No. Just no. So fed up with the autotune and electric shit bs so many pop singers are using these days. That song is a classic. Sticking to the original.

My mom’s the same, and it’s very hard. She’s internalized a great deal of rape culture and patriarchal ideas of masculine and feminine roles and sometimes it’s very difficult to stay patient with her. Just last week we were discussing Clinton’s presidential run, and all my mom could contribute was, “Hillary is a…

Thank god Kim was able to remind us that she is married to Kanye and is ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’. This whole ‘life changing’ declaration might almost have been entirely about someone else...that would have been a tragedy. Not the struggling with a body that feels wrong, or a world that often doesn't…

Jezebel is about the only place on the internet I read the comments.

I made the mistake of reading some comments on people.com -ERROR ERROR ERROR on my part. So many awful transphobic fucks out on the interwebz right now.

Thank you, Jezebel, for providing a forum to talk about this. I’ve been refreshing Jez all night looking for some alternative to Deadspin.

Hah, seriously? In Vancouver there was a LOTTERY to win the chance to buy a ticket to their show.

Half of the reason I committed to fly coast-to-coast last year for a research trip was because Avril Lavigne was opening for the Backstreet Boys. She was actually really good live. They were just OK, but my Y2K heart has no regrets.

Most memorable concert also happens to be the only concert I’ve gone to.

And that he thought she would be scandalized to see her legs, like all old folks are prudes. They’re her damn legs, why would she be scandalized?!?

Agreed! Pressure for women to live up to dress according to certain norms, whether for “modesty” or “sexiness” are wrong and anti-feminist.

I absolutely agree. That situation is just as bad. If women anywhere are being pressured to dress to fulfill some kind of antiquated idea of “modesty,” that is wrong and anti-feminist.

I think it’s the responsibility of any good feminist to call out religious practices that have misogynistc roots. And this does. So I do.

So you think that millions of Muslim women just happened to come to this decision? Free from any kind of influence whatsoever?

I always find the nun thing to be a bit of a straw man argument. Nuns are a small subset of certain Christian denominations, who decide as adults to take special vows of chastity and devote their lives to God. Meanwhile, many Muslim girls are strongly encouraged to cover themselves from head to toe as children,…

Let’s remember the Polanski petition signatories:

<insert requisite comment about how Christians are most definitely not persecuted, Sharia Law is not the end all evil they make it out to be, people in general being idiots>

Ok, having said that, I’m a little uncomfortable with “Covered Girl Challenge”, mainly because of the words “Covered” and “Girl.” Students should…

Yeah, I’m sure each and every Muslim woman who wears hijab is making that decision without any pressure from family, culture, or religious leaders. Truly free!

Gonna be totally honest: I completely disagree with headscarves and the ideals they are supposed to represent for women. Yes I do find them harmful.

If he were a woman, he probably would have struggled to get anything made for the next 7 years after Flirting with Disaster instead of getting a shot at directing a film with 10x its budget just a couple years later.
