It’s fascinating to watch such personal growth and creative development!

Who is the collective “we” that applauds her for not defending herself for over a year? When someone wrongs me I address it immediately. But that’s hard to do when they’ve got you on tape and you’re busy plotting.

when you say “goofy on purpose” do you mean bad on purpose? I haven’t seen anyone say that it’s too goofy or silly, just that it’s badly made/boring/has a terrible, uncatchy chorus. Like, how are people being “played” by not liking a song? I just can’t see how you can say that unless you’d be willing to say that no…

Right? I was really hoping this would be her owning up to being a dick last summer, but it’s just her blaming someone else for her behavior. COOL.

I think it’s great that the new Taylor is willing to stand up for herself by holding grudges and getting even with people who made her the victim. It’s really groundbreaking territory for her lyrics.

I really hope she beefs with Beyoncé at some point so Twitter is nothing but venomous bees and snakes. Like Australia.

Aren’t you generally supposed to release a good song for your album’s first single?

She also dated and married a known Sean Penn. Lots of otherwise wonderful people have questionable dating taste.

My coffee table book is “How to Talk To Your Cat About Gun Safety” and it cost less than $10 on Amazon. I think my book is better.

Are you suggesting that I’m saying that? Cause exactly the opposite. Beyonce’s cognitive dissonance concerning how money “happens” for the rest of us is only one of the reasons I don’t like her. Sounds like you’re taking my comment in a completely different direction (one that I certainly don’t occupy). You OK?

I think the issue is choosing to put him on blast when there are kids involved. Joss totally deserves to be put on blast but by doing so this woman put her children in the line of fire.

No. He can do shitty things and still promote, support and further women’s rights while giving women equal space in his shows and films. He can be an imperfectly human feminist.

If your concept of feminism requires the person to be of impeccable moral fiber before they can join in, yes.

What I’m not doing is judging whether he is blaming other people for his infidelity based on out-of-context statements, provided by his ex, from a letter I can’t read in its entirety.

Because that moral high ground is always shaky. Maybe if she had mentioned this shit five years ago, when they were getting divorced, she might not have earned any snark. Five years on? Fuck off, you’re attention seeking.

I’m all for not lying to the kids but 5 years on, this seems like a permanent invasion of *their* privacy.

Hi! *waves* feminist and a cheater here. I have tits and a vagina.

I dunno what circles you’ve been hanging out in, but Joss Whedon was never “lauded as a feminist god friend and champion paragon on virtue” in mine. Buffy was a fun show. He was never a thought leader. I’ve spent years in a relationship with a highly manipulative man, so I understand and respect her desire to reclaim…

I don’t think either party should be playing their relationship in Publix and from what I can tell, only 1 is.

Jesus fucking christ, is his ex wife a 14 year old experiencing social media for the first time?
