she’s right you know – Just Holding Hands

This is the last thing I’ll say about it, I swear, but I just want the record to show that no matter who Gillian Anderson (or any celebrity or ANYONE, really) dates, my opinion of her/love for her/admiration for her isn’t defined by it.

Now that that’s been said, it’s possible to disagree/not enjoy the choices that someone makes and still support them and want the best for them. Guess what? I hated her second husband. I don’t know him, obviously, don’t care to, but I disliked him to hell and back and my opinion of him (which is still very negative) doesn’t make me less of a fan of her or her work or whatever. It just means that I think he was an asshole.

Y’all need to learn that loving someone, even in an abstract fan way, doesn’t mean that you have to bow down and kiss their ass and pretend to like things/people that you just don’t like. You can still love them, there’s no “fake fan”/”true fan” divide. You don’t have to trip over yourselves to prove what a worthy fan or feminist you are. It’s not that deep.

Amen to this – we may have never agreed before but today we’re on the same fucking page! Let us all be the fans and feminist we want to be!
