3. All of the above.

We can pretend like she's some kind of avatar and an example of #women making it in a big way, but at the end of the day she is just part and parcel of the arts and entertainment #elite, whose exploitive industry is like a little aristocracy in of itself.

Obviously, but yeh

I have a test to help determine a person's social status: can you imagine them folding laundry? Hauling a hamper of clean clothes from the dryer or from the line, folding it, and stowing it in drawers and on hangers? I don't do anything with the info. Just an interesting mental exercise.

Denial is, on average, people's first response when they feel offended

Denial takes many forms. E.g., the person may vigorously shake their head & try to silence the criticism by shouting over the person that offended them

Feeling offended is the typical response if criticised. The key societal problems are the people that regularly get offended (inc. angry) to deflect attention away from their wrongdoing. To silence the people that don't intend to cause offence
