Meryl Streep Talks Florence Foster Jenkins & Acting After 40 In WSJ Magazine August 2016

What caught my eye in the article was a comment about Meryl Streep and also Hillary Clinton. The deep level of its misogyny prompts me to post Streep's 4 minute speech about 'women firsts'. The comment is:

By all means let's take the time and effort to glorify a shameless socialist, a prostitute at least for totalitarianism, if not in other more conventional ways (as, being charitable, a solid plurality of actresses are). As usual the WSJ magazine is aiming to interest a very narrow slice of the .0001%, all of whom live either in Bel Air, Manhattan's Upper East Side, or are current/former Maobama or Dykesmistress von Rodham high counselors. Vomit.
