I’m sure you’ve never felt the desire to be sexually noticed by people in their reproductive prime. You’re right, that’s not at all a typical human experience, and is only for self absorbed douches. (Besides, groups of middle-aged women have never gone to a bar/club and flirted with younger men.)

1. You sound like a treat yourself.

Does being a good feminist mean you can’t have empathy for another human being going through a very human life issue, because he happens to have a penis?

I don’t understand the point of this post. To let us know that an otherwise not-notable song exists? There are, I’d bet, a lot of new songs that start existing every day. It sort of seems like you’re trying to hard to be cool.

What a reasoned, provocative argument.

It’s possible that they didn’t know her mental health history, I guess?

Do we know that it was made up bullshit, or are you (understandably) just assuming from a place of frustration?

1. Making a comment about the fallacy of generalization doesn’t mean that one isn’t also appalled and outraged by the crime that took place here. People are capable of holding more than one thought simultaneously. It’s completely disengenious to imply otherwise.

Except, friend, your hysterical ad-hominem ranting didn’t address content at all.

You totally sound like the rational one in this exchange. And yes, it sounds like I’m the crying one.

That is almost certainly untrue. Inducing panic doesn’t help anything.

Natasha took a break from posing for profile pics with a blank, unaffected stare to tweet her support for Jordan’s horrible hit piece yesterday.

The original poster didn’t say “No suprise that a man did this.” They said “It’s almost like men are entitled, predatory assholes” — a blanket, monolithic statement that suggests all men have a character trait based on behavior that virtually 100% of men would rightly condemn. You would never accept a man…

To be fair, action films are also widely lambasted.

Soccer pro Hope Solo followed suit, covering her arms in an elegant gunmetal grey; I will refrain from making a goalie pun about how this outfit scores.

Well, you didn’t actually say much, other than a smug, cryptic “burn.” If you actually wanted to make a point you would have said more words, and I wouldn’t have had to infer.

So it’s OK to open up a woman to a potentially unwanted sexual advance as long as you are also a woman? It’s almost like you’re an idiot.

If a male comedian did it, people here would call it rapey.

I respect your opinion, but many, many smart people in artistic theory over the last 50 years have vehemently argued the exact opposite: that the author’s intentions and biography are completely irrelevant to evaluating the art itself.
