Classy…
executive editor of Marie Claire fat-shaming. https://t.co/fGubGbRE94— Roger (@Roger247) May 3, 2016
Now this is funny.
Last night while making a pretty funny joke about Madonna’s awful outfit at the #MetGala in New York City, conservative Stephen Miller (@Redsteeze) drew the ire of Marie Claire executive editor Lea Goldman who accused him of body shaming the aged pop star.
First up, here’s the joke that set Goldman off (The woman on the right is Melisandre from “Game of Thrones.” In the first episode of this season, it was revealed that once she takes off a magical necklace, she transforms from a hottie into an old lady):
Madonna with necklace. Madonna without necklace pic.twitter.com/N58ulGJBIg

Funny, right? Not to Goldman:
This is what men do to women with power. Shame them. About their bodies and their ages. I see you. https://t.co/5SFndkSiua
— Lea Goldman (@lea) May 3, 2016
A back-and-forth ensued between Miller and Madonna’s champion:
This is how members of media attempt to create Twitter mobs over jokes they don't like. Get lost. https://t.co/ZJJ74zgoT0

@redsteeze @redsteeze cause that joke was so highbrow, so sophisticated, it flew over my head. U made a sexist remark, now own it big shot.
— Lea Goldman (@lea) May 3, 2016
Because Madonna is an empowered feminist she needs an entire magazine to rescue her from Twitter jokes.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 3, 2016
Goldman then complained about “trolls” coming after her, ignorant of the fact that she started it:
@RobProvince here come the band of trolls, right on cue.

You tweeted me first. https://t.co/mezf3DOno5

I shit you not this is where the executive editor of a magazine who tweeted me out of the blue claims misogyny and online bullying.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 3, 2016
Now for the good part. Our feminist hero has engaged in the very same behavior she accused Miller of, albeit against some random woman in line at a pharmacy.
From April 2013: “I feel bad for these pants.”

Conservatives quickly pointed out her hypocrisy:
.@lea Things I've never done: Taken pictures of strangers and posted them online to shame them to my Twitter followers.
You sick fraud.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 3, 2016
Feminism is powerful magazine editors shaming random people on the street without any power behind their back. https://t.co/So7edFbK0P

She took a picture of a stranger to humiliate them but is totally mad about a crack at Madonna. https://t.co/sTidMVPXhf

.@lea This is what women do to women without power. Shame them. About their bodies and their ages. I see you.

@redsteeze @DocWashburn @lea I guess it's not ok to make fun of older women, but just fine to make fun of fat women.
— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) May 3, 2016
@lea body shamer. This is actually rude tho. She's not a celebrity who puts herself out there, this is a private citizen u mocked.

@DavidDeanLee1 @lea those SJWs are a bunch of hypocrites
— Mitch Behna (@MitchBehna) May 3, 2016

Maybe she can explain why her invasion of this woman’s privacy and shaming on the Internet is appropriate but Miller’s joke about a rich celebrity is not?
