I can't express deeply enough how much I don't care about policing other people's words like this. Not my hula hoop, Heart.

I guess that makes me a bad feminist? I don't know. I just know that I would rather have discussions with and about those that I know and care about than some Hollywood actor. Or do I have to call her an actress since she is clearly feminine?
