sophie on GoodNames*
It had to be done.
Go ahead. I am letting it wash over me in a zen like manner, as taters taught me to. I’m starting to smell a little funky, and my dry cleaner is giving me the side-eye, but do your worst. I have kahlua, Xanax and the Dalai lama on my side.
Sixer- I am so jeallous! (Said wrinkled mess)
I would HOPE that it doesn’t mean anything. That she is just blabbering, That what she really means is that she does nice things for her hubby and he does nice things for her.
What it kind of sounds like, in the context of the feminism conversation, is that she does nice things for her hubby without the expectation that anything nice will be done for her as well. That their relationship is imbalanced in power, and that is why she can’t sign on to “feminism”, even though she understands it means “equal”. I hope that isn’t the case!
@Tiffany
I think that’s exactly what she means…dude is a house husband. And apparently not even a GOOD house husband, because according to her, she works long hours on a set, and makes HIM dinner every day. WTF does he do all day? I think she’s stroking his ego…..not only does she make tons more money than him, and is successful in her field–he’s not successful in his field AT ALL. It’d be nice if she said something about what he did for her.
YES. Up until this point I’ve been will to accept that she just doesn’t really understand what feminism is. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? It’s that she is willfully denying that some women are denied opportunities and face challenges simply because they are women. “I’m totally fine therefore this isn’t a real problem.” Or perhaps she recognizes inequality, but she does not care. Either way, f you, Kaley. But as you say, hardly worth troubling ourselves over. I don’t even watch her show.
i know i shouldn’t expect more from someone who probably has minimal education past middle school… but UGH! this is NOT complicated. do you believe in equality for all? regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc.? yes? ok great, it’s settled then. glad though that it is remaining a front/center question though because this is important.
makes me think of chris rock talking about his daughters growing up in a time when they are the first generation to be given the benefit of the doubt. this is (hopefully) the first generation of young women that isn’t told that it’s attractive to play dumb, pretend to worship 50’s ideals rather than the right to choose your own path, and that you can be an empowered feminist and still enjoy cooking for your husband/family/whomever because that’s something you enjoy out of love, not some misplaced ideals from the past! ugh. sorry. rant over!
Somebody has to make dinner and somebody can enjoy doing it. It’s not a political statement unless you are EXPECTED to ALWAYS make dinner because of your body parts that have nothing whatsoever to do with your ability to cook.
Thanks so much. ^^^
I expect you to make some Comet Sophies!
Right.
Growing up, my dad was the sole bread-winner for our family and my mom was a SAHM. She got up every morning at 5AM to fix him breakfast before work. She also had dinner ready by 5:00 when he came home from work.
As a teenager, I remember one night just freaking out on my mom and asking her why she was such a “slave” to him (teenagers, you know) and she said very simply, “I do this as my contribution, because I don’t work.” I think I rolled my eyes at the time, but to this day she still insists that she did it willingly and it makes perfect sense to me. My mom is much like myself-she doesn’t do anything she doesn’t want to do. It was her way of feeling like she was helping to make his life easier and she did it out of love, not obligation.
Throughout my childhood (and to this day actually) my father always cooked and baked for us on the weekends, did the dishes, etc and my mom can fix anything–she should have been a plumber or an electrician.
In other words, they share household responsibilities depending on who has more free time, who is more exhausted at the moment, and who actually WANTS to cook, etc. It has nothing to do with antiquated gender roles, and everything to do with a cooperative partnership.
Equality yay.
For Kaley to think that there’s a correlation…it’s just so archaic and…ass-backwards to think that how one WILLINGLY chooses to please their mate has anything to do with feminism. It’s simply a personal choice.
So yeah, plus one to everything lilacflowers said.
I grew up pretty much the same…..except both of my parents worked and both of them did cooking, house work and taking care of children. There were never gender roles in our house. Mum worked from 7am – 5 pm and cause of dad had more flexible work time, he would get us ready for school, gave us breakfast, pick us up and then helped mum cook. They would both equally do the dishes, cleaning, clothes etc. I mean, mum never even packed his suitcase when he would travel somewhere. My brother and me were raised the same way, since we were 6 we had to make our own beds and take care of our closets and toys and I am ashamed to admit that today my brothers closet looks like a Armani shop and mine is a horrible mess. I was shocked when I actually started to realize that this is a huge exception and that my upbringing was really privileged compared to how some people live.
I think Kaley still doesn´t understand the difference between a personal choice and doing sth cause society told you to do it because of your gender.
