But I want to snark his faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace. His constipated, smug, douchebag face.
This man would not last A DAY in Lindy West's Twitter life.
This is how you apologize. You say "I am very sorry. Mea culpa. I was wrong and I won't do it again."
I hope you're funnier on stage than you are on Twitter.
You felt bad for upsetting HIM. And you had no problem saying that you wanted her, a person you'd never met, to fall down a flight of stairs.
Yup - it's just more of "MY BONER IS A COMPLIMENT" bullshit with zero comprehension on how rape is definitely not a compliment.
Yeah, she totally shouldn't have worn those slutty, well-reasoned opinions like she did. She had it coming.
Seconded! I am so sorry that you're the target of these ugly responses. Lindy, you are amazing and THANK YOU for speaking out!
I follow you on twitter, and I've been watching this from the sidelines. I'm so glad you put this out there. Yeah, rape is just basically sexy sex time and only the hottest porn-stariest broads are lucky enough to get it AMIRITE BROS?
Oh, Lindy. :(
This post, and your televised debate, are among your best work. I'm not questioning your right to use profanity, but when you're clear and direct like this, you are unquestionably at your best.
My parents used to tell me: Jokes are when people laugh. None of this is funny; it's straight-up intimidation. As…
Dudes. I am female, Hindu and Indian, and I can tell you that this is not offensive. In current Indian culture, the bindi IS a fashion accessory. It is treated as such by every single Indian woman I know. My mom has a thousand different ones to match all her outfits. Indian Embassies all over the world give out bindis…
What Gomez is wearing is NOT a bindi The image below is a bindi. A small red disk made of pressed red clay / red dye.
Being an Orange County girl I grew up loving No Doubt. Gwen stefani wore a Bindi for many years and is the one that comes to mind after reading this article. She donned it while performing at award shows, in music videos and in public just out and about. and considering her and I went to the same church I can confirm…
I wish 'cultural appropriation' as a term would disappear entirely. It's simply a dog whistle for idiots who want to wallow in minority self-pity. It means nothing, and its only purpose is to cut off all conversation about the relevant topic. Anyone who uses it without the proper sneer is unlikely to know anything…
Sooo I have to disagree with Rajan Zed. I worked in rural India for a year in a mixed Muslim and Hindi community. Plenty of Muslim women wore bindi, I was encouraged to wear bindi, etc. I asked about it specifically and was told that it was "for beauty." Perhaps it ALSO has religious significance, but it is not solely…
If we were talking about the highly oppressed Native Americans and marginalizing their culture, I might be inclined to agree that this is probably in poor taste. But Hinduism is almost a billion strong and their culture is thriving. Just as the cross being used in anti-religious ways is not only permitted, but often…
Look, I GET this idea of cultural sensitivity. I do, really, but seriously if I kept a list of every article of clothing that I'm "not allowed" to wear I'd have to go outside naked.
What if my white girlfriend wears a kimono? Is that insulting? Would a Japanese person be wrong to burst in front of us and scream…
Didn't we already have this conversation with Madonna in the 80's? I think pop music decided to take whatever religious icons they want for the sake of fashion.
