“You’re tearing me apart, Brad!”

Well inside i can tell you are a fucking moron.

When my sister caught the bouquet at a wedding, her then boyfriend remade a big show of running from the garter toss. But she was expected to laugh and act like it was fine. Sadly, she did later marry him and they had a horrible marriage, followed by a drawn out divorce. Anyone whose idea of a joke is public…

As a modern Feminist that loves to argue I’ve never once said that false rape allegations never happen, nor have any of my friends. They do exist, at the same level they exist for everything else. On the other hand, when my boyfriend was mugged, nobody thought he might be making it up for attention, even though there…

Because if rape accusations are fake, then there’s no rape problem and they don’t have to deal with it. I really think that’s the root of it. It’s also the double-whammy of slut-shaming — the idea that women have sex, regret it, and call it rape. Suggesting that an accusation of rape is fake not so subtly calls women…

Seriously, growing up I never even had a notion of the outright hatred, physical abuse, sexual and psychological abuse that women suffer and fear from men on a daily basis. Thank God I met, became friends with, worked with, and learned so much from all the dear women in my life. Although in many respects I was a…

That all makes perfect sense. It's weird to sit back now and talk about all that. This is actually the first time I've tried to remember that time - my musical interests have gone in such a different direction. I guess this is what the Boomers all felt like in my childhood when they'd tell me stories about seeing…

YES. I totally understand what you are saying. To a number of the guys Courtney was a prototype ‘manic pixie dream girl’ (but a very very dark one) that they simultaneously wanted and hated. And the female hate for Courtney was very simply, she’s not right for him but *I* am. *I* can help him/save him/fix him. I loved…

Apparently you need a dick to get away with that shit.

Thank you for this. I said something similiar downthread. It was obvious to me that she blames herself for a lot.

I’ll be able to take any manner of slights at Love’s character in stride while watching this, so long as they don’t come after her talent as a musician/lyricist. “Gifted artist and supremo asshole” is a combined persona/reputation that so easily resonates with the public when it comes to male musicians, so I’ve never…

I was pretty young when Cobain died and just starting to get into music. I have always found the Courtney hatred to be over the top. I think she is nuts and a mean person. But I have never believed she killed Kurt or Kristen Pfaff. Nor do I think she drove Kurt to his death. I remember classmates freaking out because…

Live Through This WAS as brilliant as Nevermind; lyrically speaking, in my opinion, it was superior. Say whatever you will about Courtney: her influence on Kurt’s songwriting is extremely evident on most of his later work.

They hated her for the same reason they hate Miley Cyrus, to name one example. She acted out, did crazy shit, seemed to love being the center of attention. Mostly all harmless behavior, as far as I know. Doing heroin while pregnant is certainly bad, but I really don’t think that’s why she was hated.

I love Courtney Love! I definitely wouldn’t call any individual criticism or critic of her behavior sexist, but the amount of criticism she gets compared to male rock stars is totally sexist. No one expects their male rock idols to be all sweetness and light and humility and sanity and rationality and moderation. In…

I don’t know if I can properly explain what I’m thinking...

I never understood the Courtney hate. Yeah, she comes off as a bit of an attention seeker, but if we judge her just based on the merits of her music, her band did two absolutely brilliant albums (Live Through This and Celebrity Skin). I've always thought Love Through This was every bit as great of an album as…

I remember Kurt and Courtney together very well. Kurt was never going to be a fifty year old rock star- desperately clinging to the last vestiges of his fame. He was always going to be a wounded misunderstood boy genius that died unfortunately one way or another and he was always going to have a wife/other who fit…

Courtney KILLED Kurt AOL chat rooms are the equivalent to Anti-Vaxx Facebook pages.

I will never forget, one day I was unloading my car for a party with my best friend and my then boyfriend. The BFF and I were discussing our great love of Hole, when the boyfriend, all pissy, asks how on earth we can like Hole when Courtney Love heads said band. I asked him what he had against Courtney Love, and he…
