Easily the dumbest thing about how we’ve commissioned feminism is that any criticism from a woman about a woman doing something that sucks is being a bad ally and gets you cancelled. Personally, I blame Taylor Swift for being the first one I can remember to weaponizing this tactic.
“Daddy, why is this song called ‘Windows 95'?”
Imagine caring about someone else’s opinion of a song so much that you send them threatening messages. Now let’s get back to discussing whether a hotdog is a sandwich (IT IS, FUCKERS)
Also, Carrie Underwood can GTFO with that “women build up other women” shit. That’s the kind of bullshit Kellyanne Conaway tries to pull when people (rightfully) call her out for her terrible positions.
Celebrities have to be able to handle criticism. It comes with the gig.
By responding to the initial tweet the way she did, isn’t Carrie Underwood kind of doing what she is criticizing Jessica Smetana for doing? That message is definitely not an attempt to “build up” another woman. Quite the opposite.
I’ve been using “clap’s back” for years.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Bice.
I think this is the story where “claps back” officially jumps the shark, and goes away for a while.
PLOT TWIST: After initially apologizing, the Catholic church has, in true Catholic church fashion walked it back. As per the Freep, here’s the Catholic church’s new statement:
Really weird that you’re all about respecting the church but you disagree with the Bishop who said the priest was in the wrong!!!!!!!!
If you don’t like what the church teaches, and always has taught, about suicide
“Back in my day, I used to crash funerals I was specifically told not to attend every other week, but I guess the PC Police doesn’t like that anymore.”

Imagine starting with “I was just asked to leave a funeral by a family member of a deceased football player” and thinking you were the sympathetic party in that story.
This part is worthy of being called out, too:
(...would have clotheslined that asshole)
The bereaved father at one point walked to the pulpit and whispered to the priest, “Father, please stop,” but their pastor continued with statements denouncing the way their son’s life ended, the couple said.
Many people seem to be taking you up on your self-righteous offer more and more, because it seems some of y’all have a WHOLE FUCKING LOT to say about the personal decisions of people, and not what people decide to do to, say, minors.
