It's Disgusting How This Male Writer Described Margot Robbie in Vanity Fair

Rich Cohen, a writer, contributing editor, and co-creator of the short-lived HBO television show, Vinyl, penned an in-depth cover story featuring Margot Robbie for Vanity Fair magazine. Since its publication, the piece has been drawing criticisms from the online community—as it should.

The article has sparked outrage for its sexist and misogynistic undertones, particularly in the language used when referring to Robbie’s appearance. He uses terms like "second-semester freshman,""simple" and "too fresh to be pegged."

America is so far gone, we have to go to Australia to find a girl next door. In case you've missed it, her name is Margot Robbie. She is 26 and beautiful, not in that otherworldly, catwalk way but in a minor knock-around key, a blue mood, a slow dance. She is blonde but dark at the roots. She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes. She can be sexy and composed even while naked but only in character. As I said, she is from Australia. To understand her, you should think about what that means.

This article is one of many profiles of female actresses that have been fiercely criticized because of the way in which the writers in question have focused predominantly on superficial topics, as opposed to writing about more relevant matters relating to their acting careers and other endeavors.

The online community came to Robbie's defense and has since denounced the article entirely, particularly questioning the integrity of the writer and editors for publishing it altogether.

And this about sums it up...
