Saturday am. Iced coffee. NYT mag. See which actress Andrew Goldman has accused of sleeping her way to the top. #traditionsicoulddowithout
@jenniferweiner sensing pattern. Little Freud in me thinks you would have liked at least to have had opportunity to sleep way to top
GROSS.“@andrewrgoldman: @jenniferweiner Little Freud in me thinks you would have liked at least to have had opportunity to sleep way to top”- @andrewrgoldman Really think @jenniferweiner wishes she had "more opportunities to sleep way to the top" & is "obsessive" about you? SAD.
- @andrewrgoldman Happy to help. Tip 1: Successful women don't wish/need to "sleep to the top" #2: It's not all about you. @jenniferweiner
- @andrewrgoldman So your response is to say, "You're unfuckable?" I had no prob with the Tippi Q&A but you're proving the case against you.
- @andrewrgoldman No, you reply to cries of misogyny w thin-skinned unfunny attacks on your critic's looks. Then front that it's "absurdism."
- @andrewrgoldman If you can't respond to criticism without embodying the very douchebaggery you're accused of... C'mon.
- @andrewrgoldman @embeedub Believe me, you could benefit from her advice. It's not Stalinism for people to call you on such obvious BS.
- @emilynussbaum @embeedub my attempt was to embody the Andrew Dice Clay I was being accused of being.
- @emilynussbaum @embeedub please provide me with an alternative response to such bullshit that wouldn't have offended
- @andrewrgoldman @embeedub Pretty ironic, bc that was ADC's claim too: he was just being satirical. & you know, you don't HAVE to respond.
- @andrewrgoldman I had problems w yr Whitney Q&A, you defended it, I didn't agree 100%, but I listened to yr take. It's not that complicated.
- @andrewrgoldman You can't control people's responses. But honestly, if enough readers sense this vibe, they may be onto something.
- @emilynussbaum @embeedub now I'm ADC and readers may be "onto something?" Doesn't that sound exactly like Stalinism?
- @emilynussbaum @embeedub please provide me with an alternative response to such bullshit that wouldn't have offended
- @andrewrgoldman And even if they're not (like I said, I wasn't bugged by Tippi), who cares? Be the non-troll you want to see in the world.
