Lindy West<\/span> is the most successful feminist writer of her (and my) generation. In her pomp at Jezebel<\/em>, she mastered both viral takedowns\u2014sorry, Love Actually<\/em><\/a>\u2014and confessional writing. She embraced adjectives that were meant to demean her: loud<\/em>, fat<\/em>, shrill<\/em>. When Lindy shouted, women listened.<\/p>\n

That background is what makes the publication of her new memoir, Adult Braces, <\/em>such a cultural moment. Adult Braces<\/em> is many things: a paean to the varied landscapes of America, an advert for #vanlife, a reminder to be grateful that your<\/em> partner hasn\u2019t talked you into a throuple with a much thinner woman. It is also the tombstone for Millennial Feminism\u2014that swirling brew of Media Twitter, blog snark, the Great Awokening, whaling on Lena Dunham, fat positivity, and boring straight people identifying as queer through accounting tricks. To read Lindy West is to gaze backwards in time, to an era when it was acceptable to write \u201cwelp!\u201d in copy.<\/p>\n

West lived the Millennial writer\u2019s dream. She rose from blogging for the Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger<\/em> to a similar job at the new-media darling Jezebel<\/em>, and went on to write columns for legacy outlets such as The Guardian<\/em>. On the side, she published a New York Times<\/em> best-selling memoir, Shrill<\/em>, and turned it into a television show that ran for three seasons. She left Twitter after being bombarded with abuse but remained unbowed. Sure, #MeToo was a witch-hunt, she wrote<\/a> in the Times<\/em>: \u201cI\u2019m a Witch and I\u2019m Hunting You.\u201d There was even a fairy-tale ending, with a handsome musician named Ahamefule Oluo who loved her just as she was. \u201cMy wedding was perfect,\u201d she wrote<\/a> in 2015, \u201cand I was fat as hell the whole time.\u201d Can women have it all? It looked like Lindy West could.<\/p>\n

In light of this, Adult Braces<\/em> makes two big claims. The first is that quite a lot of the above story\u2014the Authorized Version of the Life of Lindy West\u2014was a buffed-up version of the truth. Getting death threats was not character-building, not some little online brouhaha, but psychologically disturbing in a way that spilled over into her offline life. (\u201cThe trolling was so extreme that Monica Lewinsky reached out<\/em>,\u201d she writes.) She felt like an outsider on Shrill<\/em>, reduced to hearing other writers discuss whether her (real) dad\u2019s death was too much of a downer to include in the series. Her fatness wasn\u2019t only a joyful expression of her appetites; instead she has now realized that \u201cI am at my biggest when I am at my saddest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even her relationship wasn\u2019t all that it seemed. In her 2019 essay collection, The Witches Are Coming<\/em>, she had written that she and Oluo\u2014her \u201cbest friend\u201d and a \u201conce in a generation\u201d musical talent\u2014had a \u201cdawn ritual\u201d where they lay in bed talking for hours. In Adult Braces<\/em>, she adds that \u201cwhat I omitted was that we\u2019d only developed that \u2018ritual\u2019 to mitigate a toxic pattern we\u2019d been stuck in for years: I\u2019d wake up anxious, I\u2019d vomit my anxiety on Aham, he\u2019d snap at me for triggering his anxiety, I\u2019d feel alone and unsupported, I\u2019d stare at him with tears in my eyes until he had a panic attack, he\u2019d zone out for the rest of the day and not listen to a word I said.\u201d<\/p>\n

As it offers a revisionist history of West\u2019s 2010s, Adult Braces <\/em>makes another grand claim: that West is now polyamorous and lovin\u2019 it. Yes, she might have been upset when a fan texted her with the news that Oluo was out in public kissing another woman. (Even then, she admits halfway through the book, that wasn\u2019t the whole truth: \u201cI told you Aham was secretly seeing one woman in 2019. He was actually seeing two.\u201d) But really, she absolutely adores her and Oluo\u2019s now-mutual girlfriend, Roya, to the extent that through sheer force of will, she has become bisexual. It only took driving a van from Seattle to the Florida Keys and back, while also undergoing cosmetic dentistry, to realize this.<\/p>\n

When I read Adult Braces<\/em>, my instinctive reaction was: I don\u2019t believe you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To me, it seemed obvious that Oluo, who is mixed race, had successfully used West\u2019s desire to be progressive against her: \u201cHe believed that monogamy was, at its root, a system of ownership. I had to admit that perhaps I didn\u2019t feel it as keenly, as a white person.\u201d Oluo had also rebranded himself as a \u201cnon-binary he\/they,\u201d perhaps to shrug off any suggestion that he was acting like every harem-patrolling patriarch in history.<\/p>\n

Now, I know plenty of people who have come to a different understanding of their sexuality as adults\u2014mostly Later-Life Lesbians, or LLLs\u2014but it seems an unlikely coincidence that the first woman West has ever been attracted to was already her husband\u2019s girlfriend. Not least when the book includes this line: \u201cBeing cool about polyamory felt like a growing imperative in progressive circles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Read: The horseshoe theory of polyamory<\/a><\/p>\n

