Okay, so can we please just go ahead and conclude that “going off” on someone is not in the same category as forcibly kissing them, and need not be introduced as though it’s of even remotely the same class of (mis)behavior? I’m sorry, but revelations of sexual assault really do not need to be hijacked by accounts of…

She apologized and said she should have worded it better. What kind of awesome liberal purity do you have that she’s not a valuable ally? She got successful, how dare this woman get successful and make minor mistakes, then apologize and say she’s always trying to be better? She’s definitely not good enough right?

I’d keep her away from the diplomats from Zambia.

For the record, Taylor Swift was the OG Kesha supporter. (In her interview, which I strongly encourage you to read, she talks about calling Kesha during her own sexual assault trial.) Taylor gave Kesha $500,000 to pay for her legal team in the midst of a punishing media cycle that saw Sony Music executives portray…

In the clip above, Stewart is asked about how he reacted to the revelations and C.K.’s admittance of guilt, and says he was “stunned.”

When I was a kid, I got presents from mom and dad on Christmas Eve, and then opened “Santa’s” gifts on Christmas morning. Isn’t this common among families?

Um, on the topic of “fixing,” does anyone know why the star count goes DOWN when I recommend a post? It’s happening consistently tonight.

She can say that AFTER women and girls stop being judged, ranked, and treated primarily on how well they conform to society’s standard of beauty. This shit doesn’t happen ina vacuum, and I’m tired of people lecturing women as if it’s all in our heads.

Counterpoint: putting on makeup makes me feel magical and beautiful and the process is soothing. Especially since I suffer from depression, and sometimes putting on a bold brow or power lip is the difference between me sitting at home crying versus going out and facing the world. Sorry zadie. Love your work, but don’t…

I used to love her when I was younger, but in the last 10 years she has become so disappointing. I miss the old, wild child Angie who would say and do whatever the fuck she wanted and gave two shits about her public image.

Lorde rocks, and so does Taylor Swift, and if you don’t think so that’s OK too.

Well Kara, goodbye and I wish you well. You are a talented writer, and the new job seems like a perfect fit for you.

Eh, it’s a dog. Did she beat it? If so, that reflects poorly on her character. Did she just get tired of it and want to move on? That’s cool, cause you can do that because it’s JUST A DOG. Dogs aren’t people. I love my dog, she’s not long for this world and I’ll cry when I have to kill her, but she’s just a dog.

You, a common muggle: I hope I get into Ravenclaw!

I’m puzzled by the insinuation she should figure this out behind closed doors. Yes, she’s 30, and this is delayed on our timetable of when worldly liberal people’s should have been having these realizations, But shaming people for not coming to terms with privilege fast enough will just make them defensive and push…

Intersectional Feminist Writer: Ugh, I can’t even with these people who won’t wake up and see the sexism all around them!

I feel like in general we have lost touch with the whole concept of analogies. If one person ever says thing A is kind of analogous to thing B they are always taken to be saying thing A is exactly the same as thing B.

I wouldn’t feel that way. She’s privileged, but she’s done and said a hell if a lot more than many.

The barriers between culture and religion are permeable - they intermix. Culture creates religion and religion influences culture. There are features both of Christianity and of Islam that are hostile to homosexuality. Not surprising when one considers their common origin. Orthodox Judaism is also fairly hostile to…
