    How bout I don't like her b/c I don't care about her and don't know anything about her except young men want to fuck her like she's the secodn coming. I haven't seen any of her movies, she hasn't done or said anything worth paying attention to. she may as well be a computer model of a hot chick for all the human she seems to be. #meganfoxhate

    Whatever Megan Fox is hot and did a bang up job in Jennifer's Body. I have no issues with her. I appreciate that she has an opinion and isn't afraid to say it. #meganfoxhate

    Here's the secret:

    She's not a woman! She was created by two adolescent boys who mixed a stack of Maxim magazines with a can of Red Bull and zapped the lot with an electrical charge that was filtered through a laptop illegally streaming girls gone wild 47: Hungary. #meganfoxhate

    A note about her thumb...

    It's called Brachydactyly type D, or "BDD". It's also referred to as "Clubbed thumb".

    This is the genetic clubbing of one or both thumbs. The thumb is short, round in section and bulbous at the end, with a very short, wide nail.

    It's genetic. I have them, my dad has them, and they're not freaky or gross.

    Thank you for listening! #meganfoxhate

    @Snizzy-Snazz Bullets: Do you know Hrithik Roshan? TWO thumbs! (on one hand) And he's still sexy as all get out. And, damn, can that boy dance... But I digress.

    It doesn't look gross to me at all - seems pretty unique, really.

    @PoisonPixie: No, I think she really does have a "clubbed thumb"? I've read that before. #meganfoxhate

    @Chip Skylark of Space: My cat has that thumb. We call him evolved, since he's the one who opens doors and plays a little ditty on the piano. (It's called "the Piano Is the Shortest Route from the Hall to the Cukoo Clock, in A dim b") #meganfoxhate

    Someone needs to write talking points for this girl that don't include telling off an entire gender.

    maybe women would "like" her more if she were actually talented? i find women don't really "like" each other because they're rich, famous, super-hot, smoke-pot, etc. maybe if she did something respectable, women could, ya know, respect her. #meganfoxhate

    Women don't like a woman who constantly makes undermining, anti-woman comments and plays enthusiastically into male fantasy stereotypes?

    Women I love/am attracted to:

    1) Maggie Gyllenhaal
    2) Christina Hendricks
    3) Scarlett Johanssen
    4) Anne Hathaway

    All of them beautiful beyond words, and wildly successful.

    New theory, please, Ms. Fox? #meganfoxhate

    @PorkStore: Horsefaced, fat, married and Jewish, good girl.

    Sorry, what? I was just listening in on a meeting at Maxim.

    While men and women, in general, tend to find different pop stars attractive, it irks me that men's opinions are (as ever) the gold standard, and women deviate based on nothing but jealousy. As if they could have their own standards of beauty, or judge women the same way they (often) judge men, with personality brightening or dampening physical appearance. #meganfoxhate

    Here is a short list of why she isn't liked:
    1) Press exceeds actual film roles=overexposure
    2) Media comparisons to (everyones favourite Goddess) Angelina Jolie = backlash by AJ fans of which there are too many
    3) Sexy pictures/out of context sexy quotes= Unrelatable to the masses (though I like her brand of crazy and have said some similar things but whatev)
    4) Film characters one dimensional blow up dolls= disconnect (can't love a character that has no characteristics)
    5) Her beauty and sexuality have been used as a selling feature both to gain roles and a fan base = Women's dislike.
    Number five is what is trying to articulate but is unable to understand well enough to say it so she calls it jealousy because she is pretty without realizing it is a little more than that.
    I can give her the benefit here because she wants a career and has hired the people to help her acheive that and trusted their judgement and guidance. It's like, I can't do my taxes so H&R block does but if they fuck up I'm the one the gov't goes after but I have to trust them because I cannot figure that crap out myself.
    As always there is more to a story than what you see or what you want to beleive. People's bias against her is set in and as much as this article indicates something else is happening people will ignore it because they don't like her. Vicious cycle I feel for the kid. #meganfoxhate

    Am I the only one who reads her quotes about women and, rather than thinking she's some sort of misogynist bitch snot, thinks instead "I don't know when or how, but that child got Mean Girl'd in a mortally scarring way"? #meganfoxhate

    Oh, get over yourself and go call the whambulance, Megan. You know why I don't like you? Because you make it clear in every interview that you don't like women. You can only talk about other women in the context of how they're jealous of your body, your face, your talent, your acting jobs. We get it. You have what most of us will never have.

    You may be beautiful, but no more so than other, far more talented actresses like, say, Kate Winslet or Anne Hathaway, neither of whom feels the need to tear other women down regularly. #meganfoxhate

    This is tremendously silly, but all the "freaky" thumbs stuff bothers me. I have those thumbs. It's a recessive trait. It's not a flaw. I find it ridiculous that we're actually discussing the aesthetic beauty merits of thumbs. Good grief.

    I think one of the reasons I love Jennifer's Body is actually because of Fox. Because she managed to look like this embodiment of the current male fantasy...and yet play a completely subversive character fucking with that very concept.

    Sometimes I think we're so used to women self-deprecating, pleasing, and constantly trying to win us over all the time (especially when they're in the public eye) that when someone doesn't do that we're kind of shocked. Women who look like her usually go out of their way to try and come across as non-threatening.

    And since I feel like being honest...I don't hate her, I actually kind of like her...and I am totally jealous of how she looks. I'll never look like that, and though I know it' s not all naturally occurring, and I know there are other things in life that matter more...there is a part of me that wonders what that' s like. Because to me it seems a bit like a gilded cage. #meganfoxhate

    @tiredfairy: I wouldn't say I have a strong opinion on Fox either way, but the fact of the matter is not that she simply isn't TRYING to come across as non-threatening. I think her rhetoric about how women are jealous of her is actually very aggressive--if she wants us to like her so bad, she could at least stop talking about how much the ENTIRE GENDER sucks because we're jealous. #meganfoxhate

    @kellybones: Does she actually say it's the entire gender, though? Yes, she does talk in generalities, but that has a lot to do with the questions she's asked. And the fact that she's young and probably hasn't had time to figure out more nuanced responses.

    I don't agree with her statements either, but I also don't get the impression that she's actually claiming all women hate her because of jealousy. I think that might be what some people hear, but I'm not sure that's what she's saying. #meganfoxhate

    Also, and I speak only for myself here, her claim, "Women hate me because I'm pretty," really irks me because she wasn't born that way. Not that she was ugly before the boob and nose jobs, but she looked like a completely different person before, and one much less sexualized and designed for the male gaze. So when she whines about women hating her for her looks - she made herself look that way. On purpose. And she brings her looks up alll the damn time. It's hard for me to feel any sympathy for her on that count. I don't hate her because she's pretty, I dislike her because her looks are her answer to everything.

    Dear Megan Fox,

    I don't dislike you because I think you're a whore who is trying to steal my boyfriend. I dislike you because I think you'd stab me in the back and step on me just to prove you can. You're prettier than me, I get it. Stop talking about it. I don't dislike pretty women, I dislike annoying women who are always telling me why I should like them. Show don't tell.
