scoring? really? jeez.specifically for their
I'm not disagreeing with those principles as long as they're applied in a genderless, or even personless mien.
I think we agree that CG has been singled out as a function of her gender, despite the fact that she deserves the critique with the rest of the ecorati, especially Hollywood.
There's JJ, Townsend, MikeD, most of the Sally team, most of whom are guys. I'm sure they get shit too, but do they actually have a thread hip-ocrisy

It's just that if the principle espoused concerning the hypocrisy of supporting the AGW theory while being a skier has any substance, I'll first hold myself up to that standard rather than point fingers at some obnoxious girl.
Live internally first, glass houses and all that.
Yeah, it's a matter of degree and sex, but what I can do starts with me.
Oh good lord. One can criticize CG’ choices versus her public stances without it necessarily having misogynist roots.
All these advertising models/action sports stars who are espousing climate action while jetting around the world and riding in helos are hypocritical at some level.

I'm pretty tired of the skiers flying on planes so they're hypocritical argument... not to say I haven't cringed on occasion. But still, that shit is a drop in the bucket and misses the point. Here...

Humans are hypocrites, myself included. We all have the right to judge people and I judge people on how they judge other people. In the world of social media, I'm told, eyeballs equal success. Do want you want but I don't have the time for it, I'm too busy taking my single use plastics to the recycling center in my 15mpg super duty.
Yes, of course one can criticize anyone, male or female, without it having misogynistic roots. Except we don't have threads devoted to those other action sports stars and their hypocrisy. Why is that? You're fooling yourself if you don't think it has something to do with her gender.Quote:

No matter how many skiers give up cars and planes, the ONLY way to stop it is through massively deploying governmental resources across the globe, which means politicians need to feel the pressure for their voters. Advocacy, social media, flying to events, and celebrity involvement are big components to that.
I’m not downplaying individual changes in lifestyle, but if the power grid and all new cars turned renewable, then the rest of it wouldn’t really matter.
Single use plastics and straws aren’t great, but there is no way a straw in Vail ends up in the ocean. Spending time fighting about that stuff distracts from the bigger battle.
Maybe once we save the fucking World we can turn on each other and decide who was core enough. Until then I’m going to focus my anger elsewhere.
Core’r than you, dude
She took a helicopter to do some wedding photos! Can we just agree how stupid that was.
Here's the thing...if you want to espouse environmentalism and carbon reduction and stopping global warming ad nauseum, then you CANT TAKE A HELICOPTER TO DO SOME WEDDING PHOTOS!
Yeah, but all that means is that the US collectively drives a lot more than it flies. It doesn't mean that for an individual's choices, flying has a smaller footprint than driving.Quote:

The city park / pond / lake down the street would certainly suffice.
It's the total lack of self awareness and accountability in these instances - and always being able to make excuses for your own actions when called out on your bullshit - that makes me frustrated.
Why is that not OK but heliskiing is OK?Quote:

Huh? Sounds like more thoughtless hypocrisy. An environmentalist who expects to have the right to speak up about carbon pollution should live on a path, not a street. If they live on a street they forfeit their right to speak out no?Quote:

Didn't JJ do 3 films involving self propulsion in response to criticism? Suddenly dude is legit and has license to speak out? Nope the guys throwing stones just lowered the bar some more and kept at.Quote:

I think the heli for wedding photos is a bad look. No question about that from me.
I also understand that this is a collective action problem and by far the most effective thing one can do on a individual level to fix it is to work on the politics. For example, POW AF spent a fair amount of money against some of the biggest climate deniers in Congress last cycle. Townsend was knocking on doors for Jessica Morse in our district.
In the long run, that kind of stuff is more effective than becoming an ascetic hermit and using rocks for tools.
There's a lot of stuff posted on this forum on this topic that reminds me of this...

And this (the original)...
Attachment 294611
Maybe low key, but still definitely an element of it. Not saying POW is above critique, but some of the critiques have logical holes.

What were we arguing about again?
Oh yeah.
We are all sexists, except those of us that aren't.
So don't criticize someone who makes a living off of public image.
And doing more cool shit than you do.
If they sit down to pee.
It could never be about the substance of what they are bringing or how they bring it.
It could only be because they have tits and a cute smile that we are critical...
Back to the real issue...
Why does Brody have to LEAD Caroline down the trail to their awaiting chariot of privilege?
Have the fumes for the spent Jet-A made her too woozy to traverse the knife edge ridge in white satin high heels?
Of does he have some suppressed misogynist sexism that won't allow him to let her use her level 3 skills to get back to the choppah!?!?
Fuck that guy! I'm gonna unfollow him on instagram! That'll show him!
