that openly feminist pop culture figures, like Tina Fey for instance, should be above reproach or criticism, but the problem with having so few of them is that we—loosely used “we”—pin all our hopes and dreams on them, which makes it exceedingly easy to tear these women down when they don’t live up to all of our aspirations and projections. We bitch about the fact that every woman has to represent all women all the time, and then we uphold that standard among ourselves. You—loosely used “you”—are not Tina Fey; you are not Liz Lemon. She is not you and she doesn’t have to be. Sorry. Get over it.
