The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer
3.0
If you know Amy Schumer's work, you will know pretty much what you are going to read here. I have not seen much of her, so gave it a try. I am happy for her in that she has grown to love herself as she is, and seems anxious to encourage other young women to gain the same self acceptance. I applaud her support of better gun legislation.
That being said, I am from (the generation?) the group that thinks you can share your growth and learning without sharing every scatalogical detail of your experiences. I mean, dish with the girlfriends but don't put it in print. And oh, theft is theft and a felony is not a badge of honor.
And another point? Someone who experiences blackouts while drinking has not won a genetic lottery. (I'm hoping she is being sarcastic.) Rather, and given her father's alcoholism, she is likely an alcoholic. This is not something that will improve with age and continued dependence.
It's great to be tough and sassy and strong. But it can be shared and demonstrated and taught in classier ways. Then again, the young have always assumed they are the first to discover self love and self worth and that shock is its own justification. And that we are not supposed to be shocked, since it is just reality.
