I don't know if this is tearing your head off, but I do think that objectification - removing a person's agency and humanity and leaving only a sexualized body - is problematic. That's only tangentially related to whether something is overtly sexual or not.

Pretty sure it's the objectification feminists have trouble with, not necessarily the sexualization (although often they go hand-in-hand).

I cannot stand Sebastian and Violet. They were so so amazing until they got their own book, and then they were sad, brooding, damaged and completely un-fun sticks-in-the-mud. It was like character assassination and yes I'm still bitter.

Love Spindle Cove! Courtney Milan is great but Countess Conspiracy was such a bummer.

This is nice, but what would be really great is if a women on TV could actually get an abortion and then, I don't know, be OK.

FKA Twigs was robbed! Why are we not discussing that?

Yeah but when the right person sings gospel well even a non-believer like myself can feel the spirit. Great gospel is something else.

I know right?

Beyonce is beautiful, but as far as that song goes her voice compared to Ledisi (or Aretha, or Mahalia, or Nina Simone, or Irma Thomas, or even really Elvis), while pretty, is a little hollow.

Yeah - I would never listen to his music intentionally, but I thought he did a bang-up job as host.

Aren't the Olympics still enormous?
