The woman, who pretended to have cancer to scam money, embodies a version of white womanhood that we want to believe in: pretty, plucky, determined, and in need of rescue. She's an example of a sympathy grifter: someone who uses racist/sexist/classist beliefs in their favor.

It's a bit bizarro-world to see Bitch Magazine being linked in MR. A good kind of bizarro, though, because it's an interesting article, if only because it demonstrates that feminists can be self-aware. I like Bitch.

Her mistake was in trying to milk too many beliefs at once.

It's amazing how average most girls look without make up. Almost like they actually have cancer. Sad what TV has done to us. I want to see the pretty under the puddy.
