Viral Article Book Club: Blake Lively, Meghan Markle & The Internet Rage Machine

Writer and showrunner Sierra Teller Ornelas joins Chelsea for another Viral Article Book Club. This time, they’re diving into that Cut article, “Why Do These Women Inspire Such Rage?” The two friends unpack the article, which talks about why Meghan (Markle) Sussex and Blake Lively fuel so much ragebait. The two of them get into how these women are very different, the politics of likability, Justin Baldoni’s man bun, Gwyneth and her vagina candles, and how Elon and Trump are weak lil worms who couldn’t survive 1/10th of what women suffer on the internet without trying to make teasing them illegal.
