I really object to Miley using that wrecking ball as a prop in her video. She doesn't even acknowledge that she got the title of her song from an actual wrecking ball. I, for one, will be boycotting all her music after this travesty.

Yeah, I don't see a single thing wrong with her statement. Unfortunately, our society tells women that they must be beautiful but at the same time never admit that they for a second believe they are pretty. Because if you ever say out loud that you're happy with your looks, someone will be there in an instant to…

No, no. I agree with a lot of the things on Racialicious, but that one was completely off.

I really hope I can articulate this without it going awry...So I recently was thinking this same thing about the disconnect between "feminism" and "white women feminism."

he never claimed all the credit nor is he getting it, just because it's popular doesn't mean everyone forgot about all the other people who have helped enhance the conversation. Having a hip hop single in the top 40 where in emcee even utter the words "I thought I was Gay" is a progress people. I cannot believe this…

ANSWER: NO.

In a world where some young people's parents don't even support them - is it really so bad that maybe they can look up and say "my favorite rapper supports me" or "my favorite pop star loves and accepts me even if they can't."

Let's not alienate our allies. Most if not all of our recent victories in terms…

He recently went on a talk show (Chelsea Lately?) and said that he'd originally written the song from a bullied gay kid's point of view (That's not verbatim.) and that when he went in to record it, Ryan Lewis said "You know, that's not really your song to sing. I mean, you're not gay." So, he rewrote the song to tell…

Are young people listening to the song? Young people in communities where attitudes might be less accepting or lagging behind where more and more of the country is? Then what he's done is a good thing. Because making those kids challenge their assumptions is where progress is made. The kid who joined in when someone…

Wow...just when I thought Jezebel couldn't overanalyze one more thing, it did. Based purely on the song's lyrics, this song by Macklemore AND Ryan Lewis (OMG...JEZEBEL forgot to give credit...the author is obviously anti-Ryan) specifically addresses the homophobia in the hip-hop community.

To me, this sort of seems like ragging on men who identify as feminists. How can you speak up for women's rights when you're not a woman? Don't you understand your penis makes you part of the problem? We can speak for ourselves!

well...i understand that straight people cant understand the pain and obstacles that gay peoples go throught...but for god sakes...do not make THAT mistake!

I love how Big Freeda's main point was if you're going to do it, do it well. Don't make the gimic "I'm a white girl doing a stereotypically black thing," make it "I'm whatever race I am and I'm going to twerk the shit out of this song."

Truthfully, I choose not to get involved in the Lena Dunham debates on Jezebel because I feel like, as a group (as the Lena Lovers and Lena Haters tend to band into), the discussion becomes very unobjective. This is my way of making light of the conversations I see in the commentariat here. No apologies.

This is a legitimate point, but I think we should have a discussion about the fact that she doesn't include any black people, Indians, Chinese people, gay people, parapalegics, Bosnians, white southerners, squirrels, or methheads in this write in. I for one, am very offended that she's not using her privilege to…

but its so damn catchy with the w-watch y'self

I feel so bad for people trapped in a reality where they have to acquire stuff and surrender their own happiness in order to be considered "legitimate."

What the fuck? Waiters get paid below minimum wage, plus tip. I'm saying they should be paid at least it, or more. I am saying that tipping needs to go, too, when it comes to the wage people start at.

Seeing as my husband is almost 10 years older than me - no to #1.

Last time I went to a strip club after getting a lap dance the woman using her finger rubbed some of the lubrication from her vagina and wiped it on my nose. Seems the woman can get aroused from the lap dance as well. How about that...
