Shaking imagining commenters going ballistic when they see me leaving an ebony battleaxe behind so I can take a few bloody skulls back to my homestead, to add to my bloody skull pile.

Not quite, no.

Obviously.

Big shrug from me. Maybe it’s the persona she puts on for some of her songs? Like a depressed 50s housewife chain smoking but she’s dutiful toward her man and secrets away her thoughts in her Sylvia Plath inspired journal.

I went back to her original post and I’m still baffled. “Delicate” “fragile” personality? Versus those other women who aren’t delicate? Or their music doesn’t represent their fragility? But then I’m jealous that FKA Twigs’ pole dancing is art (feminine) but I’m a whore (bad?)

Recognizing the implicit biases you may hold. That's the important part. 

But like.... literally when did anyone even have a go at her for being feminine and dainty? And she’s said several times shes not a feminist so like.... what does feminism even have to do with anything?

The fuck is she on about, basically.

That won’t work either. If you call him a hypocritical coward, they’ll just say you’re a hater and a jealous bully. Try showing them evidence he’s a hypocritical coward, and you’re back to facts and logic again. I’ve been through these arguments with Trumptards. It doesn’t matter what reality is, they’ll just…

Not according to the Karens of the world. They get to state their opinions and you can’t respond or else it’s attacking them. 

It’s weird that she says this and then conveniently left women like Adele or Taylor Swift off her list. She named mostly black and people of color female artists to contrast herself against but didn’t name artists that are more “feminine” and white. I wonder why she didn’t name arguably the two most popular female…

The fact that she was born super fucking rich and also has a 1-in-a-billion-chance career that most people would kill for (well, she probably had more of a shot than others bc of her connections, but there are plenty of rich people who would love to be pop stars and never pulled it off) and is still somehow whining…

The reason uneducated lower-income white men support Trump is because he tells them what they want to believe about themselves.

I agree that Trump’s main currency is white supremacy but I think Nichols’ piece leads to a very necessary about masculinity not just for white working-class men but for men of all races. He’s polling at 8-13 percent with black men and 20+ percent with Latinx men.

Also, a lot of the characteristics Nichols thinks represent the opposite of idealized masculinity are actually representative of masculinity as it is performed in this country. From my experience with men who lean into their masculinity, it is about performing dominance by antagonizing people, all in the service of…

I think you nailed this right on the head. All through the article, he keeps pointing out what we already know except for one thing. After all, why would white people elect someone who is so far outside of what they claim to be/stand for? He’s not conservative in any real way. Yet conservatives stand behind him. He’s…

This Is also the answer to why so many politicians who previously preached THE CONSTITUTION!! etc. can now twist themselves Into knot defending the things they said were so wrong: Trump does and says all the racist bullshit they always wanted to do and say and gives them cover. Oh, sure, when he’s long gone, they’re…

I mean if Tom Nichols was in front of me and read this steaming pile of shit to me I would’ve slapped him silly and said the reason that people that look like you excuse all of his fuck ups, failings and mistakes is because well HE LOOKS LIKE YOU!!!! The question that none of these mouth breathing chud monkeys seem to…

Part of the core beliefs of whiteness is their exceptionalism. It’s the belief in an ideal kind of fictional man that most of them never even strive to be. While that’s what they’re told, what they are taught and see every day is toxic masculinity. And in that way that author had on two sets of blinders. He can’t see…

I don’t think Lana DelRay is as complex as she thinks she is.

It’s not just that he’s white. White people sneer at, mock, ostracize, and generally hate on other white people all the time. It’s that he DELIVERS RACISM and THAT is the priority to his base. This is what gets me when writers and thinkers wring their hands in befuddlement, like Nichols is doing, about how Trump’s…
