HATE SPEECH!!!

Fair enough. It can be hard to judge when quotations are meant earnestly, and not sarcastically, a la Darren Wilson's "injuries".

I can't make out all the words, and I'm hardly in a position to declare what Stefani's specific intentions were behind the song, because she hasn't spoken about it personally. I could guess that 'Spark the Fire' is a reference to spreading a message and supporting social change. I don't think it's feminist because…

The best way to get away with criticism legally, is to invent a Church of Hating Scientology and then get every statement covered by religious freedom. The legal standard for what passes for a legally protected religious belief is laughably low.

So are we shitting on things that aren't 'feminist' enough now? What is with the judgey quotes? I dunno, I kinda think that if Gwen Stefani (and every other awesome female public figure) wants to label their work as feminist, it can only be a good thing, right? Her career, in and of itself, has been an act of…

Let's hope Vaughn doesn't stink this up with his complete lack of range.

That tattoo offends me more than the drug dealing. Get your shit together, boy!

Rosie O'Donnell is my spirit animal.

That Desmond Tutu quote is EXACTLY what I've been wanting to say to every commenter who thinks we need to cool it with the Cosby accusations.

There's not really any point in poking holes in his 'logic', but I just see a special shade of red when a man tells women (in this case feminists) that they are womaning wrong. "Let me save you from your mistaken belief that you are capable of the things you are currently doing!"

I remember my dad gave me a bite of a pepper he grew- he didn't think it was hot at all, but on my child tongue that was accustomed to bland white people food, it was agony! I cried for an hour with a facecloth on my tongue- and he felt like a shit. Even if she's used to spice, that must have been super uncomfortable!

At least it's Germany, because the French would NOT be cool with that face covering.

Like, actually managing to be famous for racism in Arizona? Color me impressed!

I am loving the phrase "Famously Racist". Like, he's a special kind of racist, he's leveled up!

I know! "I'm not racist, I have a black friend! That's why I introduce him as 'my black friend'!" Problem solved forever.

Oh man, good luck girls!! I want to say, I am glad they contacted Jezebel to try to get some public traction and I'm glad that Jezebel is doing what they can to keep this investigation 'active'.

Sort of unrelated, but I went back to the original Rolling Stone story when I read this, and WOW that is a fucked up comment section. Being in the greys is a bitch, but so is having to scroll past some anti-Semitic creep and a rape denier yelling at each other ad nauseum.

He kind of reminds me of white friends who have black friends and love hanging out with them, but constantly have to bring up race in joke after joke. Everyone's laughing, but do we always have to draw attention to race? I'm hoping they grow out of it.

So men get Kim's full frontal, and I have to make do with this?! The patriarchy strikes again!

Too bad about the cash damages, because I would LOVE to see a woman who looks like that enjoy a stint in a woman's prison.
