This article about Caitlin Flanagan reminds me of two other hypocrites that I wish would shut up:
Madonna, denouncing money and fame after she's enjoyed it and is now in a position to stop going after it. All the riches and spoils are still hers, ofcourse, and it's not like she's about to part with it, but why not heckle anyone else who goes for it. (Mind you, I'm a Madonna fan, but this is self-righteous drivel on her part.)
Jamie Lee Curtis, "speaking out" against magazines and society at large about their unrealistic expectations of how a woman's figure should look. This after she too has made a hell of a lot of money for maintaining a drop-dead gorgeous figure and can now afford to sit back and look normal. Of course it just so happens she's passed her prime, not really that viable anymore or talked about until she makes this statement and poses in her underwear for a magazine to prove her newfound wisdom.
Whatever.
