      > “Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex,” Ratajkowski penned. “Less than a year later, we separated.”

      Why do these people feel the need to blast this personal stuff at us? More publicity? Look at me? Make the ex look bad?

      I couldn’t finish it because it’s just her being immature and creating narratives in her head about how other people feel. Maybe by the conclusion she shows some growth?

      I remember when I stopped having sex with my fiancĂ©. They where like ‘thats totally normal, it happens.’ And I was like ‘not to me, I’m a sexual person and if I don’t want to have sex with my partner that means there is an underlying factor in our relationship.’ We broke up about six months later.

      The last paragraph hit hard but I can’t help feeling she is so at war with herself and women. Maybe there is something honest about this and the ways women fight against themselves and each other but I found this upsetting and misogynistic about the way she perceives the gazes of other women


    6. We don’t want nursing to be sexualized— as it should NOT be —but there’s something disconcerting about putting on full glam and a leather fit with no shirt and hanging your/a baby off your boob like a prop for an article header. She sure is something

      This is actually quite sad.
      An objectively beautiful woman, no matter how she wants to frame it, suffers from extremely low self-esteem, and seeking validation from random men.
      Hope she heals and grow.

      I didn’t mind this article.

      I think a lot of women can relate.

      Even though she makes a living from being conventionally attractive, she still was insecure due to her scrub ex.

      I think she had a lot of negative stigma around single motherhood as well, which kept her in that relationship, which I think a lot of other women will also relate to.

      Far be it from me to defend a celebrity, but the headline is clearly misleading. I read the article and I suggest you do too.

      the end of the article made me emotional! better than i anticipated. i liked her book and have enjoyed her other writing. yall are so rude and dismissive. also “it’s always a DJ” made me LOL

    11. She went into a lottt of detail in this essay. I mean, the stuff she wrote about the person who sounds a lot like Eric Andre is a lot more interesting than this headline

    12. Page six? The entire essay is in The Cut. Someone below linked to the non-paywalled version. The Page Six article isn’t a decent summary. And of course Page Six isn’t going to capture any nuance.

    13. Such a peculiar habit to participate in this sub and complain about celebrities sharing about their lives. I absolutely want to hear about the dating experiences from an extremely privileged beautiful woman because if they’re doing these things to them, they’re doing it to everyone. It’s always nice to be reminded.

    14. The more I read about her, the more I like her. I haven’t yet read The Cut’s article, but I think I would enjoy to read her memoir one day. Fuck her ex, however.

      These comments are so mean! I totally understood her and I’ve never been divorced

      I thought it was fantastically written and very relatable too.

      “This list goes on, but for legal reasons, will not.”

    17. MediocrePotato44 on

      Listen, I don’t want to hate men. But every experience, whether it’s my own, or reading about another person’s experience, how can I not? Every goal post they erect for what is considered a perfect woman is an illusion.

      the end was particularly impactful, just going to leave it here starting with her meeting with a divorce lawyer.

      *Then he dropped his pen and looked at me directly, his tone shifting. “Y’know, I see a lotta cases,” he began. “Women who are abused emotionally, sexually, physically, monetarily. Last week, I had a client who we’d been working with for months, gathering the information we needed to make sure her divorce would be seamless. Her husband was awful to her, just awful. Okay?”*

      *”She called me yesterday and told me she was no longer divorcing him.” He paused, a practiced performer. “You should be proud of yourself,” he said. “Most women don’t leave.”*

      ***I left his office that day with an unexpected gift: a new kind of understanding of myself.*** *Leaving my marriage wasn’t about seeking anyone’s attention or approval. It was the opposite. A hard choice that came with a lot of pain and at a great cost. Becoming a single mother changed the way people looked at me, exactly as I’d feared it would. But* ***it also allowed me to finally see myself. I wasn’t left; I left.*** *I knew then that being able to leave, to say “no,” was the only real superpower I’d gained through divorce.* ***I was brave. Really, actually brave.***

      *Still,* ***I felt nervous walking to Elder Millennial’s apartment later, repeating the lines I’d rehearsed in my head and with my friends.*** *“Just be direct!” they had told me. I sat on the floor, cross-legged,* ***feeling oddly exposed. I was taking off my costume and going off script.*** *“Look,” I began, “the dirty talk isn’t really working for me.”*

      *“Of course! It’s only fun if it’s fun for both of us,”* ***he responded too quickly, as if reading from his own script.*** *“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”*

      *I wondered the same thing. It occurred to me then that,* ***despite my performance as the supervillain, a character I’d believed made me impenetrable, I was just as misguided and vulnerable as I’d been in my 20s*** *when I was playing the good girl.* ***I’d never been connected to my own desires.*** *It was all ridiculous, a silly game of performances with no substance. What was left for either of us? I knew then that I’d never see him again, so I kissed him — hard.* ***I wanted to be the praying mantis one last time.***

      *Which is maybe why, mid-thrust,* ***when I felt the sting of a slap, a hard one, harder than any he’d delivered before,*** *with the hiss of his words “I didn’t ask for your feedback, bitch,”* ***I almost started to cry.***

      *I was there for power, but* ***I’d forgotten:*** *Animal brain, I thought,* ***waiting for him to come.***

    19. You know what. Kudos to her for being honest about a very harsh experience for many women. She might have won the genetic lotteri but in the end she’s just a woman. Experiencing birth amd motherhood like the rest of us.

      Good luck Emily. Thank you for your candor

      From far below the ‘Sex! Now that we have your attention
’ head line:
      > The following year, Bear-McClard was accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior with teen girls in an explosive Variety exposé. He has not addressed the allegations.

    21. I feel conflicted about this essay
I heavily relate to trying to fill a deep well of need though male validation and thinking I’m “empowering” myself through casual sex, only for it to make me feel worse. I think there is value in being honest about that, I don’t think those nuanced stories are often told.

      But at the same time, I think Emrata still has a lotttt of internalized misogyny to unpack and honestly sometimes just comes off mean. Like saying that her single friends secretly wish to be married/have kids feels condescending, especially in the context of how it’s something she’s already experienced. Then saying her married friend is jealous of her casual sex and wishes she could be with “anyone but her husband” also was a weird assumption that feel like a way of her highlighting how ~different~ she is. She also just adds little jabs like making fun of the bar the guy suggested, or talking about how her high school friend came immediately, that felt mean for no reason other than to make her seem cool and hot. Which she is! But it feels like she needs to prove it at the expense of others.

      I feel for her and hope she has better experiences with men in the future, that guy was obviously awful. I just wish that we didn’t have to compare ourselves to other women to feel valuable, but that is the position that patriarchy tries to force us into.

      That ending was like a gut punch. I can’t believe we still wait for them to finish after saying something like that 

    23. Dry_Educator_691 on

      Eric Andre literally posted a naked picture of the two of them after she broke up with him. The “loud clothes” and all that
.. yes, this all checks out. He gives me the creeps

      I think you can say this is a well written article whilst also holding the view she perhaps has as much work to do on herself as the men she laments throughout it.

      There seems to be a theme that everyone is jealous of her (single friends jealous she was married and has a kid, married friend jealous she gets to sleep with so many guys) and that she is above all the men she slept with (she didn’t like them, they were in love with her and she wasn’t interested). I would also say that there seems to be a certain level of emotional manipulation in the relationship she talks about (that doesn’t mean it minimises her own experiences).

      Overall it just comes across as an attempt to intellectualise her decision to try and revenge fuck across NYC.
