Rape is a far more heinous and depraved act than assault. I realize that my statement is conclusory, but I’m quite comfortable with that in this instance.

Right? But she was secretly recorded? So they were bad parents, and because they were bad parents, it’s their fault that she bathed and was secretly recorded? If the parents weren’t the ones recording her....I’m lost.

Imagine the precedent it would set if his suit was determined to have any merit. God forbid a 16-yo kid gets raped and their parents were divorced or something, that’s supposed to clear the perpetrator of wrongdoing? I’m not a legal expert, but I cannot imagine why any attorney would waste their own time with this…

Wait, so his argument is that they were bad parents who raised a kid dumb enough to go to Taylor’s house and let herself be filmed in the bath?

I just keep finding reasons to use this.

She made it easy for that particular pack of idiots to forget she was black. Then she started talking publicly about real issues and-OH SHIT!-

Please. New York City would be crime free today if Beyonce were running the NYPD and you know it.

They were totally fine with her up until she started speaking up about black lives.

I have noticed that white conservative pundits like to lash out at Beyoncé for increasingly frivolous reasons. Mike Huckabee takes potshots at her almost constantly — perhaps the most famous example is when he said that her husband Jay-Z was pimping her out.

I dunno, I feel like for a long while Beyonce was an “acceptable” black and then this album came out and people realized that she viewed herself as a genuine black woman. Apparently that was just too much for them.

I find it weird when white people are open enough in their racism to hate on Beyoncé. I mean, as far as public figures go, she’s pretty wholesome as well as being obviously talented as all hell, and everyone’s suburban mom loves her music. But, like, even she’s still all terrifyingly BLACK to a fair percentage of the…

What is the right wings obession with beyonce. I just don’t get it.

Also, the person she “left” her child with was that child’s other parent. If it was a succession of hired nannies I might be willing to entertain some speculation (although being raised primarily by paid help has worked well enough for enough people for long enough that I’m not even really ready to raise an eyebrow)…

Try explaining an 8 year gap on your resume caused by raising the child you birthed out the vagine. I’m convinced that I’d have an easier time finding work as a paroled felon. Advanced degrees and an awesome resume? Too bad you shat out a bebe, honey. You’ll never work in this town again!

And this right here is what pisses me the fuck off about our parenting culture in America. Parents (well, mostly mothers) are expected to be able to fill every single need for their children single-handedly. A parent is expected to be a caretaker, teacher, cook, laundress, cleaner, food source, and crafter-in-chief.…

Victim blaming. So 2015.

thought this was common practice tbh

Yeah, I’ve known that shit since I got my first passport - when it was a Xerox you carried separate from your passport.

“Accused Fake Teen Doctor” is my band name and none of you can have it, unless you want to be in the band.

You know, most kids use their fake IDs to buy beer.
