Still don’t think “1989" was Grammy worthy, but this was a nice female empowerment speech.

Fucking good for her. I'd be pissed if some egomaniacal dude was trying to take credit for my massive success too. This is the most I've ever liked Taylor Swift.
This is absolutely, 100%, mind-blowingly amazing. And for those who say that this isn’t an art form, holy wow. I’m speechless.
As much as I think Kendrick should have won (and I really, really, do) I liked what she said. I’m glad she wasn’t gracious about it this time. He needs to be shut down because he is saying some atrocious shit. Did I mention Kendrick should have won though? How did he not?
Can black artists just please continue to lay the politics on thick? I would just love it if every major performance post Formation is just like ‘and you thouhght Beyoncé at the Super Bowl was intense?’.
^^ Love.
My MIL (husbands step-mom) sends the Christmas card with my name first :-) Love her
Can I be in your family?
Don’t hate the virginity, hate the game. In July I’ll be a 24 year old virgin. If I was skinnier and prettier I’d facebook him and we could be virgins together without your judgment.
Gee whiz, take a chill pill!
You had already framed the argument as larger than this one person. He is one person out of thousands, all of whom you put in a box with the “these people” comment.
It’s really not a monolithic “they,” and there is 100% nothing wrong with deciding to only have sex with your spouse, if it’s your decision. I have good friends who waited and with whom I discussed my sex life. I have others who later decided not to wait and were supported. The attitude of “fuck you for not respecting…
...but you don’t know that that’s what all of those people actually think of you.
I mean, not my speed, but that’s 100% his choice and good on him for committing to what he wants.
“Flood my guts” just might be the grossest thing I’ve read today. In this bleak and vile cesspool that is the internet, that’s downright impressive. I’m not sure what the prize is, but you win it.
We were still working on some issues re: feminism when we were in the marriage-planning stages but at the time, I shifted the conversation to make it about him changing his name (which he strangely didn’t want to do, even though my name is much easier to pronounce and spell! Which is weird because women always give…
Names are the best way to bind families.
Ditto, except my husband sorta understands, but probably thinks I let it get to me too much. But really, it’s my fucking name.
You know what would have been even sweeter? If he didn’t assume that if the hospital bracelets should match, they should all bear HIS name.
TIS THE SEASON! For all my family members to send Xmas cards addressed to a name that is not my actual IRL name. Why just this holiday? They all know I didn’t change my name when I got married. I mean, we’re Facebook friends and I didn’t change it on there! How much more official does it get?! All I can guess is that…
