A very strong mixed signal from an industry association, particularly in the performing arts, given to a long-established figure. It is simultaneously a heartfelt pat on the back for a splendid career, and a forceful hint that said career is now over as far as the industry is concerned. Something like receiving a really meaningful hug while behind guided very meaningfully toward the door.
Ah, she's up for a Lifetime Achievement Award for her music career. Do you think she's going to write her autobiography or go on reality TV?

Any speech, ideology, position, or stance that uses the language of feminism to cloak a thoroughly anti-feminist attitude (for example, that women should never be offered advice on how to reduce their risk of rape because it isn't their responsibility to reduce their risk of rape, and offering such advice is therefore insulting, demeaning, and victim-blaming).
Also, the practise of cloaking or justifying socially unacceptable bigotry, rage, or resentment in feminist terms that make it sound enlightened and progressive.

"So, now Caitlin is saying that she's dating Jessica to be more 'womon-affirming', whatever that means." "My god, such pseudofeminism ... wonder how Jessica feels to know Caitlin isn't dating her because she likes her."

A person with persistent, possibly permanent, sexual incapacity -- inability to achieve either erection or orgasm, or drastically reduced libido -- due to the side effects of SSRI antidepressants.
Uh, hon, you might think twice about going with that SSRI victim -- if you want a sex life, that is.

There are people who consider themselves pro-life. They are eager to stand and scream in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic (harassing women going in for Pap smears but not actually stopping even one abortion). However, they don't seem the least bit interested in opposing war or capital punishment (which would really save lives).
They also seem uninterested in addressing rape, incest, poverty, economic and social injustice, lack of access to adequate nutrition, lack of access to adequate health care, or sexual ignorance -- all of which are factors that drive the rate of abortion.
This leads outside observers to the conclusion that such people are more interested in being seen to be publicly righteous than in actually furthering the values they claim to uphold. I tell you, they have their reward.

"You hear Ms. Catholic over there calling for that guy to be executed?" -- "Yeah, she's totally pseudo pro-life. Consistent ethic of life, my ass."

There are three paths of burnout for a celebrity: Revolving door rehab, paycheck roles in bad movies, and, if you lose all self-respect, Hollywood Squares.
