I see what you're saying. While Western society is still premised on oppressive ideologies that benefit mostly white, able-bodied men, people who escape that framework start to adopt the ideology of the oppressor because privilege is blinding and desensitizing and adopting those ideologies allows the formerly

Not everyone who says something you don't like is a troll. A troll is someone who is NOT engaged in a good faith discussion and says something that they don't really believe in order to provoke people for shits and giggles on the troll's part.

Don't forget that having a small penis =/= to the violent TRAUMA of having your arm ripped off by car. Again, notice how everything affecting men is such big fucking deal that this comparison is being made as if it's reasonable.

This one wins. Just everything. It's so fucking dismissive and makes no attempt whatsoever to disguise the fact the speaker gives zero fucks. I love it. I can't stop laughing.

Hahaha, OK, fair enough! Thanks for the eminently reasonable reply. You could have responded like other commenters who really despise her and bitten my head off for writing a sort of tepid defense of her and for daring to suggest she is maybe not "awful."

If it got taken over to her site or people started blowing up her Twitter with petty comments, I would consider that bullying.

I definitely think there is an element of bullying. Are you kidding? Just read AvaLorde's comment and the way people pile on her. Criticizing her is one thing, and makes sense because some of the criticism is really legit, but like, there's a strong, strong fucking element of pettiness and petty fixation on her to so

I mean, lolololo@ she's an "awful" human being. She's really not. She's problematic as hell, but all the Iggy haters really need to learn to scale back the language. Who does the average person think of when they think of people who would count as "awful human beings?" Muammar Gaddafi, for example, or Hitler, or Pol

Misogyny is bad!!!!111 Unless it's an attractive white women who's committed the sin—absolutely unknown in rap and hip hop—of being inauthentic and offensive. I mean, clearly she deserves way more hate than Childish Gambino or any other rappers and their blatantly misogynistic/racist/homophobic shit. And while we're

Omg, this sounds amazing! Please figure out how to upload a picture! You had me at "pagan" and "mason jars".

This comparison seems reasonable on first reading, but on closer examination is insane. Swastikas: holocaust as hoop skirts: black slavery?! I get what you're saying about context: it DOES matter, so everything as whole is problematic, but hoop skirts aren't, really.

I'll bite the ham. You're missing the very obvious point.

OMG YASSSSS. I thought you were joking but this is a thing and the "author" is "Edward Naughty" I can't even.

Yeah, I stand staunchly by the opinion that social justice activists' biggest enemy is...other social justice activists. This shit is so tired and predictable. Like, we can NEVER have a debate about this topic (or the topic of women-only spaces) without someone shutting down any and all engagement by reducing the

It's not really, meaningfully unequal though. It's only unequal in the magical fairytale land that exists in a vaccuum and where women aren't paid less and subjected to routine violence from men.

I would but I seem to have an unfortunate sticker-burr.

Truth! She can look amazing in things that look horrible on like 99.9% of people—even really attractive people! If it doesn't look good on her, there is no hope for the rest of us.

Maybe stop replying to my comments, then? You don't have read comments you think are a priori hideously offensive, and I don't have to deal with your ad hominem vitriol. I know you think I'm a bigot, so I obviously don't have feelings. We both benefit from that arrangement.

Arrogance and self-importance from the person who has repeatedly assumed they have *the* absolute, sole position of moral superiority?

Yes, my legitimate criticisms and clearly ridiculous and over-the-top satire totally mean I am xenophobic. You're definitely one of the people who thinks the Charlie Hebdo staff was "asking for it."
