I don't even like Taylor Swift, and I also watched the video out of boredom, but the constant harping on her and criticizing her when nothing's there to criticize makes me want to root for her. Also, Kara seems to be very invested in the idea of Taylor Swift caring a ton about twerking and being semi-racist. From the…

Bahahaahh! I know, right? I think they showed a close up of Rita Ora, and she was just giving this dead, glassy-eyed stare.

You do realize that she *knows* she can't dance, right? The entire point of the "Shake it off" video was to make fun of herself by comparing her own "dancing" to a professionals form various genres.

I mean, the token white girl is probably there because she's good at twerking, but it's a dance invented by black culture, so way more black dancers, which is why it makes sense most of the dancers are black, even in video featuring white pop stars.

I mean, I think it's balancing act between recognizing the needs of transwomen, and recognizing the needs of women-born-women—many who will be victims of male rape and male sexual violence, and all of whom are victims of the burden of thousands of years of women-born-women being abused, degraded, violated, having…

Nope. Seriously. As a trend, it's fucking disturbing. And I like this video and like NM.

OK, crazypants.

None of those countries give the tiniest shit about the human rights violations/police response in Ferguson and are grandstanding and using this to mock/tarnish the reputation of the United States and bolster their own power at home. LEAST of all Egypt, which had planned to execute something like 700+ protesters by…

He's a friendless, crabby, workaholic who hates the internet.

I mean the rape of Nanjing and other Japanese atrocities =/= the NAZIS and the genocide of millions upon millions of Jews. That's a false equivalency, although I get what you're saying. And while they're both *horrible*, one spanned multiple continents and involved major First World powers and numerous countries, was…

People really do dress like shit these days - I'm not even talking about jeans, I'm talking about like, sweatpants outside of the house, baggy ill-fitting clothing, workout gear, things too tight/shorty/trashy.

And being a biologist doesn't mean you know jack shit about anything. There are dozens upon dozens of fields and sub-fields. I doubt this person knows anymore about the chemicals/hormones in question than Google does.

You sound like a good lover. This person is just being an asshole.

Trans women are absolutely women. Trans women who have had surgery are welcome to go. Totally. Transwomen who are pre-op, however, well, I think it's REALLY problematic. Trans women are not women-born-women. I've already explained why I think they need a space in other replies, and am not going over it again/and other…

You know it's even worse with Asian parents, right?

...

It absolutely does separate women from men, as evidenced by literally *every* species on earth, but OK crazypants.

This is so patently stupid I can't even now.

Nope. Not even. This is like white people saying "they don't see color" when it doesn't affect them the same way as it affects PoC. Women are constantly reminded of being women, being lesser than, and of their vulnerability and ability to subject to violence and sexual violence, and part of that is being reminded…

I think the 50/50 thing is a really good point. The way the internet is structured and the way people self-select into certain spaces makes certain voices/opinions seem disproportionately large.
