It’s fucking belittling. He’s saying she was too naive to realize fame would be hard. Which, first of all fuck you. But also Gaga, of all our recent pop stars, has always been vocal about the responsibilities of being a star.

And apparently the writers of Gawker media. BUT NO ONE ELSE

Well, the writers here have a long and proud history of loving and then subsequently hating the (usually white) woman du jour. Way back in the day, we liked Anne Hathaway, but then I guess she “tried too hard”. Then JLaw was OMIGOD JUST LIKE US until apparently her realness wasn’t real enough. Amy Schumer, Lena…

Empathy for women who “put themselves out there” shall extend only to bloggers and YouTubers.

Woman not allowed to have complicated feelings about career. News at 10.

That sounds about right.

Dude give her a break, she was 22 years old in 2008. Just because you study something, just because you hear other people’s stories DOES NOT mean you will feel like those stories will apply to you one day. Maybe back then she really wanted fame. Maybe she doesn’t now because she’s literally almost an entire decade…

This is ridiculous. It’s is like cutting off your nose to spite your face and then crying about the void in the middle of your head. It’s like getting liposuction and longing for your fat cells.

I’m not understanding the reason for the snark here?!?!

Very skeptical that as many as 25% of bus company employees are “in it” for the simple joy of transporting children to school.

No, society didn’t fail her. The management and ownership of Dunham Bus failed her. Having nearly two decades of putting-kids-on-busses experience behind me (including several years of dealing with Dunham), I’ve come to the conclusion that 75% of bus company employees, from drivers to dispatchers, are truly on in it…

The busing companies that win these bids are shit. We had a recent case where the same driver and bus monitor drove students home, locked the bus up, and went home for the night... leaving a special ed student on board, who had to break out and hitchhike home (the area is toll-roads and highways) 30 miles- TWICE IN…

She reported the driver back in August and went to the BOE. She even wrote a letter to the driver which was read by the Principal to the driver. What the hell happened in between then? This is really, really heartbreaking.

I honestly don’t know...last year he apparently made sizeable donations to the Clinton campaign. If he is mentally ill, and obviously I don’t know him personally, but my best friend is bipolar and before she was medicated, when she was manic she would say a lot of truly bizarre shit. Imagining plots against her, super…

Ah, drugs would make sense. It just always seemed like such a flimsy excuse to me, because I’ve been treated for dehydration and passing out and I got an IV and told to take a knee. Unless there is something else going on it really doesn’t take that long to get rehydrated.

That plagiarism isn’t even good. The Kylie version looks so amateurish. Not that it’s an excuse if something ripped off is done better, mind you.

He tells The Advocate that he would have preferred being “politely” informed that the cakes were “disrespectful” rather than being cursed at by Peterson.

This is not “crying wolf.” I understand what you’re getting at in terms of relative harms, but thinking along these lines and then telling people they can only call out the worst possible offensive behavior is a problem.

Treating women’s bodies as a commodity to be consumed is an unacceptable and pernicious trend that needs to be called out.

They did it to Trevor Noah, but then again that was actually a bit more noteworthy.
