This is deceptively simple yet suave deescalation, served with a self-aware wink and a side of heavy mascara.

Dolly Parton, for example -- she of iconic voice, sky-high hair and ample cleavage -- was quick to clarify her stance this week when a comment she made about supporting a \"woman in the White House\" was apparently misinterpreted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/DollyParton/posts/10153876144694755\" target=\"_blank\">Per Facebook\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDollyParton%2Fposts%2F10153876144694755&width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a few things here. For one, it's kind of refreshing to know that the 70-year-old Ms. Parton, in the midst of a months-long national tour, is doing her own social media. (No intern wrote that. Come on.) More importantly, I'll admit that this post provoked some mixed feelings for me -- if there's one thing female politicians don't need in the last lap of a historic bid for the presidency, it's more mentions of boobs and PMS as women's defining characteristics. Not to mention: Dolly. You \u003cem>really\u003c/em> don't know what side you're on at this point? They're pretty different sides, folks. Do some reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The one she held in Los Angeles in October 2015 was widely reported on in a way that others are not, precisely because she was at the helm, and precisely because she used it as a platform to speak very openly, and emotionally, about her life experiences and the double standards all women face. Photos of the event show her holding signs that read \"FUCK YO 30 SHOWERS\" and \"STRIPPERS HAVE FEELINGS TOO.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xhED-DLSco\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The website accompanying the SlutWalk now serves as a space for women to share \u003ca href=\"http://www.amberroseslutwalk.com/your-stories/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their own stories\u003c/a> of sexist abuse and slut-shaming, and prides itself on being “a completely inclusive space” with “a zero tolerance policy on all hateful language, racism, sexism, ableism, fat-shaming, transphobia, or any other kind of bigotry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact has been sizeable, and Rose has since found herself appearing in sketches for both \u003cem>Inside Amy Schumer\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Funny or Die \u003c/em>that were equal parts hilarious and subversive\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeiSx5MNDvg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funny or Die's \"Walk of No Shame With Amber Rose\" was, in particular, gloriously sex positive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68kmBoUru-k\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to all of this, Rose has become a voice for other celebrity women.

If I’m done, why do I have to sit in the house and be lonely?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her years in the spotlight, Rose has successfully transformed herself from objectified video girl into a bonafide fourth-wave feminist icon.

Janet was disinvited from that year’s Grammys. Meanwhile, Justin was not only allowed to attend, but also performed. Janet was blacklisted from radio and music video channels for the next several years, leading to multiple album flops, while Justin got to be goofy on SNL and become a movie star.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And what's worse is that Justin let Janet take all the heat, more concerned with making it as a solo artist than doing the right thing. Granted, the way America so easily absolved him of any wrongdoing wasn't really up to him and speaks to a national legacy of racism and sexism that's far bigger than one single boy band member. But what was up to him was whether or not he used his privilege to highlight the unfair advantage he enjoys in this world and the hypocrisy of it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Twitter had been around back in 2004, maybe Janet and Justin's career trajectories would have taken different courses. Maybe so many wouldn't have kept quiet as Justin moonwalked away from the mess he helped create, using Janet's brother's appropriated dance moves to boot. There's no way to know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Justin apologized for his tweet and says he feels \"misunderstood.\" So does Janet. So do many African Americans. So do most people who aren't straight white dudes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's time for Justin to take a seat and some of his own medicine, the same dose he prescribed for Britney, another woman he used and then discarded to get to where he is today: Cry me a river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/06/giphy-1.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28050\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/06/giphy-1.gif\" alt=\"justin cry me a river gif\" width=\"595\" height=\"335\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>To learn more about how troubling Nipplegate really was, listen to this episode of The Cooler:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/245551173&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Or read all about it:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I cried all the way to school, as I listened to the reports roll in about the teachers sacrificing themselves, the scared young students, and the commentary on living in a world where even innocent children are targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the principal asked us not to discuss the news, I kept wondering how I would manage to keep it together in the midst of this horrible day.

I cried all the way to school, as I listened to the reports roll in about the teachers sacrificing themselves, the scared young students, and the commentary on living in a world where even innocent children are targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the principal asked us not to discuss the news, I kept wondering how I would manage to keep it together in the midst of this horrible day. Just outside the classroom, I took a deep breath, wiped my mascara off my cheeks, and remembered the \"Just keep swimming\" scene from \u003cem>Finding Nemo:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/4WVoC_CJbow'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/4WVoC_CJbow'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>And, you know what?

When faced with news of\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/06/13/why-the-orlando-shooting-isnt-as-surprising-as-it-should-be/\"> last week's Orlando shooting\u003c/a>, at first I was at a loss, but then I remembered my \u003cem>Finding Nemo\u003c/em> moment.
