It also seems that this interviewer showed up ill-prepared. Aren't you supposed to read the previously published press she already did about it, and maybe refer to it by asking her to expand on it, rather than asking the same basic questions she's already answered several times? I mean, I am no super fan and I feel…

No. Her job is to make music.

I'm fuming at all these white women who showed up to try to act like WW play no role in this kind of racism. I can't fucking stand supposed "allies" who claim to be feminists and know all about privilege, and then turn around and try to act like racism only comes from white men. As though because they are women, they…

I think the point was not that she found it degrading, but because she has already discussed it a lot and found the line of questioning tiresome. That was my read from the full piece, anyway.

Oh please. I'm so tired of WW trying to deny the role you all play in racism. If the white female players weren't constantly crying whenever black women do well in "their" field, then the white male officials wouldn't be jumping to their defense. And, as the OP said, the white women in the audience were laughing. No…

Elena's no-slam having ass lost ALL cool points with me. She should've read that asshole for filth right then and there.

Buy a pair of ears, wear leggings and a shirt that are realistic cat-colors, paint on whiskers, stuff the leg of an old pair of tights with rags or newspaper and pin it. Cat costume!

I'm equally used to this kind of filth coming from the Russian media.

Not that it in any way negates your comment, which is absolutely true, but in tennis those types of remarks started when Martina Navratilova started playing—she was so focused on fitness and just blasted her opponents off the court. Of course there were then remarks about her sexual orientation. I think it's really…

This shit is getting old. I'm reallllly starting to hate all things Russian. Ready to go all Pussy Riot in 3, 2, ...

Huh. Doesn't matter if its ballet, gymnastics or tennis, people legitimately get salty when a black woman dominates in "traditionally white sports".

She's the only part of Gotham I like. Well, not true. The show has one of the most talented casts I've seen in a long time. The writing/editing/all of the rest are just horrific.

I guess I'd feel this was more of a concern if Jezebel was known strictly for balanced, in-depth, cutting-edge journalism, and not so much for routine left-leaning snark. Since I'm a snarky, left-leaning person who doesn't like the Palins and thinks it's absurd that Bristol has published a self-serving and likely…

A racist misogynist Russian? Noooooooo way! I refuse to believe.

I would agree with you 100% on every point except that Bristol Palin can't stop acting like an arbiter of EVERYTHING. As you said, she's 20 and foolish ... but she's also an aggressive loudmouth. Sure, it's silly to compare her to Malala, but Bristol Palin pretty much deserves what she gets.

I did not read the comments, but she specifically says she was not raped. Can we not take her word for it?

Yeah of course it's mean, I just don't think the comparison is unfair.

Because Bristol wants us to know all about her dumb shit, and thinks she's a role model. This article was a fun way of problematizing Bristol's claim to authority by showing us what a real role model looks like.

That's the thing: if you're going to write and publish your life story — especially as a young twenty-something — you probably should have done some things worth writing about. Malala surely has. Bristol, not so much.

Assumably, YOUR mother isn't trying to pimp YOU out as an "abstinence-only expert" at $15,000 to $30,000 per speech.
