It's pretty insane how many people are responding to this with dead earnest holding-forth on breathing technique and phrasing as if they were official internet judges of vocal ability.

Strangely (and I acknowledge, very strangely), I find this kind of comforting.

I find your defensiveness very triggering. I suspect you are privileged.

Oh, ugh, she really is very, very young. My heart hurts a bit.

I feel like sous-viding is just a step away from microwaving.

Ugh, I feel like the Killers listened to the same bands I did, but chose to borrow all the worst bits.

Happy Kwanza!

Yes, I didn't realize many of them were much shorter than fashion models.

Yes, it deserves equal contempt, because it shows equal selfishness/obliviousness.

I see men offer their seat all the time, with much more frequency than women. Maybe it is different in different cities?

I'm relatively tall and well-muscled, so that gives me an advantage in that I am physically closer in size to these guys than many fellow women.

It…

Look, I know that you know what it means, and I know why you want me to have to define it. I've seen your comments, and I can see from the way that you clearly disapprove of feminism and yet come repeatedly onto Jezebel to comment, that you are likely not really interested in what any of us have to say, only in…

You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Yeah, it's super intolerant to tell people how to define their womanhood.

No, I swear it's true! Women really can be misogynists.

I agree, it's super insulting to men.
