Complaining that a rapper ripped off anyone is rich, considering ripping other people off is what rappers DO.

Rob is terrified that his status as an accredited victim is being threatened by someone like Macklemore, who, although a terrible rapper, represents a new standard of tolerance and acceptance among a white plurality. Don't let his scheduled tantrum bother you.

Macklemore can go back to his needle and leave us all in peace.

Since when is Frank Ocean ignored? He hasn't put out an album since Channel Orange, which came out in 2012. Throughout 2013, Frank Ocean was championed up and down the media for being incredibly talented. He was the media darling for most of last year.

Why do people sit and bitch and moan when a straight white dude finally steps up as an ally? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Oh give it a goddamn rest. I said NOTHING about her age, considering I AM 40 FOR FUCKS SAKE. So shove it. Shove it with a broomstick from Katy Perry's performance. Making a joke about someone and how they are dressed/act who happens to be of a certain age DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE AGEIST. Goddammit. I make the same jokes…

The article, however, is focusing on gay male privilege and how they benefit from it in society. Women are still in the exact same spot on society's ladder with or without gay men. Even if women use gay men as props, gay men can still get the privileges of being male that women do not. (btw I can't see the other…

Except CylonLover is not saying, "but what about the poor menz?!"

I sound like a sexist dude because I'm standing up with gay men against straight women's heterosexism? Wow, rarely have I, a queer woman, been told I sound like a "sexist dude" because I'm standing with gay men against straight women. If I'm trolling then I'm trolling, but you can go fuck yourself.

I'm not trying to determine who is "oppressed more". I am acknowledging, as you have, that within this dynamic are groups who are simultaneously privileged and not privileged. Meaning, in reality, straight women are straight and gay men are men. In context, straight women are the majority of this site's audience. …

I don't think they are the same. I'm talking about the person who literally said they hate gay people because one of their gay "friends" was shallow or another person who said they have never met nice lesbians in real life or the person who said they struggle to be friends with gay people. Some gay men are very…

Absolutely not! But Jezebel readers tend to enjoy pieces about their own oppression, giving cursory attention to articles about marginalized groups. The fact is the straightness of straight women is not some mere factoid, it is a very real privilege that they very really have. Discussing gay men's male privilege on…

Although I don't agree with every aspect, this a very thoughtful article, but it's really paining me to read these comments. I'm a lesbian, so I've experienced lots of misogyny in my life, and I've also experienced a lot of homophobia. It's great to examine misogyny in the context of gay men, but it's not okay that so…

But isn't bringing up how straight women contribute to the fetishizing important? Why can't we talk about both at the same time? In my mind we SHOULD talk about how gay men and straight women treat each other as "other" in the same conversation.

My goal was not to diminish the author's perfectly valid article, but to remind the straight woman focused website not to get its head too far up its own ass. There's nothing wrong with discussing all sides of the problematic dynamic between straight women and gay men. In fact, I think, given the audience, it's very…

As a straight white male I come here to get a pulse on a certain POV on where sex-relations are and where they should go, and as a member of a group that obviously needs to change, I think that's important for me to do. This isn't the only place I look. One thing that I notice, and I won't venture to guess why, is…

Are you serious? It's like a personal essay contest for stories about bad experiences with gay men. I'm not talking about comments on this thread, I'm talking about other replies to the article. Here's one of the more lovely gems:

But why does asking a gay man to examine how parts of their society divorce themselves from half of society that has a similar and related history of oppression from the patriarchy turn into "but they do bad things to us too!"

Insightful.

Gay men can be incredibly misogynistic, but straight women often treat them like little accessories. Talking about a gay privilege in this context seems disingenuous unless you're referring to the way gay cis voices dominate the LGBT discussion.