Which surprises me cause she is my age and a part of Hollywood world which is a lot of things but not feminist. Either she chose to turn her head away just cause its not her business or she is really plain dumb. (and I hate to call woman dumb but i dont have any other word to say)
Thank you. My husband and I break down the tasks in a very traditional way. He works. I don’t. I make dinner on days he works. If I feel like it. If I don’t, we go out or do take out, but I’m the one who’s in charge of food. Not because I’m the woman. Because I’m the one who has time during the day to go out and get the food and I like to cook and I think it would be sort of weird if he worked all day and got home at seven and I said what’s for dinner? I don’t consider it ” serving” him. I consider it fair.
Kitten, it sounds like there was a lot of teamwork in your house. That is wonderful! I read on a Mighty Girl the other day, that a study was done about household work.
“when Dad takes on an equal share of the chores at home, more girls report a greater interest in a broad range of careers, while in households with unevenly divided chores, girls are more likely to say they want to join traditionally feminine occupations.”
“Croft says that the message girls receive when chores are unequal in their household is, “You can do anything you want to do, but you have to do all this too.”
“in families where dads paid lip service to gender equality, but still skipped out on the majority of chores, no broadening of their daughter’s career ambitions was seen. In other words, Croft says, “Our data suggests that kids might pick up their stereotypes about gender and about themselves not only from what parents say explicitly but from what they do around the house.”
https://www.facebook.com/amightygirl/posts/788990437803938
I think part of the significant loss in that understanding is that we, as a culture, fundamentally degrade traditional women’s work so that it appears to be less valuable than men’s work. Cooking, cleaning, child raising, maintaining a home – that is work. It’s HARD work because there is no 9 to 5 shifts. You never get to clock out from kids. The kind of people who are wise enough to see through the fallacy of men’s work being superior are the kind that create relationships like your parents. They recognize that the burden is there and are willing to work together on their own terms.
Yes! You hit the nail on the head.
that is the most unfortunate hairstyle ever.. ever.. what were her stylists thinking…?!
That their hair looked okay, so ….
Lolz @ Kiddo.
Perfect.
Oh shut up plasticine face!!!!
She’s just dumb, I get the feeling she still hasn’t fully grasped the real meaning of femminism. ‘Equality’ is a heavy word and she takes it so lightly ‘I already feel blessed’… well, then go and live on a desert island by yourself. She truly lives in her little own world, doesn’t she?
That’s what is p*ssing me off, Kaley just doesn’t care about anyone else since she’s ‘blessed’ and all of that, not even the person next to her, let alone the world.
Her hair previously was very dead looking and over processed. I think this was a good idea to rid her of the limp, fried looking hair, but it was over kill. Less severe cut would be good on her.
Yes, I wonder if Jennifer Lawrence’s cut would be a better one.
She really should stop talking and take her husband to get his hair cut. WTF is that hair style? They are Mr. and Mrs. Bad Hair.
Thinking and agreeing with this ^^^
I mean she does have the choice to not identify as being a feminist but I still find it unfortunate that she’s making the choice as a result of having a misperception of what feminism actually is. And she’s a public figure who could be contributing something positive to the discussion on feminism but instead she continues to dig herself into a deeper hole and what’s worse is that there are a lot of people who seem to agree with her, at least judging by the comments in the People and Us magazine sections.
I say blergh to all of this.
Well said.
My Grandmother, who was way ahead of her time, always made it clear to all daughters and granddaughters… to rely on your self. And granted she never once utter the word feminism. She did not burn any bra’s. But she was no ones fool.
Of course she always made it clear that it was better to pay for something yourself, versus letting some man pay for it. Her statement was “if you pay for it yourself… you only have to pay for it once”. HA! And seriously… that is the truth.
Kaley is getting to live a charmed life. She has went from one show to another. She had lots of endorsement deals. So she does not see the need to support feminism. It must be nice. I do hope she got a pre-nup.
I wonder if she will have to same beliefs when she ages out of jobs, in the next decade.
OMG!! Just shut up, you are digging yourself deeper woman!!
The more she says, the more nobody will forget. Her stupidity is really showing
Look I can appreciate that Anniston has run a brilliant PR campaign but please do not let her get an Oscar nomination…because if she does, wastes of oxygen like this idiot might get hope. “I was a sitcom girl too!”
Terrible hair covering a terrible brain.
