cali (102,095 posts)Caitlyn Jenner and the perpetuation of ridiculous physical standards for womenthis is what's been bothering me about the whole Caitlyn Jenner Vanity Fair fawning. I haven't been able to put it into words, but I've found an op-ed that does:A NEW goddess has emerged like Botticelli’s Venus rising from the sea. Caitlyn Jenner gazes out from Annie Leibovitz’s July Vanity Fair cover, bare save for a satin bodysuit. Her auburn curls tumble over alabaster shoulders. Can she really be the avatar of personal freedom and self-expression the media claims her to be?Caitlyn Jenner’s transition is more than a private matter. It is a commercial spectacle on an enormous scale, revealing some disturbing truths about what we value and admire in women.Inside the magazine, Ms. Jenner poses in skintight dresses, a cinched black lace corset and two different gold evening gowns — the kind of outfits favored by her voluptuous stepdaughter, Kim Kardashian. She lounges on a sofa, peers into mirrors or reclines with her head thrown back, eyes closed. In keeping with the classic iconography of female stardom, Ms. Jenner appears languid and glamorous, her body still and on display rather than performing any activity.Ms. Jenner is 65 years old, but Caitlyn “codes†many decades younger. Her features are tiny and doll-like, her lips plumped, her skin lineless. Even her new chosen first name feels bizarrely girlish, conjuring more a college student, or maybe a sixth Kardashian sister, than a grandmother.<snip>http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/03/opinion/the-price-of-jenners-heroism.html?_r=0
The pix I've seen of Jenner -and I have NOT sought them out! - creep me out, but not because of any stereotypes of beauty! (Where's the barfing emoticon when you need it?!)
I believe that this is the one you're looking for:
....and Little Red Riding Hood says to grandma Jenner...."What a big clit you have."
If the bitter old hag didn't think of Bruce Jenner as a 'her', but rather as he is, a deranged 'him' with enough money to have his body mutilated in support of his delusion, she wouldn't feel threatened by him.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
I think the retouch work on its photo shoot may have been the first case ever of a digital airbrush wearing out.And even then, it looks creepy to me.Especially when you know it has a package under those dresses.
