A member of the Spears' family, but here it goes.
Susan Estrich, could you please refrain from calling Jamie Lynn Spears, or any other girl or woman who finds herself pregnant in less than ideal circumstances, a slut? Using phrases such as "successful slutdom" in your column is calling her a slut.
And while making a profit off of her pregnancy by selling the photographs of the newborn is reprehensible, it is not without precedence for celebrities to make such arrangements to document milestone events and making such an arrangement is not additional evidence that Spears is a tramp.
You know what happens when you put most sixteen year olds of any gender on a pedestal and hold them up as an example for younger kids to follow? They fall off.
Susan Estrich calling ANYONE else a "slut" is pretty rich.
ReplyDeleteI swear, you'd think that JLS is the only 16 year old in this country to ever get pregnant.
The sad thing is, JLS's pregnancy won't serve as a cautionary tale to anyone. She made money from selling the story and Hollywood will undoubtedly not ever hold it against her so long as she is young and cute. This being in stark contrast to the non-celeb pregnant 16-year-old, whose life has just taken up residence at the bottom of a very steep hill, one that is not insurmountable, but which will take a lot of hard work to overcome.
ReplyDeleteJay - It was pretty rich and I could not help but the sense that Estrich was envious of how easy it was for JLS to become pregnant, because it was not so easy for her, which makes the whole thing even more twisted.
ReplyDeleteLisa - You are absolutely correct.