It’s not “everybody” else taking it wrong, it’s YOU not taking responsibility for being clueless and uneducated. Do I have to have a child to care about child abuse? You personally haven’t suffered inequality so you don’t care about equality for other women? Oh Kaley, you lucky talent lightweight, you.
It sounds like she thinks being a feminist is when a woman does things that aren’t traditionally “woman” things to do. She likes to cook, though, so she couldn’t POSSIBLY be a feminist.
Also, Kaley? You are on a very popular TV making as much money per episode as your male co-stars. Do you know why you have that privilege? ‘Cause it sure as shit isn’t your talent.
You’re a wealthy a white woman in a position of power. Of course you feel next to no effects of sexism. JFC. Educate yourself.
I cringe whenever I hear other white woman talk about feminism sometimes. We’re nearly doing as much to destroy the movement with our own failure to recognize the struggles of minorities and the poor than patriarchy does on a routine basis. Alienating whole segments of potential allies never did any good.
“I haven’t felt like I had to fight to be equal.” That’s because of feminism, dumdum! That is pure ignorance and self-absorption right there.
She should look at her own show – the majority of writers and producers are men. And the company that produces the show Warner Bros., still has to have diversity programs to bring more women and minorities into the business. If everyone was enjoying Kaley’s equality, such programs wouldn’t be needed.
And let’s see if she feels so equal in another 10 years or so, when the good roles for women 40+ are few and far between, especially in comedy.
God, she is so dumb. Stop picking her brain about feminism. Let it heal. Too many thoughts. Here is one she can grasp-MUST FIX HAIR.
wow, just wow
She is only in her “powerful” position because of the sacrifices women made for her, without even knowing her, years ago, for ALL WOMEN.
She should be on her knees in adulation, not insulting all they have accomplished.
F*ck you, Kaley.
you know, I like BBT, but I am done with it after this.
I am so disgusted by her comments.
Born on third, thinks she hit a triple. Forget making dinner; I wonder if she lets the man of the house handle all her money.
DB – LOL,
“I wonder if she lets the man of the house handle all her money.”
You have the comment of the day!
c’mon, guys, what is she going to say? Yes, I’ve been discriminated in this sexist Hollywood game? she talks shit, she won’t get any effing jobs. of course she’s been discriminated against, etc, etc. but she talks too much crap, she won’t get jobs. like megan fox. in case ya’ll haven’t noticed, men still run Hollywood
…Aaaaaaaaaand she still doesn’t get it. Actually it’s not that, she’s not even TRYING to make and effort to understand, and therefore keeps saying dumb sh*t.
Eh, I was coming in here to be criticize her comments, but I can see everyone else covered that. However, I’m not going to act like she’s pulling these sentiments out of thin air or that she’s making these comments in a vacuum.
Let’s not pretend that mainstream feminism hasn’t evolved (or devolved, depending on your view) over the past few decades – basically, the idea of feminism as a collective movement, a political movement that is concerned with structural, collective inequality has been displaced to a significant degree by a brand of feminism that is far more individualistic and depoliticized, and heavily focused on self-empowerment.
It is utterly unsurprising to me that someone like Cuoco, who is highly successful and already feels powerful – feels that she has no personal need for feminism, or that she does not see any other motivating factor to be a feminist other than personal advancement/empowerment.
She totally got a botched nose job, too. What is she doing to herself?
The thirst is strong in this one.
Kaley Cuoco still… is an idiot.
So basically, she’s a feminist, but she’s also very ignorant.
Cool.
This girl looks perfectly fine on camera but man she is not photogenic in stills. And she looks like she’s pushing 40.
And yes, I’m aware that those are specious remarks. They’re still true.
Why do people have to say such loaded things like “I serve my husband”… do you think men would say something along those lines? No… because their male friends would rip them to shreds about how p-whipped they are. Why not just say you like cooking? My husband and I take turns cooking but I wouldn’t say either of us is “serving” the other one… that seems like an ugly word and she sounds like she has issues.
I love the show, but she’s really not as Grand High Pumbah as she thinks. The more she speaks, the less I care for her. As of right now, the others are cancelling out the distaste, but she’d better rein it in or read a book or something before her next word vomit.
I love the outfit, but those pictures hurt to look at. Her husband looks unhappy and she seems to be cringing desperately in every poto. I’m over the whole “Love me! I’m great!” schtick. She’s going the way of Anne.
