Survivor of some epic fucking bullying for almost a decade right here and it's hitting too close to home so I'm offering everyone a kitten pile. Grab one and wipe away your tears with me:

"...and you better believe that shaving my legs is not done because I just Loooove running my hands up and down my own legs!"

What are you talking about? I'm not in dire financial straits but I'd still take cash over someone's bullshit comments. There is literally no situation in which I'd take meanness over cash.

One of the best treatments of female beauty by a woman novelist is that of Lily Bart in Edith Wharton's House of Mirth. Lily is defined by her beauty; as a Victorian high society single "girl" (she is 29 when the book begins), she has escaped the notoriety of not marrying at an appropriate age simply because she is…

Sinead was so beautiful in those days (Lion and the Cobra, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got) that it was really almost shocking. And her voice was astonishing.

Ok it's not a music video and it's not a close up, but when Anthony cries during this performance my whole heart just about falls apart

This is great. It's like they're speaking directly to eachother, and apologizing.

What you say—that this could be a lie—that is a possibility.

It is was she said. She just said it obliquely, tactfully, & without anger. She framed it as a missive of advice & guidance to a mentee she believes may be heading down a potentially damaging path. So calling it patronizing & problematic in areas is fair. Calling it an irrelevant & craven publicity stunt is not.

The Amanda Bynes taunt is just mean.. I don't think she realises the significance of what Sinead O'Connor did had in 1992. Particularly considering she was Irish and had lived in a religious institute as a teenager. Her twerking might seem revolutionary to her but it doesn't even come close in terms of iconoclast…

To mock O'Connor for shredding the Pope is to be ignorant. Period.

Fuck her dumb ass. Plenty of young artists manage to understand and respect their forebears. She doesn't show respect for anyone, Black or white.

Hm. so this is where she crosses the line from "annoying" to "mouthy brat." Right here.

You singled out 2 black women as being undeserving of acclaim. It's not really much of a jump.

Amen.

Feelings... So. Many. Feelings...

That's the most perfect description. This comment thread is now closed.

The lyrics to the video? You mean the ones where they're in a club and she's there with another dude and is dancing up on Robin Thicke and may or may not have told him that she'd like to go home with him instead of her boyfriend? Or do you mean your interpretation of the lyrics to the video? Because those are two…

I watched my father kick the shit out of my mother throughout their marriage. He was also extremely controlling and possessive and made her life (and ours) a living hell. When they divorced we were all relieved. Around that time, my sister and I started to study and talk about feminist theory a lot. My father was a…

I hate to break it to you, but you're the one sounding irrational and hate-filled.
