Riskier for Taylor Swift? She’s Taylor Swift. Leave it to a preeminent pro-feminist publisher to nit-pick, second-guess and habitually tear down a woman achieving at the height of her profession. It’s like when Jez pitched months of catty remarks at Anne Hathaway for trying to win an Oscar, because fuck it all if a…

I absolutely agree with you that Dowd is an asshole, but this part is utter bullshit:

Exactly. One, it doesn’t fit with her feminism rah rah rah thing; two, I really doubt she’s like, ‘You’re right, you SHOULD totally say that I owe you sex because you made me famous!’

I didn’t get to see Grease in the original language until the mid-Nineties (all we got here were and still are dubbed versions of it), and until then I thought “Maraschino” was a made-up name for the Italian version of the film. Finding out she was actually called that was a revelation.

Marty was my favorite character, for some reason. I have a soft spot for Dinah Manoff, from Grease and Soap.

I picked up on the weird flirtation between these two as a child and I remember it making me super uncomfortable.

THAT DRESS THOUGH. One of my fave all time dresses. I though Marty was so beautiful when I was a kid.

OH.

AHHH.

Oh come on, just because someone makes some shit up on Urban Dictionary doesn’t make it a real thing. I’m going to invent a sex act called the Betty Shooting Birds, where the guy smokes a cigarette, wears a blond wig and housecoat and ejaculates on his partner’s breasts and put it on Urban Dictionary and you’ll all…

Used to live in Bangkok. This trend is not even in the top 10 of creepy/weird shit going on there.

you are right. her tweet is homophobic AND sexist. I penetrated you = I devalued you? wtf wtf Amber...not much better than kanye, sorry

So, when he was fingering her, he had all the power? When a guy I’m with is fingering me, he has full power over me? Come on. And you’re saying I’m contrived?

I mean, I get that line of thinking, but let’s keep it 100: why would she keep bringing that up if it wasn’t to try to shame him? Why would it be shameful?

While it’s not cool for Ye to slut shame Amber, it’s also not cool that Amber’s go to attack on Kanye is that he’s gay or less than a man because he’s into whatever. Buried in your links his her most recent gross tweet.

When you are at a house party, I’m guessing it’s loud and crazy. It is highly likely a group called of drunk youths didn’t notice her leave right away. And if sweetly if wearing shorts and a tank top, I’m guessing the poor lamb didn’t last so long.

Look, I’m not saying I wouldn’t hunt down a friend in a similar situation. Of course I would and I have on many, many occasions. I was the official babysitter for years because I’m not a big drinker. I’m just not OK with placing any blame on them. They are also young and dumb but they are not responsible for her death.

“It would be more useful to compare a one-to-one example, even if hypothetical, as opposed to Gayle’s. The simple truth is that you’re ignoring the broad context of how women are systematically treated with much harsher beauty standards than men and are much more likely to be discriminated against in nearly all areas.…

It’s her! She’s pregnant!
