I'm going to be a contrarian here, but I felt really annoyed reading this piece about an extremely privileged person, living in a privileged country, with an expensive education, holding a prestigious job at a famous journal listing her woes, while exposing how high-cultured she is by name dropping Kierkegaard, de Beauvoir and de Toqueville... meanwhile people freeze in Ukraine [1] and get killed and raped in their own home in Port-au-Prince [2].

Yes, you can accuse me of what-about-ism. I still think and have always thought that while one's very allowed to gaze back at themselves, it is better done in private or amongst friends. Doing so in public never elegant, IMO.
