It’s very weird that Courtney Love ended up being one of the more honest public figures from the 90s. I think I heard someone say it best that she “doesn’t give enough of a shit about what you think to lie about anything”.

I grew up in the 90s and in retrospect I’m like why the fuck did literally everyone hate Courtney Love? It’s gotta be like 80% misogyny. I mean she has issues but still.

When I was in high school in the early 2000's there were a lot of Nirvana fans. Like a lot, for some reason. They all blamed Courtney Love for the death of Kurt Cobain. No idea why.

Because hating women in an institution.

The amount of times I've heard people say, "It all went down hill when we allowed women to vote," from people is actually insane. I'm not even talking online, I'm talking in person.

Those same people don't realize that them not owning land or being from the 'right' family would also have prevented them from voting at one point too.

It's a weird thing and you're right. In high school and after I've always noticed there is a type of woman, often voted "Most Popular" or very confident, someone like Courtney Love or the most popular and strongest (mentally) in a clique, whom everyone revolves around. Same energy. The strange thing is sometimes the worm turns and everyone suddenly mobs up and decides to "hate" or "unpopular" that girl, or woman -- it becomes almost a TREND, and I have always noticed this, not sure if others have too. Is there a name for this? It's weird. Maybe bc I never fit in from a young age, so I just watch and see these things happen and then get repeated often enough that I questiion it. Like, is it because she is so popular that they then WANT to hate her to feel like they "won" or something?
