Ponytail and questionable dancing ability aside, I am pro-Ariana Grande. Girl's got some pipes and seems to do mildly more interesting things than other pop stars. Shooting alien robots (?) with boob missiles is WAY better than Katy Perry's cupcake icing thing. Plus her whole demon shenanigans was really entertaining.

Eh... my 19 y/o daughter is just like this, as far as looking much, much younger than she is, and I would be an asshole to tell her to "don't express sexiness".

So much hate on her physical appearance in here. I guess if she was fat, she would have been praised.

This dilemma is one I struggle with quite a lot and I rationalize it by consuming the culture I want to consume while ALSO rigorously looking at that culture and understanding where it comes from and how, it is problematic, how it could be better, and what we can do to demand better from the producers of what we

I am intrigued by radical feminism and the intensity of that commitment. They are all in and I have to respect that. I do think, however, that we have to differentiate between radical feminism and intolerant feminism. When radical feminism becomes intolerant, I have no patience for it.

Hi Roxane,

Although I know many trans people who are hardcore feminists, I also know a lot of trans women who are pretty apathetic about it because of past and present persecution in the name of feminism, as well as the tedious "BUT GENDER IS A CONSTRUCT!!!" and cissplaining kinds of microaggressions they often face in feminist

Roxane, totally. We can become better feminists by holding ourselves to higher standards. We can speak up instead of staying silent. We can deny ourselves the pleasures we know are problematic. We have to be willing to make hard choices to become better feminists.

I believe that if a woman wants to stay at home to raise her family, she should be supported in that decision. While I also recognize the great financial risk of that choice, the problem isn't women staying home. The problem is that we don't have the social structures in place to support women in making that choice.

Leaving an abusive relationship is one of the most dangerous times for a victim. Have you never heard of people stalking/assaulting/killing their exes? Key word: ex. As in; left them, broken up, no longer together.

"no one has said this previously" because most people here know at least a little bit about domestic violence to not make such a simple-minded, stupid statement. Seriously, do you not read any news stories about women who have been killed by their partners/exes? It's not as simple as "just get away." I can't even

This person is posting this same comment all over this article. It's apparently very important for them to let everyone know that she had it coming.

I am commenting here on this rather than the gawker article on it because there is way too much stupidity going on there in the comments. This is horrible. No one deserves to be assaulted like that and be nearly murdered no matter what they do for a living. I sincerely hope she makes a full recovery. All of the MRA

Do you really think it's super fucking easy to leave a guy who beats the shit out of you like this? Do you think a violent abuser is just gonna say "oh OK" and be totally respectful when you tell them you want to break up?

No woman ever has it coming. No woman deserves this. No person, man or woman, deserves this.

You're fucking gross and you don't understand the abuse cycle. Get educated, grow some empathy and become a human being and then we can talk.

Lucky for War Machine that he isn't a teenage black kid. He'd be dead already.

Thank you for calling her by her name instead of "porn star". I am drained from informing gawker commenters on why Gabrielle's headline for this same article WAS NOT OK. Get well soon Christy Mack!
