I suspect the writer’s point wasn’t that the statement made her insufferable, it was that despite her being right she (in their mind) continued to be insufferable. Basically her being right and Kanye being wrong didn’t change the fact that she’s a phony (in the Salingeresque sense) and that the author of the article…

Amen - the woman only uses feminism to prop herself up, and she never gets even half the vitriol Beyonce got when she performed Flawless. White mediocrity wins again, I guess.

Me too...and also, the whole “I did it by myself” thing.. I’m sure she has talent but her daddy bought a share in a record company that signed her on later, and she comes from three generations of bank presidents...so taylor, you kinda didn’t. I mean, fuck Kanye though. But I’m not here for everybody making her out to…

Preach!!!

I really doubt that Taylor Swift told Kanye West that they might still fuck one day.

Do you really expect the lawyer to ignore the fact that she sent Ghomeshi flowers and asked to fuck him again, and then failed to mention those things to the prosecution? That’s not whacking. That’s an unreliable witness. I personally believe them and I think Ghomeshi is guilty as hell but when you’re trying a case…

I agree, at the same time, it doesn’t alter the fact that you have a victim who sent her alleged rapist flowers and sexy messages practically begging for another encounter, and then failed to inform the prosecution that she’d done this, so can you really blame his lawyer for using that to defend her client? I mean,…

They may have omitted them because of the perception that their case would be unwinnable, but having all the information ahead of time allows the Crown to bring in an expert witness to refute the stereotypes by explaining that people try to normalize their trauma. You can’t withhold relevant information, admit that…

“It’s a really icky narrative they’ve sold the jury, one really more suited to MRA and Incel message boards than a court of law.”

For a number of reasons the Crown seems like it won't be able to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That SUCKS. They put on a case with as many holes as a slice of Swiss cheese. They could have—-and should have—-done MUCH better.

lololololol wat

no male politician? what about obama? people didn’t even think he was a citizen. for years. and some STILL don’t. even people who like obama have called for accountability on myriad issues. bill clinton was subject to a lot of scrutiny as well, from both the left and the right. i get that a lot is being asked of…