The reaction to the book has been fascinating, by which I mean that basically no one else believes West\u2019s account of her polyamorous relationship either. This discourse has become so overwhelming that in a recent Substack post<\/a>, West expressed annoyance and defensiveness that anyone would question the latest version of her story: \u201cMy life isn\u2019t subject to public audit. I already gave you what I wanted to give you.\u201d<\/p>\n

This might be true, although I would say again<\/a> that if you don\u2019t want people picking over your personal life, avoid writing a memoir.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, I do feel great sympathy for West. How was she to know that the great omert\u00e0<\/em> of Millennial Feminism\u2014that we had to take whatever people said about their life stories at face value\u2014had broken?<\/p>\n

Over the past half decade,<\/span> our unchallenged deference to people\u2019s own declarations about their lives has collapsed. We saw too many flimsy or obviously politicized accusations sneak under the wire of \u201cBelieve women.\u201d Just think of Tara Reade, whose unconvincing<\/a> claims of sexual assault against Joe Biden were seized on<\/a> by Republicans, and who announced that she had defected<\/a> to Russia in 2023. We have watched as former icons of body positivity shot themselves up with GLP-1s at the first opportunity\u2014suggesting that they did not, in fact, feel happy and healthy at any size. Some of them, like Lizzo, maintain<\/a> that they only tried<\/em> GLP-1s, but have actually lost weight through \u201cmind-over-matter.\u201d (If you believe that, I\u2019ve got a crystal flute to sell you.)<\/p>\n

The debate around West\u2019s book has focused almost exclusively on litigating the happiness of her relationship, but Adult Braces<\/em> offers another example of the collapse of self-identification. At one point, her therapist, Judith, suggests that she might have ADHD. West is skeptical, but she has always been disorganized, though high-achieving, and figures: Why <\/em>not get a prescription for stimulants?<\/em> Sadly, her health provider has other ideas. Dr. Buzzkill tells West that she will need to speak with her mother, because (as the DSM<\/em><\/a>-5<\/em> states) ADHD is a disorder that is present from childhood. \u201cI should have said no,\u201d West writes. \u201cI was nearly forty years old at this point. My word on my own life should be sufficient, and under no circumstances should a medical professional need to call my mommy!\u201d<\/p>\n

My word on my own life should be sufficient<\/em>\u2014there it is. This, to put it bluntly, is not how medical diagnoses work, or I would have had a brain tumor 15 times so far. But it is the Millennial mantra\u2014I am the captain of my ship, the author of my life, the protagonist of reality. Incidentally, this is the same logic that uncritically affirms young children\u2019s assertions that they are the opposite sex. That position is also part of the progressive package endorsed by West, despite her writing this about GLP-1 prescriptions for adolescents: \u201cWegovy has been approved for children as young as twelve, when we don\u2019t even know the long-term physical effects, let alone the mental ones.\u201d Wow, sounds like we should be very careful about powerful, life-altering drugs and probably not accuse anyone who has questions about them of secretly wanting chubby kids to die.<\/p>\n

The interesting question is why West craved an ADHD diagnosis so badly\u2014apart, presumably, from access to the delicious fruits of Big Pharma. \u201cWhen Judith introduced the notion I might have ADHD, a weight of shame I didn\u2019t even know I carried was vaporized,\u201d she writes. To me, this is a very telling remark about the milieu in which West has found herself. Perhaps the greatest hallmark of Millennial Feminism was how harshly it treated women. We were the ones who were supposed to give up our boundaries, rewrite our sexualities, and defenestrate our heroines. (Oh, so you admire the suffragists for passing the Nineteenth Amendment? Incorrect, they were \u201cwhite feminists<\/a>.\u201d) And if we were ever fallible, we were supposed to be very, very ashamed.<\/p>\n

This is why so many women who considered themselves left-wing\u2014myself included\u2014eventually parted ways with Millennial Feminism. At the beginning, the movement felt intoxicating and liberating, but it soon became clear that sticking with Millennial Feminism would have required submitting ourselves to a voluntary lobotomy. After all, Lindy West essentially did. The entire ADHD passage in Adult Braces<\/em> shows a naturally funny writer wrestling with the injunction that huge swaths of life are exempt from even the mildest mockery. She concedes that other <\/em>people might be part of what she calls the \u201csocial media ADHD self-diagnosis boom\u201d with behavior \u201cthat frays the edges of credibility (not everything can be because of your ADHD, babe!)\u201d. But of course this could not apply to her<\/em>. As an aside, it appears that West has learned to manage her disorganization the same way that many men do: She now has a wife. In her post defending their relationship, she notes that Roya is excellent at \u201cwatering plants,\u201d obtaining pet insurance, and \u201csend[ing] calendar invites.\u201d<\/p>\n

For me, writing conduct manuals<\/a>\u2014that is, instructing readers on the latest points of political etiquette\u2014was no way to live, and both the style and content of my writing has changed over the past decade. One of the headiest things about Adult Braces<\/em> is how West\u2019s prose style was pickled in the mid-2010s, so her use of caps lock and exclamation marks acted on me as a powerful Proustian madeleine. Please enjoy this dispatch from Savannah, Georgia, once West discovers that the composer of \u201cJingle Bells\u201d also served in the Confederate Army: \u201cJames L. Pierpont was a little bitch, and I\u2019m GLAD he got into a drifted bank and I\u2019m GLAD he got upsot, tbh! More like Shidnight in the Shartin\u2019 of Poop and Peepee!!!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

