I gasped aloud at “It’s been real.” This is heartbreaking and infuriating. I had to break up with my mother (or ... she broke up with me, I’m never exactly sure where it landed) for basically the gay version of the same situation, and know at least to some extent what you’re going through. Wishing you strength and…

Seconding this advice, from a person who’s had to break up with his mother for similar reasons

Men are really terrible. I'm sorry about us.

I am so tired of this shit. AS IF Carrie and Aidan wouldn't have ended up divorced too. Everyone who ever watched this show is a revisionist historian.

Dude here. You helped turn me into a feminist. I'm pretty happy about it. Ok bye good job.

I always reply to that sentiment that there are far more people who HAVE kids for selfish reasons than the other way around.

YES. THIS. As soon as I saw that NY Mag piece, I said welp, there's another hilarious slang reference that will now be undone and overused and appropriated by people who will turn it into a byword for things it doesn't mean, just like "kiki" after that Scissor Sisters song a few years ago (a "kiki" is not a "party,"…

Has it occurred to you that this film takes place in 1982, and just as oftentimes gay men spent their lives with "roommates" and vigorously defended their "heterosexual" bona fides, perhaps transwomen handled their identities and gender expression and the offenses thereto differently than they do now? For reasons not…

Add this to the list of why I'm moving out of New York this summer. Chicago has bottomless brunch. BYE.

Care to detail how Madonna has shit on QPOC and QWOC? Tell me specifically how she's made POCs' lives worse, and how that negates the progress she fostered for white women and gay men.

That's not what I said, and that's a funny reading. So what point WERE you trying to make then? Or are you just trolling?

You are reading so, so much into what the OP said, and my guess is it has to with your own personal bugaboos. None of the things you're bellowing about are present in the OP's comment. Go back and reread it, after taking a breath and calming the fuck down. Not every criticism of a woman is an anti-feminist tirade, and…

Oh sorry, I wasn't aware that women and gay men only matter if they're women and gay men of color. I stand corrected.

I don't give a shit one way or the other about which demos she chases. What I give a shit about, and what I commented on, was this unhinged commenter's assertion that the OP is anti-feminist for finding it disingenuous that Madonna chases 15-yr-olds. A does not equal B.

YOU are vastly UNDERestimating her contributions. If I had to venture a guess, you're too young to know what the world was like for women and *especially* for gay men before Madonna. She's a mess, and I don't think "basic bitch" is an unfair moniker for her nowadays, but credit should be given where it's due.

Jesus, get a grip. She never said anything of the sort about women over 50 not being allowed to continue in pop. She said she's chasing a demo that is her daughter's—trying to appeal to 15-yr-old girls. Are you unfamiliar with the concept of demographics? You know what else is unfeminist? Putting words in womens'…

Way to go ladies. You really stuck it to them.

First: Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation Tour was the first concert I ever attended in my entire life and I'm still not over it. SO GOOD.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR PREFERRED VAGINAL PENETRATION FINGERS, ERIN GLORIA?! #eewdildos

Ugh. THIS. I finally gave in and accepted my stepmother's friend request, and she took offense to my "coarse language" and "public displays of homosexuality"—meaning, I guess, not endeavoring to hide it as I guess she must have assumed I did, out of some arbitrary measure of "decency" or whatever? I guess?—and has now…
