I do not watch any food-related tv. But isn’t Gordon Ramsay famous for screaming at kitchen staff? If so, is he an equal opportunity screamer toward women? I once bartended in a restaurant ran by a chef with a short temper. It seemed as if he would never hire a female bartender or female cook because they are less…

That quotation is presumably referring to female characters including both girls and women, so yeah females.

I think you can just answer this question yourself. If a person of any gender or orientation comes to you with questions, and it is your job to address their concerns, how is that problematic or mansplaining? I suppose if you are more condescending toward women, or dumb down technical issues for women, that can be…

“The oldest kid and only son is left to figure out what manhood means in a world where he’s now completely surrounded by females.”

I am a man and I understand why Jezebel women dislike how the word “female” is often used. But I think it makes sense here. That comment was about characters who are girls and women of various ages. I suppose “surrounded by girls and women” also makes sense, but I think that avoiding using “females” as a noun in all…

I think this song is godawful no matter who sings it.

It was meh instantly. And yes, I was thinking about “Like a Prayer” almost immediately.

When I saw the headline, I was expecting a lot more. I thought she would be laying the faux Latina-ness on thick. Then I saw the video, and not really. I will admit that I really skimmed the video as it and the song seemed godawful. Is she appropriating Catholicism? Sure. Well, is she in fact Catholic? That style of…

Also, the year is 2018, not 2008, and the sentence I am referencing is confusing as hell. Edit it, and feel free to delete my current comment.

I would love for her or her attorney to say in court, “As a legacy artist, I cannot embark on a major tour every year,” only to have the judge rattle off a list of legacy artists who are seemingly never not on tour.

Yes, exactly. But she says, “As a legacy artist, I cannot embark on a major world tour every year.” What artist CAN do that? If any artist can do that, it would either be an artist who cranks out a vital album annually (And there are precisely zero examples of that right now), or a legacy artist really.

“This made me tear up. I’m sure they’ve run the numbers and realized just how devastating this statement could be, but they did it anyway.”

but since she’s a “legacy artist, there is no market for her to embark on a major world tour every year,”

Nice! I guess Target has come a long way since the 1990's. I remember in the OJ Simpson miniseries, the black jurors complained that they were allotted more time at Target than at Ross. It was implied that black people like Ross more and white people like Target more. Johnnie Cochran agreed.

“and to see where Dave Matthews used to bartend.”

Apartheid ended in the early-mid 1990's, so the truth of the matter is, the parents of South African children are unlikely to really have had any hand in creating apartheid whatsoever.

“My only sympathies are for the children who are too young to know why their parents are being treated like second class citizens.”

You probably are going to get a lot of dissenting comments, and I am unsure if I even dissagree with you. But I think it was misguided to write this, “If you are not affiliated with the government, you have no right to weapons.” Defense against the government is one of the reasons behind the 2nd Amendment, and…

I am a male bartender. I enjoy scotch and other whiskies. I have noticed that women are significantly less likely to order whiskey, whether neat or in a cocktail. I wonder how much a female on the bottle will change that, if at all. When I saw the headline, I thought the product itself would be somehow made more…

I am non-black, and neither are you. I think that beyond, “Don’t say that word,” there is very little that black people “are trying to convince me” of regarding their own usage of that word.