Why does she need to be some feminist role model? I really don’t understand it. If she hasn’t felt that she’s suffered any inequality in her career, then that’s great, but it also means she’s never going to be the kind of person that fights for feminism.
She’s an actress. I have an issue with these actresses that are trying to make some kind of political statement. Pipe down! Some of us have real jobs, that don’t involve us posing for fashion brands (I’m looking at your, Emma Watson).
Besides the fact that I think all people should be feminist role models, I agree with what Kaiser (I think it was?) said the other day. These people have a HUGE platform, and I’d much rather see them asked about feminism than hair, makeup, and clothes ad nauseum. Or how do they possibly juggle marriage and/or kids with a career, while male actors are not botheres with such silliness. Those types of non-stop stupid stereotypes, conditioning, and female dismissal are exactly why we ALL, even them, still need feminism. Once women are seen as equal, capable human beings with important thoughts and aspirations in their heads in addition to “dresses! makeup! be pretty!”, then we can say that feminism and questions about it are unnecessary.
I’m a feminist but here’s the thing: it is entirely a common thing for a person to use a word without bothering to look it up, and, ultimately, misuse the word. Without knowing what it’s supposed to mean, I have to grant it is an easy word to misinterpret.
The problem is some people think it excludes certain lifestyle freedoms for women (or in more extreme misinterpretations, it would seek to do away with men), when that’s not the intended meaning.
Very few people would say “I’m not an equalist” if there were such a word but the problem with “equalist” is it doesn’t highlight who needs their rights improved. Still, in other contexts of inequality we use phrases like “race equality” not “Africanism” and “marriage equality” not “homosexualism” and it does lead to less misinterpretation. So for that reason I prefer the phrase “gender equality” over “feminism”.
You brought up a really good point about why there’s this confusion and reluctance about embracing feminism. A lot of women are for equality, but don’t call themselves feminist either because they think it means a loss of personal freedoms, they think it means negativity toward males, or a combination of both.
I don’t think women rejecting feminism for those reasons can be entirely blamed on one person or group of people though. Part of it is patriarchal propaganda and rumors that women and girls grow up hearing about feminism. Part of it is because some feminists actually DO promote the idea that you can’t be a feminist or empowered and make certain personal choices regarding your body, relationships, sex, career, and physical appearance- or you can do those things, but they’re just not valid, they make you to blame for our oppression, they lessen you, make it ok for people to be crappy, etc, and there will occasionally be some who do have issues with men. People have also probably heard feminist quotes that tainted their view of the entire movement.
With Kaley Cuoco I think it’s a combination of her thinking that feminism means she can’t openly choose to do certain ‘traditional’ things she likes, and the fact that her mentality is that because she personally hasn’t experienced inequality, there’s no reason for her to fight for equality. I still think that last one is a lame reason to reject feminism- even if you personally haven’t experienced inequality or oppression, there are many others who have- but I also have trouble believing that she personally hasn’t experienced any inequality in her lifetime. Maybe she just hasn’t really reflected on those things or thought of them as inequalities.
What I don’t get is why everytime this celebs are criticized for their wrong views on what feminism is, they juggle with their words and deliver this nonsensical speeches instead of educating themselves. Girl. You don’t even need to crack a book open. Read the wikipedia article on feminism – that’s enough to understand why you were wrong. Or, idk, ask your token hipster friend or something. Or your PR assistant! It’s just so avoidable, I can’t understand it.
I think everyone here has all the bases covered as far as commenting about her lack of knowledge (to put it mildly), so I’ll just say this: it’s nice to see her with a real smile (even if it does seem a little forced) instead of that damn pursed lips thing she was so fond of doing. That’s it…that’s all I’ve got.
This woman is so ignorant. She said: “So there was a lot more said.” BUT this interview is like that other interview. She didn’t say anything in this new interview. It’s so confusing. There was a lot more? So she should talk about it now.
And now this: “Kaley Cuoco pokes fun at feminism controversy.”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2901424/Kaley-Cuoco-pokes-fun-feminism-controversy-presents-revealing-monochrome-frock-People-s-Choice-Awards.html
A joke about it? She shouldn’t do that. I think she hates feminists. Now people think feminists are bad because they don’t respect her opinion and DM readers will write negative comments about feminists (they are always doing it.) They hate feminism.
I actually had a self proclaimed feminist tell me one time that I can’t identify as a feminist because I cook dinner for my man most nights. I was like, “I’m a feminist, I do what makes me happy and I don’t worry about gender roles!”
