Didn't you know, God is American

I got the joke (right?)

Interesting. And icky.

Someone fingered you without your consent and that's cool with you? To each her own, I guess. In any event, just because you weren't bothered by it, doesn't mean other women shouldn't be. Also, I don't understand why you're so angry about women seeking therapy for rape. What difference does it make to you?

I made the mistake of reading the rape apologist link. Disgust doesn't even come close to what I'm feeling right now.

Thank you

I balked at that too

Absolutely. It was a pretty mild joke

I can see your point. She does use her very public love life to sell records.

Fair point. The criticism really isn't about sex, so 'slut-shaming' is the wrong term here. But it *is* about her dating too much. I'm not disagreeing with you though; writing songs that are very obviously about certain ex-boyfriends is tacky.

Ugh.

I'm no Taylor Swift fan, and I love Tina Fey, but it seems to me that giving unsolicited advice that a girl should take a break from dating to 'find herself', is a form of slut-shaming. It would be different if Taylor had asked Tina for advice, and that tidbit was offered in a private conversation. But to publicly…

Thank you! I was surprised to only see one comment about it. "Score a black kid"? wtf

Yes, you're right. Huskies and the like are probably fine outside. Just a knee-jerk reaction to hearing about a dog left outside, I guess.

I think the thing is, there isn't really a history in the West of dressing up as Ancient Greeks to mock and insult them.

Native Americans are still marginalized and disadvantaged today. So no, their oppressors are alive and well.

But it's not a shared bathroom. It's her own private bathroom in her apartment. Why should she hang a sign? To remind herself to do something she already knows to do?

Tampon boxes usually say "flushable" on them. My mom only ever used pads, so I just followed the instructions on the box.

Yes, the lid is key!
