She is amazing and I adore her.

Google is your friend.
She fired her team, sought out Britney's manager, and hired him. She HIRED HIM.

Yes. I love Tracy Chapman. She is an incredible artist. I also love Janelle Monae, and Adele, and Esperanza Spalding, and Joan Jett, and Patti Smith, and Yoko Ono, and Peaches, and India Arie, and PJ Harvey, and tUnE yArDs, etc etc etc

But the Glamour Girls are amazing as well. They are fierce. They are femme. They…

Sigh.

No, Miley is not. As a child star, yes. But her new image and record is a big break from her handlers. This is her shit. It's been written about. The best example is her recent Rolling Stone article, if you want something to back it up.

Why is that cute? I think it's offensive that you are assuming these women are not in control of their careers.

Sarah Palin is a politician. She calls herself a feminist whilst promoting policies that hurt women and support the patriarchy. She is an example of political double speak and is a true, physical threat to women.

Miley Cyrus is a 20 year old pop singer whose main controversy is twerking.

One of these is not like the…

Are you actually saying that any female performer who expresses her sexuality publicly — on her terms — is "appeasing the male gaze"???

Certainly not. Rihanna is all blunt smoking Barbados realness. Jay taught her how to survive in this business and she's killing it.
Miley does not have a stylist. Her new image is famously borne from firing her former management team and going rogue.
Beyonce: need I speak to this woman's power? Her image as a teen/young…

She's probably going to just stop calling herself one.
You know, like most women who become curious, try to enter the sisterhood, and are shamed the fuck out of it with diatribes like this.

Right? Anyone ever stop to consider how it makes the dancers feel to be constantly told that they are being exploited by working with Miley? That they're not self aware enough to know that they're being exploited and used for the color of their skin?

Uh, yes. That is actually a big thing that we fought for. A rise in women's rights is directly correlated with women shortening their hemlines. Sexual liberation was, of course, taken advantage of by the patriarchy (Playboy, etc.) but most female pop stars in this day and age have 100% control over their image (with…

I'm sorry, so a pop star just came out and gave big love to feminism and the feminists just shut her down.

Why are we surprised women shy away from this label again?

aaaaaaand THAT'S why women don't like being called feminists! Thank you for verbalizing it so perfectly.

eye c what u did thar

lol

The ignorance of this comment is staggering. My god.
You're on the internet. It is a massive vehicle for access to information. Please use it.

This take down is tragically misguided. Jesus. Yes, it was supposed to be funny, and also important. Why are you criticizing such a simple commercial for a great organization like the ACLU? WHY? Because you didn't laugh enough? Because you thought they weren't clear enough about communicating what the ACLU does? Fuck.…

I'm 27 years old and I watched it when I was home sick like last year. NO SHAME

(I also read the novel when I was a little girl. Love love love.)
