It's really not as bad as all that. 212 came out three years ago. She actually left her label and released the album independently. Last week it was top 3 on itunes, which is pretty remarkable for an artist with no major label support. The physical copies have yet to be released. The media is clearly on her side…

If ordered chronologically, it might be a useful paean to the plastic surgeon's art.
I'm CMYK but some of my best friends are RGB.
I appreciate that you're at least willing to see that there is a level of privilege in this situation from a female perspective. To me, I think equality should be across the board and I know if this were a male saying thing, people would have NO hesitation in saying that it was at the very least disturbing and at the…
See...here's the thing. And I might get slammed here for saying it bu there goes: if this were a man saying this all hell would be breaking loose. I haven't read (nor do I intend to) her book to make my own conclusions about the nature of her intent. The looking at her sister's vagina is definitely normal kid…
It's a wonder Lena insists on telling Grace's stories then, isn't it?
They had all weekend to carefully "think it out". This isn't the NYT. Gawker is the one that actually published that this was even going on. Crickets on Jezebel until this morning. While I agree that we should in no way shame children for exploring, there is also a significant age difference between Lena and Grace and…
Famous white "feminist" explores her 1 year old sister's vagina, carefully spreading it apart (because she wasn't resisting!) and checkin it out, later she bribes her sister with candy to give her long kisses and to lay on her, later she lays in bed next to her and masturbates, and then later outs her to the family.…
I have always had a "torn" approach to the CB issue in recent years. I have to give kudos for Madeleine Davies including in the story this very REAL issue that "we [as a society] don't have the greatest track record when it comes to even considering the rehabilitation or forgiveness of criminals, especially when they…
Except it wasn't just the looking into her vagina thing. She details very disturbing instances of her masturbating in bed next to her, bribing her with candy so she could make out with her, using tragedies to manipulate her into loving her, and literally compares her actions to a sex offender. How on earth is any…
All the Lena Dunham discussions being buried in the grays underneath scores of comments lambasting Chris Brown pretty much sums up white feminism, doesn't it?
She is sick if she did this. She is sick if she didn't do this and thought it would make herself seem more edgy. She is sick if she thought this was a funny story.
sorry, chris has a point...i love how everyone gets on him (and admitedly he's he's had other issues) but sean penn gets a free pass even though he kidnapped, beat and raped madonna over an entire night. chris was young, he made a mistake, he should be allowed to move on.
I am appalled at every single person who's defending what Lena Dunham wrote in her book. Let's not ignore the fact that she referred to herself as a "sexual predator" while she mentions all the different times she manipulated her sister into doing things like kissing her on the mouth. Let's not ignore the fact that…
Wow, really disappointed in Gawker and Jezebel for completely downplaying Lena Dunham literally molesting a child. These aren't crazy "right-wing accusations", these are things she actually wrote in her memoir. This isn't an isolated incident of a 7-year-old being weird, this went on for years. She touched her…
I made this point awhile ago. The 90s were amazing for black female artists. There was plenty of space for different artists and the image and content of the songs were so good. You could have Mary J Blige, SWV, En Vogue, Brandy, Whitney Houston, TLC and even Adina Howard on the charts. Later on, Lauryn Hill, Erykah…
In Hawaii, and amongst my Native and American Indian friends, we don't call it "Columbus Day," we call it Invasion Day.
