Before running out to watch “Gone Girl” this weekend, be sure to take a minute to read Shannon Kelley’s epic rant about the “Cool Girl” rant from the book that went viral. A sampling from Kelley’s take:
And Cool Girl’s mission (besides being hot — the absence of which renders any girl, no matter how many burgers she’ll put down pre- or post-threesome — Not Really That Cool) is to leave the men surrounding her comfortable. Ergo, she is never angry, and is resolutely unruffled by those things that render so many other girls tragically Uncool, among them: thoughts, feelings, concerns about the patriarchy.
Above all, Cool Girl is unchallenging.
