"5.) King Bey always brings her A-game and manages to have fun while doing it. I wish feminism could take some clues here. We don’t always bring our A-game, since we spend a whole lot of time trying to figure who’s in and who’s out as if that is going to get us anywhere. Time’s out for the WOC feminist meangirls shit.…

"2.) Sometimes bitches do need to bowdown. Call that a hip hop generation feminist sensibility, but it’s true. It’s just like when Papa Pope gave Fitz the read of the century last night in Scandal – “Boy, I’m literally above your paygrade.” It’s like the swag I don when academic goons try to step to me even though…
"5 Reasons I'm Here For Beyonce the Feminist"
http://www.crunkfeministcollective.com/2013/12/13/5-r…
Embarrassing incidents from my youth I'm glad to have outgrown: deciding I'm in love with a dickbag who barely has time to return my calls, thinking it's a good idea to perform an impromptu acapella rendition of Miami by Will Smith, drunk dialing aforementioned dickbag, and thinking that a poncho from Forever 21 was…
No one makes unadulterated choices, and there's nothing inherently incompatible with feminism and financial gain. What is incompatible is exploiting others for your own gain. What is concerning is Miley not responding to concerns of PoC for her exploitation of black women's sexuality. (I can also understand the…
No. Doing whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it is called sociopathy, not feminism.
breaking down structural barriers to equality in political, economic, and social spheres for all women, regardless of race, class, orientation, etc — it's not just 'doing whatever the fuck I want, when I want!' that's pretty frothy, surface, pseudo-feminism.
Exactly. And if she's really so critical of the objectification of WoC in music videos, maybe she could augment her "satire" with other, more positive and empowering images of them? So that young girls of color could see something other than a wall of bouncing asses (ahem sorry, some of them are "ironic" bouncing…
that would be true if thats what she was even doing. If Lily Allen was making a commentary about how WOC are objectified more often than white women in music videos than it would have been better. But she said herself that "it wasn't about race at all" which left everyone all like whaaa? because that just leaves us…
But here's the sad, ugly truth. The particular stereotype that black women are lewd oversexed (and as such) self-empowered beings is a myth that people like Lilly Allen and her director actually believe. There are some folks who actually believe that black women (and I believe some of the dancers are convinced of this…
As a man, I can't tell you ow happy it makes me to see how well the concerted decades-long effort to demonise that word and strip it of meaning has worked! Any way to minimise the importance of systemic discrepencies related to gender and reduce it to meaningless platitude driven terms like equalist, thus stripping…
Do you really want the kind of people in your life who feel THAT negative about a word like feminism? I mean Do *you* personally dislike many feminists or many things about feminism? What is it? The hairy legs? The fact that it's women ASKING FOR THINGS IN AN ANGRY WAY? Maybe it's the confrontational stuff like my…
somewhat off topic, but Equalist may conjure up some bad connotations as well...
Exist in a context-free bubble, blessedly free of past and future. Under no circumstances connect events to other events. Things happen; to presume that any sort of pattern or causality exists in the universe is the height of hubris.
It's bullshit to say she's a stupid idiot. She's not. It's bullshit to say she forgot about the cameras. I've watched the show this whole season and it's pretty clear that her denigrating comments were part of her normal personality and a way for her to degrade specific players in the eyes of potential allies. …
I've been coming to the conclusion more and more that feminism is more about closing the gap between white privilege and the patriarchy than it is about achieving full equality.
I..what... wait ... ugh Jezebel, i do not know what to say because you know that this hashtag started because JEZEBEL (and other white feminist websites) defended Hugo Schwyzer, you deleted comments and banned WOC because they spoke about his past and how he treated WOC like shit, THIS TAG APPLIES TO YOU AND HOW…
Erin! Erin! You missed one!
Hey Jezebel...
