You're fantastic :)

Pretentious hipster bullpucky. There is no shame in getting paid for you work. If artists want to make some cash leasing their music out to advertisements, then more power to them.

I’m beginning to wonder if these companies just figure in these lawsuits as the cost of doing business and see the benefits of using songs outweighing the inevitable legal troubles. Beastie Boys had and still has a huge following and I wonder how much Monster drinks sold because of this song vs. the $1.7MM damages+…

That’s weird. Because I always thought the Beastie Boys were known to let suits

I am glad you acknowledged the major differences, I saw when I read down thread that you had indeed clarified that point before. Sorry for making you repeat it. That being said, Rachel’s behavior is comparable to the Mileys and Iggys of the world, the major difference being that she actually seemed to care about/be…

1. Sexually harass a bunch of women

So, enlighten us, MRAs: How are women supposed to know which of you fucks will pull this on them or not?

Transgender women don’t generally speak about their experiences as women. They speak about their experiences as transgender women and the struggles they have gone through to get acceptance. If she was talking about her experiences being a white woman advocating for racial equality, I am sure no one would have an…

Black girl here, and I totally get what you’re saying. Miley on steroids she is not. It is certainly a different can of worms. This would be the same as saying a black person passing for white could not truly understand white privelege. If they managed to pass convincingly enough, this was indeed the point of the…

You hit every single nail on the head! Especially quite interesting thinking of the similarities with Munchausen syndrome, how her aim almost seems to be in effort to garner attention and sympathy. As a psychiatrist and a black women, I’m less angry and more interested. Her case certainly poses a ton of questions…

But the difference is that to the casual observer, this chick looks black. And ESPECIALLY in Northern Idaho, where she was teaching classes. She drove black, shopped black, and lived black in an area known as a hotbed of white supremacy.

You make a good point, but what I was getting at more is that even if to a third party whatever racism she’s experienced is identical to the racism actual Black people face, to her it’s not the same thing, because it is, for all intents and purposes, optional. I mean that her experience of racism and being Black in…

It’s COMPLETELY bizarre. That’s the word that keeps coming to my mind. I keep trying to wrap my brain around it and I’m just like, what the....

Even if she did have to deal with the everyday racism that Black women face, she always had the option of just washing that fake tan off and removing her wig. It’s not the same thing.

To play devils advocate a little bit, while she didn’t grow up black she has been living the life of a black woman for over a decade now and “passing”. She may very well have faced prejudice during that time.

Tania Head levels of sociopathy:

Because trans people don’t equate their experiences with cisgender people, hence the term transmisogyny. You won’t hear a transwoman say that she has experienced the oppression that cisgender women have faced. There is tons of evidence of trans oppression with the murder rates and whatnot. The same cannot be said for…

I’ll agree. I’m not saying I have a type, but “cute and delusional” are common items in my personal history.

I’m kinda surprised it took this long to come up.

I just...but whyyyy? Not that it doesn’t look great, but...I’ve barely brushed mine today. Hair effort is hard.
