I have done just that!

Okay, but would you say that now? If a prominent musician today did this with a current 15 year old–exact same story, it all happened the exact same way, just in 2016–how would you feel about it? Would you be so reluctant to be disgusted? If the girl said she enjoyed it and had such a good time? Or do you think you so…

Because we recognize that adults have an implicit authority over teens, which they wield, even subconsciously. She looks back at it now from the perspective of an adult. She’s an adult now and we can’t tell her she doesn’t feel a certain way–she’s an adult. But she was a teen then. So what do we say about that,…

disgusting.

I don’t celebrate his death because he has a family, and I think it’s tacky as shit, but I don’t care that he’s dead either because he was evil incarnate on the bench and I’m excited for his vacancy to be filled by literally anyone else with a soul.

That argument doesn’t even make sense because Americans elected Obama TWICE. I’d say that’s giving a voice, no?

No. He’s allowed to be upset, even if his performance wasn’t great. Press conferences immediately after a huge loss are the most idiotic concept.

They know her name and like Bill. That’s most of it. Also older Black people (like my grandmother) tend to be more conservative on social issues.

I know history extremely well. That's why I know Steinem has always been problematic. That's why my feelings toward her have always been mixed. And stop saying what she said was silly. It was misogynistic and offensive. Intent means nothing in this world, baby.

The fact that you think she's pandering to a male gaze and self objectifying is exactly the problem. You think that she can't make that choice without considering her appeal to men. Beyoncé has become more and more about lifting up women as she gets older, and she does it in her own style that makes white women…

Okay, no. Get out. You went too far. You don't get to decide where your voice belongs when you've been asked to leave.

Stop giving her a pass. She knows what she said. She's said it before.

She said something idiotic and insulting, not silly. Gloria Steinem is problematic as fuck. She refuses to let her alienating 2nd Wave beliefs die and/or grow and change. The 2nd Wave fell off because it too often told women who they should and shouldn’t be and then insulted them for their choices. It only…

It’s not a flaw of gender, it’s a flaw of culture that teaches one gender that they’re entitled to whatever and whomever they want. You can’t argue that men don't frequently kill women for being rejected.

His extensive surgery was a result of a MULTITUDE of factors and traumas related to his childhood. Do not dare to presume that you can say he was self hating. Your ignorance is exhausting. Like I said, stop. You are literally the last authority on what it means to be Black.

It

Because he could have said no. He didn't.

It’s very common? Like extremely common.

Some of them are motivated (often subconsciously, but I won’t give them a ton of credit because a lot of them do know exactly what they’re doing) by the desire to exert control over women. They want to show that they have a power. They can make us uncomfortable. They can force us to look at their penis, regardless of…

I thought it was just me and that I maybe had a serious brain problem (which I choose to ignore, if it’s true). I feel better now.
