I dunno. I'm a person of color and if I said that "Oh you know anti-racism and civil rights, it's like watching paint dry amirite?" I think people would be understandably pissed. She's building her dumbass career and persona on some antiquated feminine icons though so I'm not really shocked.

Oh Lana. There's nothing surprising about an upper class white woman in America claiming that they have not encountered challenges related to their gender. But to basically allege that the issue is moot stinks too much of ignorance of the rest of society and unacknowledged privilege. She claims to have lived in a…

Lana del Rey is a talentless hack. Why real musicians pay any attention to her baffles me.

Haters gonna hate.

Once, the KKK stopped the Church for protesting a soldier's funeral, because we live in a weird fucking country.

Men are an inferior species. If the sight off a little skin or a bra strap distracts you then you really should not be allowed to run the world or handle any machinery

Well, I'm black so I've never worried about this. Ever. The only time I wear sunscreen is if I know I'm going to be in the sun for several hours. Which is rarely.

This is why the term "all American girl/boy" pisses me off. You never hear that term associate with non-white people because it reinforces the racist ideology that only Caucasians are the Real Americans(TM). And this explains why the media rarely shows Asian Americans in tv shows and movies. Asians are only allowed to…

Damn right! We don't see armies of women who have lived through sexual assault taking up arms and shooting up crowds of men. Something tells me that being sexually assaulted is orders of magnitude worse than being "rejected" and "lonely." Harumph.

I have to say: I never, ever understood what it really meant for something to be "triggering" until I started following this incident, tried to read Rodger's "manifesto," and learned more about the conversations/cultures on these forums.

I wish I could remember where I saw it but someone on Twitter put it as (paraphrasing) "Imagine one in 20 m&ms are deadly toxic and will kill you instantly if ingested. Now someone gives you a bowl and tells you to eat a handful. You say no way, that could kill you. But not all m&ms are poisonous! they say."

The real point is that patriarchy robs everyone, female, male and otherwise, of the ability to be their fullest, best versions of themselves. 99.9% of us play a part in that gender policing. Women have fought for more free self-expression and have gotten it, at least in the Western world (when I was a kid, girls…

Translation: your evidence isn't evidence because . . . . um . . . . uh . . . . no penis!

I remember being a little girl when my older sisters were such bullies to me and then they would turn around in the next minute, see a neighbor or answer the door, and pretend to be so sweet as they said, "Good morning, Miss So and So." So, I taped this quote on my bedroom door and I refused to let them get away with…

Everyone looks better when they're standing next to mahhhble columns.

Part of being a woman is being shamed for saying yes, and attacked for saying no. And guilty of something either way.

There was a great video I saw once that likened sex to musicians jamming, how it's a more or less free-form collaborative experience where everyone needs to focus on each other and work together in order for it to work. I really liked that analogy. Don't remember where I saw the video, unfortunately.

Sorry but a selfish misogynistic asshole is not mentally ill. If I walk down the street and a man gets so mad that I didn't take the time to give him my number that he calls me a ugly bitch he is not mentally ill. If I get on the train and a man feels on my ass during rush hour while pointing a knife at my back he is…

At the end of my senior year in high school, I broke off a long-distance relationship only to receive a terrifying letter filled with declarations of love and threats of violence. I thought I had dodged a bullet when nothing happened by the time I went off to college, only to learn that he raped a girl shortly after I…
