I'm so angry that when I was a kid, all I knew about Dolly Parton was the size of her chest. And her hair color, I guess. Imagine taking all that talent and decency and goodness and organization -Imagination Library!!!- and reducing it, dismissively, to jokes about her appearance
(I know why)
That's how hard they push it. And usually in the same stories that claim their "moral" is "don't judge by appearances."
Meanwhile this woman is over here writing incredible songs, teaching a nation of kids to read, and turning down medals of freedom because that's how much class she has. https://t.co/5L0R2DA8Qs
When I was a kid, my cousins had this dirty-joke book w a whole section on Dolly Parton, & every single joke was about her boobs. This was the 1st time I realized Polly Darton on Sesame Street was based on a real person - so the sum total of what I now knew about her was boobs \U0001f926 https://t.co/IerNMMZ0W1
