I don't get this 'you speak up now, BUT YOU WERE FINE WITH IT IN 2004, how can that be?!'. Self-screen how you speak up about things you feel very passionately about now and try to explain to yourself why you didn't on a random Monday of 2011, you have the answer. You most likely didn't do a 180 and had questions but were not even close to articulate it. Over time you thought about it over and over until you got oh-so fed up (even for reasons like seeing someone celebrate something you deeply resented) you spoke to someone about it, then you got confident and thought you could defend every point (since you've thought about it that much!) and finally.. said something in everyone's ego massager: social media. People do this all the time, it's almost a characteristic of this time in history, to be 'outspoken' without necessarily having a clean record or having to align to what you're saying because 'how dare you think you can know me from my social media!'.
I don't really care about sample sizes but it seems to me that it's the kind of seemingly minor issue that can be irritating, like 'f*ck this s*t.. OKAY let's find another skirt..'.. especially if it's something that is recurrent with specific brands (like you know you will struggle just by knowing you'll be working with céline samples that day). We've all dealt with that in our own fields, things we find stupid/unfair/morally questionable but also so small that it does not affects us directly or prevents us from doing our job so it never seems 'necessary' to do more than mumbling 'ugh..'.
What I like about her message is that she sounds polite and chill about it.. I get tired of the extremely dramatic American activism 'families are being torn apart! people have been suffering! women are starving! if you haven't been paying attention, it can only mean you're complicit! make.samples.larger!'. So yeah, very thankful about that..
