That’s not the worst apology I’ve ever seen (low bar), but the bit about her privilege blinding her to the fact that for some other groups the police are not just a benign protection agency is patent bullshit. She makes a point of saying to this guy that she is going to call the police and tell them an “African…

It’s a shame (although possibly intentional) that they had her phrase it poorly, but Molly’s point was valid. Different people experience different forms of racism. The kind that makes the towel lady of a hotel assume you’re not supposed to be there and potentially dangerous is the kind Molly has lived with her whole…

Typical White feminists. She’s literally had everything handed to her and had the kind of success most artists can only dream of, yet she’s still complaining. One look at Metacritic shows she’s critically acclaimed so I don’t know who these critics are that she thinks hate her music. 

It could be that. But if her main argument is that she’s being unfairly criticized for her lyrics and subject matter wouldn’t it be more relevant to cite artists who have similar paths and messages?

I get no love on Jez can I get a little help out of the grays? Has this person never heard of Madonna? LOL!

Lana is introspective and downtempo and not pop per se, so she is not necessarily ever going to have those #1 hits

Which is her way of taking issue with what she perceives as the definition of feminism. A definition that, by the way, does not exist.

You deserve all the stars and let me add let’s not forget how Miley was all about twerking that pancake butt , then all of a sudden deciding that was degrading to woman and not what she is about. 

I regret I have only one star to give

Yeah her “authentic, delicate self” is Lizzy Grant, privileged daughter of a wealthy marketing exec who clearly pulled strings to get her a record deal. That’s fine, cool, lots of people get into the business via connections, but it seems odd to call out other musicians and claim she’s being persecuted for being an…

Thank You! Instead of people reflexively responding to defend her post, look at what she’s saying sentence by sentence. She went full Karen in a rant about music that she doesn’t make and shouldn’t compare herself to ---for what reason? Alanis Morrisette and Tori Amos walked so she could run. Amy Winehouse actually…

Bravo to every bit of this. She is showing her ass and her untrained ignorant ear when it comes to music being thrown down by women both before and during her reign. Shit, even within the catalogs of the women she trashed you get similar themes of confusion, pain, submissiveness, and angst in love and life - granted…

Lana Del Rey’s music doesn’t really do anything for me, which is fine - you’re not going to speak to everyone with your work. But man, her whole...thing just seems exhausting.

1) She could have absolutely stated her points without bringing the other artists into the conversation. 2) Is this really the hill she wants to die on?

I feel like Lana Del Rey is somehow the embodiment of everyone that thought a Live-Life-Love sign was cool.

I dont have a full opinion on Lana Del Rey, i have enjoyed some songs but have not really gotten into any album despite hearing good things. I do find it a little off-putting though that the female artists she is calling out are all primarily African-American artists. It just kinda rubs me the wrong in a “privileged…

I’m just a glamorous woman writing bad poetry and appropriating Latinx culture whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

For someone who states they're not a feminist this is some real white feminist bullshit.

“the kind of women who says no but men year yes, the kind of women who are slated mercilessly for being their authentic, delicate selves...”

The biggest one I can think of is that Calista Flockhart left Supergirl when it moved to the CW (and production from LA to Vancouver). Still not half as big a deal as the series lead leaving!
