Do You Like Me?

Hello for the third time in 8 days. This week we’re covering the full gamut of topics: Why the monarchy will miss Meghan and Harry; a perfect essay on fame and sexism by Lena Dunham; the catch-22 ’likability trap’ that stunts all women’s success and a final deliberation on Back With The Ex. Plus, Harvey Weinstein is going to prison but Roman Polanski is winning French Oscars and Woody Allen would be writing a multi-million dollar memoir (if not stopped by the efforts of his estranged son, Ronan Farrow). Why, oh why, are we still having to deal with these two - given everything we know about their treatment of children? And is Woody Allen’s cancelled book deal a victory for #MeToo or censorship, as Hadley Freeman suggested in a column in The Guardian? Then we inevitably lose our minds about how depressing everything is and need to google pictures of Zendaya and her cute boyfriend to calm us.
