Women have always fought against them. The lyrics aren't directed at all women, just Black women. Nobody joins them in protesting until it's too late. Black women speak against "side chick" all of the time. You just aren't privy to the conversation.

Uh oh… you just broke the first cardinal rule of Jezebel: never speak ill of Queen Bey.

Seriously, the First Lady has a lovely, feminine shape and very tiny delicate hands if anyone ever pays attention to that (I just notice it b/c she is very tall and a lot of women in my family are tall with small hands and feet too).

Ugh, wish I'd read further down before wasting my time responding to him/her. B/c yeah, the response was just as racist as Joan's inference about FLOTUS. Anti-blackness in full effect since black ppl moved into the White House.

I'm glad that you have been able to get through your life without having to deal with the shit our society gives women with a more masculine look or presentation. However, that's a longstanding trope that gets trotted out whenever someone wants to cut down a strong woman, especially strong black women. Look at…

... And then you click, offering positive reinforcement. Don't forget that part.

Exactly! It seems like a pretty well-worn trope that strong black women invariably have their femininity attacked. No surprise that this is playing well with the Tea People.

I'm also going to add racism to that, and you basically have your main dickweed categories.

Given how so many think he was ripping off Marvin Gaye with his song last year this is very appropriate as Gaye also made an album openly about his soon-to-be ex-wife, but it wasn't because he wanted her back; he wanted her gone. He actually called it "Here, My Dear" in reference to deal that was made that she'd get…

She's a hypocrite who is entitled and ungrateful. Feminism does not require you to support all women.

Please shut up.

Jolie can act.

My biggest problem with her was that she talked about how sexist Knocked Up was and then went on to star in a bunch of sexist rom-coms. Like she didn't really make an effort to, I don't know, do somethiing about that sexism.

I totally agree with you on pinning women against each other all the time, I get that. What I don't get is Nicki Minaj contradicting herself. All the time. She wants more women in hip hop but yet decides that it's her duty to call out the ones that may/may not write their own stuff. And maybe people change but she…

Really? That's not the attitude she had in regards to the Lil Kim situation. She could've embraced Kim and given her the respect that she deserved but instead completely denied jacking every aspect of Kim's persona. Nicki Minaj is basically a Lil Kim impersonator.

Someone needs to tell her that Lauryn Hill was sued because she in fact was not the sole author behind The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

You care enough to keep responding with lame gifs and weak justifications of "just because". And if I recall, you initially responded to me...with a lame gif.

She's pretty and Jay likes getting it in. Seems simple enough to me.

Was hoping Jez would cover this article. It reflects my own observations of my peers: WoC and poorer white women are less likely to engage freely in "hookup culture" (ugh, can we think of a better name?) because they simply have more to lose. Especially when it comes to their reputations (being perceived as "a slut"…
