The second girl at least read the book to confirm that it was shit, she even had Capote on deck as backup. Chick 1 is just lazy
Nope. Girl 2 saw that Girl 1′s absolutely accurate analysis was being shut down just because it wasn’t stated in an intellectual way (in spite of its validity). So Girl 2 reinforced Girl 1′s opinions in solidarity and made sure that it was absolutely clear that Girl 1 was factually correct. WITHOUT taking credit for her observations (”kim is right” instead of “Actually, kim”)
Girls supporting Girls.
Girls not letting other girls be treated poorly.
If you read thirty pages of a book and hate it, that’s a good analysis. Girl 1 literally said, “It sucked for these reasons, and I only got through 30 pages.” She was absolutely paying attention and trying to get it. But if all you get is a headache, fuck that book.

Honorable mentions include Ayo, Liz Toomes, Frigga, Christine Palmer May Parker and Helen Cho.
Serena Williams standing up for herself while referee accuses her of cheating. She had been docked points for coaching that didn’t happen.
This is so….so much deeper than what’s on the surface.
This umpire basically accused her of cheating! And penalized her for his accusations. This is touchy for Serena being that they have been conspiring against her for the longest with the whole drug testing. She’s had it with them opposing her with no merit or basis! SHE HAS NEVER CHEATED which has been proven time after time with those negative results. and to accuse her of that during this game is why she is extremely and rightfully emotional! The pain and humiliation in her voice says it all. It really hurt her for him to accuse her of that so publicly too. He announced it during the match on the mic to everyone and now that’s like a stain on this moment forever. That’s why she’s demanding he apologize to her and say it over the loudspeaker. To set the record straight that she didn’t do what he alleged.
Honestly she has faced the most her entire career and her mental fortitude to endure it and still be dominant is a miracle. ALWAYS A QUEEN
(this match was painful & angering to watch)
What’s even more annoying is that later on in the game, she got even more frustrated (both due to this and the fact that her and her opponent were playing INCREDIBLY GOOD GAMES!) and smashed her racket, and was docked points. When she called the umpire a thief, he decided to make a power play and cost her a whole game.
Not only did he try to steal this moment from Serena, he also cast a shadow over what should’ve been an AMAZING victory for 20 year old Naomi Osaka, a Haitian-Japanese player who’s the first Japanese Player to win a Grand Slam tournament.
This umpire literally cast a huge stain over this moment for both of these women, all because a black woman spoke to him in a tone he didn’t like. Never in tennis has there been such a severe penalization for something like being called a “thief” when there’s a well-documented history of male tennis players saying much worse.
