Drôle d’interview qui ressemble plus à une discussion entre copines, la jeune journaliste et la vieille féministe gauchiste (maoïste, dit-elle). Les questions sont presque plus intéressantes que les réponses. Il est question de mayonnaise et de #Marie_Kondo dont #Barbara_Ehrenreich a critiqué le mauvais anglais.
Well, I think what I said was really stupid—ill considered and written quickly and I was mortified. Some editor had asked me to write something about Marie Kondo, so I watched part of her show on Netflix, and I was appalled. I hope that’s not intrinsically bad. I’ll admit something to you—one thing that was also going on was that my mother would just throw all my clothes out of the chest of drawers and onto the floor when she thought things were messy. Something about that got triggered with Marie Kondo and I felt this sort of rage, not that that’s an excuse or anything.
#Rebecca_Solnit aussi.
Bizarre !
