It would be remiss not to note the role the current regime in the United States has had in fostering incel culture. Gamergate was a watershed moment in mobilizing online misogyny. Some of the key people fanning the flames of online anger associated with that event include Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopoulos. They

So basically...

“I want a paternity test.”

Trump, three weeks from now, when Jr. is indicted for perjury:

From what I understand, Phelps’ body has been proven to produce dramatically less lactic acid than the average human, allowing him to recover much faster from physical output. He’s a biological freak with a giant wing span and super mobility that allows him to move his body in a way others can’t -- I haven’t seen

I read an article about Michael Phelps once that described the many ways his physiology and biochemistry is different from the average schlub’s, making him a swimming machine. Never did the article suggest that this was a negative thing that should be suppressed, the tone of the article was more "wow, this is super

I don’t know how to explain to people that I’m not an issue: I’m a person. The Atlantic goes out of their way to play this edgelord both-sides game, and I’m more than done with it. I have to fight court battles over bathrooms; do you think I really want to read what some uninformed, empathy-bankrupt hack thinks of my

I haven’t heard any Trump supporters talk about Clinton being deathly ill since Trump was elected, really shows that they knew they were lying at the time.

I still remember that one of the earliest conversations I had with my now-husband was about the line “you held your breath and the door for me”

Nope...Pieces of You still holds up. Those are just really nice songs and Jewel is a very talented singer.

This whole article smacks of internalized misogyny. 

This will make it hard for right wing websites to sell that she’s literally dying like they did when Hillary was campaigning with pneumonia.

I agree with this take (and could apply it to so many things I loved in the 90s), but the fact remains that “You Oughta Know” is the best goddamn karaoke song ever to exist in the history of anywhere because 1) every woman in the bar will scream out the lyrics along with you, masking your truly hideous voice, and

I’m kind of a music snob. And in my music snob universe, I’ve always considered Alanis a new-age Leonard Cohen. She wrote her hit album at NINETEEN, for volcano gurl’s sake.

Head Over Feet was always my favorite song from Jagged Little Pill, and I think it still holds up! The other songs though, no thank you.

I’m sorry the person you were when you were younger embarrasses you so much now, but that does not make this album bad, it makes your perspective shallow.

Girl. No. This is a bad take and you should feel bad about it.

Is it possible your husband ruined it for you with his attitude?  My ex made me hate things I loved by ridiculing me/them.  

I have not listened to Jagged Little Pill in a very long time, but don’t ruin it for me. What’s next on your list? Pieces of You by Jewel?

Now playing

Gotta disagree hard on this one. IMO Jagged Little Pill holds up as a top 10 90s album. It’s a viscerally angry album and Alanis is SO GOOD at getting her emotions across.
