“Going after him” is a bit of wishful thinking/projection of victimhood. He got asked to answer some questions. Decent odds that he’s not interesting, responsible, or intelligent enough to have played a significant hand in anything worth “going after him” for in the first place.

Case in point: To the best of my…

No racist bones... But the skin, musculature, connective tissue, cartilage, and the tiny little brain that couldn’t determine that this was a mistake? Probably pretty racist.

We didn’t all have to deal with this for two days. It would be easy enough to just... not give a damn. Especially while Britney Griner is ACTUALLY detained in another country, and wrongfully so...

That wouldn’t happen, though. When Steph and LeBron go to China, they’ll be treated like they’re major for the rest of their lives. Because they are. And the question wouldn’t be “how would fans react,” but rather, “how would Chinese media cover the trip.” Chinese media would cover the trip.

No shade to you, it just…

No it wouldn’t. People have a right to self-advocacy. People with an incredible body of work have a right to proud of that body of work. An ugly truth is still prettier than the lies that allowed this piece to get published.

He’s just aging. He was embittered when he was writing those two great albums and most of the rest of them.

Do you have a counter-argument to offer? Perhaps an editor struck something critical? You reacted to his observation without actually examining it. And it’s 100% true.

Respectfully: You’re 72 years old and you haven’t figured out that your own thinking is part of why we can’t have nice things?

You’re conflating a numerical argument with qualitative impact...

If I had to guess which individuals are being more impacted by these issues, I’d lean toward the smallest minority group. The one that it is almost socially acceptable to violently attack or murder. The one that it is socially acceptable to label a…

Except that’s not what’s happening here. This is women who want to be addressed as women also wanting to determine how others address those for whom the term women does not or does not yet apply. They’re still being addressed as women. They’re just being included in a broader category. Your argument is basically…

“I will never have children and I still don’t like the idea of doing away with woman/women, for any reason.”

You’re more closely aligned with people who actually want to do away with women (in any capacity outside of meal prep and reproduction) than the people you’re strenuously objecting to while simultaneously being…

So what’s the way to do it? Anybody can nitpick someone else’s suggestions.

Read for comprehension: This is not a conversation about “more popular,” it’s a conversation about discrimination and negotiating in bad faith (or in this case, not negotiating at all).

Amy Schumer was offered $11 million and Netflix eventually negotiated up to $13 million.

Mo’nique was offered $0.5 million and Netflix…

You’re an amazing human being, so your perspective on this is helpful and interesting.

***Wouldn’t even have this job without this family...***

Horse left the barn, though...  If this dress is so iconic, the heat should be on the folks who greenlit this...

Hahahahahahahaha! *Gasping for air* “iconic piece of American” *pauses to collect breath* *keeps laughing* “cultural history.”

Also, it’s a fucking dress.

Three words that make NO fucking sense together: historically significant dress.
