Amazing woman No2.

 

Marilyn Monroe Photographed – Telegraph

 Nah. She had some good genetics. 

 Millions of women have good genetics.

They don't become an enigmatic icon and are still admired and lusted after the world over, 63 years after their death.

 Nah, she was lucky too.

 

What exactly did she do that separates her from any other Hollywood actress? 

 

Heck, your first female PM accomplished far more than her. Although I don't think she looked nearly as good naked..😉

 

Her mother was severely mentally ill. Her father was unknown.

Marilyn was raised in orphanages and fostered out, she was abused mentally, physically and sexually whilst still a child,.

She longed to be a mother, but had three miscarriages and never gave birth.

She was used and abused by men throughout her short career.

Her career lasted just 13 years, yet she became and still is the most famous star in the world.

She was dead, probably murdered! at the age of 36.

 

Some luck.

 That poster probably originated from either a jealous woman or a rabid woman hater.

 What would there be, to be jealous of?

 

 

Ella Fitzgerald was born a few years before Marilyn. She too was an orphan that lived on the streets after running away from an orphanage.

 

But being a less than beautiful black woman, she couldn't use sex as a tool to get what she wanted from powerful, married men. She had to actually BE amazing, not just look amazing..

 

I could walk down the street in Manchester, swing a dead cat and hit 3 women more amazing than Marilyn, in about 15 seconds..

Dolly has made millions and spent it helping others. As far as I know she didn't sleep her way to the top (she has looks no doubt).

No one has ever said she was difficult to work with. She managed to stay married to one man for decades until his recent death.

There are thousands of lives directly impacted by her generosity and philanthropy..

I think that puts her in the amazing category.

Dolly is a one off lovely lady. Stayed with her husband, never had affairs in a life where affairs are rife. Kudos to her.

 Dolly Parton and Ella Fitzgerald are and we're amazing women too.

That doesn’t detract from a single thing I said about Marilyn Monroe.

 I think, so many people just concentrated on her looks. She was much more than a lovely looking woman though, like Princess Diana, she had a vulnerability, an essence about her that transcended the physical. 

People who make disparaging comments about her, 60 odd years after her death, are, imo, possibly people who were jealous of her beauty or pissed off that a woman like that would never look at them twice.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first African American woman to be appointed to the US Supreme Court.

A supremely intelligent woman of impeccable credentials, stellar judicial experience, and a deep reverence for the American Constitution.

That a woman of her calibre was able to withstand and rise above the feral humiliation those degenerate Republican senators** put her through at her confirmation hearing, makes her an ‘amazing woman’ in my view.

I‘ll always be in awe of her.

** including, but not limited to, one of the biggest dickheads in the US senate - Ted Cruz (from 9 minutes in)

 She actually stood tall in the face of great adversity and didn't climb into a bottle of pills and become a problem for everyone around her in personal and professional relationships.

 

Marilyn accomplished about as much as Markle..

🎯👏🏻👏🏻 yes!

Syl, when you get a moment, you should maybe check out the last 6 minutes of the vid I posted. You’d need a heart of stone not to be moved by her words at the end nod

 She's an attorney.  She has likely dished out worse in a court room and every nominee gets eviscerated now. 

 

It's part of our constant, relentless battle in all forms of governance..

 It's not whataboutery. 

 

Our government is toxic and anyone who goes through the confirmation process is in for a bad time..

 

You're cherry picking the events that feed your bias, which keeps feeding the whole process.

"But, as the papers fluttered down to the ground, she was watched by a caretaker who betrayed her to the Gestapo - the secret police.

She and her brother were interrogated and, after a show trial, sentenced to death. They refused to betray the rest of the group but the authorities tracked them down anyway. Within a few months the friends had all been executed.

On the morning that she went to the guillotine, Sophie, aged 21, said:

"Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go... What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?""

 I’m really not doing that. 

I have absolutely no problem with a judge who’s reached the pinnacle of her career, being questioned on some of her rulings. Call me naive but - at that level - I would expect US senators to show at least a modicum of restraint and respect towards a woman whose accomplishments they could never hope to aspire to in the next 2 lifetimes.

Instead we saw a performative pantomime to entertain the Neon God they made, and aiming for a viral moment and a slot on the Fox News bullshit factory (<< THAT’S my bias nod)

Why would you expect Senators to show respect when 90% of the population is baying for them to eviscerate the opposition?
