I had the same sinking feeling. I first read about this yesterday on the Daily Beast. Of the six sentences they devoted to the story, they felt compelled to include that the two had a previous sexual relationship. It didn’t sit with me, but I can’t articulate why.

Yeah, I don’t know either. From The Washington Post:

Chris Brown is long past being given the benefit of doubt when it comes to abusing women and what he considers effeminate men. He was lucky to be able to hang on to his career. What will be the last straw? When he finally kills someone?

And then there’s this fucking asshole. Again.

No, do not try to make lesbian representation something that is only done to please men. Everyone here disagreeing is a queer woman, because having ourselves be represented onscreen is actually very important to us. Discounting it as “a man’s story” is not at all helpful.

You can’t see yourself just because she has sex with women?

You literally just said you couldn’t relate to women who have sex with women because being straight is important to your identity.

There aren’t a ton of lesbians on TV (and here are a bunch of people passionately advocating for less) but they are actually less likely to be “butch” when there are. Willow (who was bi but was called a lesbian) wasn’t the Butch Strong Female Character. Santana Lopez from Glee wasn’t. Most of the L Word wasn’t. Most…

Can’t have you ladies doing interesting or important stuff together, and also not take their shirts off.

am not in any way shape or form against it, but I am kind of sick of the stereotype of “Butch Strong Female Character. Must be a Lesbian”.

There are plenty of non-lesbian friends on TV. We need to have a lesbian relationship where one of them doesn’t get fridged for the plot line.

no.

I keep a list, and until I came to grips with my sexual assaults (both of which were acquaintance rapes), I included my rapists’ names. I have since transcribed the list with their names missing. They are not sex partners because I did not have sex with them; they raped me. There is no dishonesty in that. The people…

I’d like to introduce you to some badass lesbians, who dress up like that without giving one single fuck about whether men find it attractive.

What she does with that outfit is her business.

Did Teigen and Legend already start referring to the baby as Baby Legend or announce that s/he is going to be given just the father’s surname? If not, why “Baby Legend” rather than Baby Teigen or Baby Teigen-Legend?

Get ready for Buzzfeed’s newest article “21 DIY Abortion Hacks."

That turn of phrase makes it sound like a 13-year-old was grinding on him against his will and then suddenly...

“Polanski let himself have sex with an underage person at a big hollywood party 40 years ago, which is awful.”

Oh, you think Polanski and Allen only had one victim? Ha, sure they did. Sure.