You can trace the exact moment that West decided she wanted to remain a progressive in good standing more than she wanted to take the piss. It happened right after she was brutalized by the social-media backlash to her take-no-prisoners blogging persona at Jezebel<\/em>. \u201cIt turns out that having thousands of people make fun of you and threaten to rape and murder you can make you feel unsafe in certain spaces for way longer than you expect,\u201d she writes of this period in Adult Braces<\/em>. Much like the liberals driven into the arms of MAGA by a brush with cancellation, West had a taste of vicious misogynistic backlash from internet strangers and retreated into the progressive community of the Pacific Northwest. She went from comparing Hooters to a slavery-themed restaurant in 2009<\/a> to having her stand-in character in the TV series Shrill<\/em>, Annie, get educated<\/a> by strippers that their work was actually very empowering.<\/p>\n

Read: The end of Hooters<\/a><\/p>\n

West herself acknowledged the shift in 2016<\/a>, although she attributed it to \u201clearning to be a socially responsible person.\u201d She added: \u201cYeah, please don\u2019t read anything of mine from before 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course,<\/span> it\u2019s one thing to set rigid and unforgiving rules of human conduct. It\u2019s quite another to expect anyone to live by them. What killed Millennial Feminism was the gap between what its high priestesses demanded and what they were able to endure themselves. If you insist that accepting polyamory is the price of being a good person, and then write a book about your throuple where the front cover shows you with mascara-streaked tears running down your face, people will <\/em>spot the dissonance.<\/p>\n

Similarly, West\u2019s body positivity required her to be superhuman\u2014to be, unlike every other person on the planet, entirely unaffected by waves of strangers criticizing her weight. Her fans demanded that she be permanently fat and permanently happy, and guilt-tripped her for any deviation. \u201cSometimes, when I am doing better and can find the will to cook and think and move and live, I get smaller,\u201d she writes in Adult Braces<\/em>. \u201cOnce, when I posted a selfie on the far side of a particularly epic depression, I received this comment from a stranger: \u2018Can we not watch another fat positive body shrink?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone with an overfamiliar relationship with the biscuit tin myself, I see 2010s fat activism as an understandable reaction by larger people to being attacked for having an (at the time) incurable metabolic disease. It\u2019s not a betrayal to want to be cured of an illness: We don\u2019t think statins are for the weak, or that people with high blood pressure just need to learn self-control. Yet both sides of the weight-loss debate became attached to impossibly doctrinaire positions. One side argued that no one could possibly be fat and<\/em> happy, the other that no one was allowed to be unhappy about being fat. In 2017, West interviewed<\/a> another icon of Millennial Feminism, Roxane Gay, and told her, \u201cIt is important to talk about the fact that weight-loss surgery is dangerous, that people die. It\u2019s barbaric that so many people feel pressured to have this surgery that can kill them.\u201d Gay agreed, describing the treatment as driven by fatphobia, a \u201csurgery to completely rearrange my body for the rest of my life, and I\u2019m going to be nutrient-deprived for the rest of my life, and I might die doing this, but that\u2019s better than spending another day in this body in this world.\u201d Gay had a sleeve gastrectomy in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read: The body-positivity movement is over<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t judge her for that: Gay made a rational decision about the risks of a procedure to expand and prolong her life. But it isn\u2019t purely fatphobia that sees doctors recommend weight-loss treatments. It isn\u2019t social conservatism that has seen so many readers disbelieve West\u2019s rapid-onset bisexuality. Millennial Feminism failed because it was suffocating, immiserating, and often at odds with observable facts about human nature.<\/p>\n

Today, very few traces of it remain. Jezebel<\/em> was sold off and closed. Tumblr has withered. The viral internet no longer reliably delivers traffic to epic takedowns of problematic figures, so hungry young freelancers have largely stopped pitching them. The publishing industry\u2019s lust for jeremiads<\/a> about<\/a> \u201cwhite<\/a> feminism<\/a>\u201d is over. No one has used the word girlboss <\/em>unironically in years. A key feminist legal precedent, Roe v. Wade<\/em>, fell in part because Ruth Bader Ginsburg refused to retire, a fact that makes me wince every time I remember that one of the most-lauded books of Millennial Feminism was Irin Carmon\u2019s Notorious RBG<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In 2014, West wrote a farewell post<\/a> to mark the end of her time at Jezebel<\/em>, headlined, for reasons best known to herself: \u201cMy Fart Will Go On.\u201d (Her Substack is called Butt News, so credit for sticking to a theme.) The post ended with some words of advice for her readers: \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be the Cool Girl. You don\u2019t have to pander. You can be funny and sharp and responsible and humane all at the same time. But don\u2019t be afraid to defend your boundaries. Call a dick a dick. Stuff is changing. We\u2019re winning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadly, there was no time for Millennial Feminism to get tired of all the winning. Nine months later, Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
