Yo, homie. The term “Becky” is from the Sir Mix A Lot video. When I was school aged, it was “white girl” or any generic white girl name, “Ashley” or “Muffie” if she’s higher class. NONE of it meant “white bitch”. Sitchoassdown with that shit. Or go poll your undoubtedly numerous black female friends about the…

It’s fascinating, in a way: it’s like a whole bunch of folks eavesdropped on a conversation between black people and got schooled, then aghast, then flattered, then insulted, then confused, then outraged...within such a short timespan. Over such an innocuous term. “Oh my god, Becky!” is so played the fuck out! But…

I just starred like 100 of your comments, which is probably excessive. I’m just really impressed that you can keep your cool while debating semantics with a bunch of entitled (at best!) internet commenters. “It means white cunt.” Jesus Christ.

Someone called it a “slur” and I very, very carefully (with tongue firmly in cheek) conceded that they may find umbrage with a name that erased individuality, didn’t acknowledge a person’s humanity, yada yada....but concluded with my opinion that “Becky” is innocuous, for the most part. Reread my response. I…

Been there, heard that.

Iggy: you would not be down if i started calling all black men “deshawns”

She really didn't like it when Guilana touched her. She was shooting daggers.

Short answer: No.

Oh, absolutely, it’s so much worse! And not just because it’s manipulation, but because it completely undermines what feminism and a feminist is. It’s a huge reason why there’s so much skepticism about male feminists. It’s just another wedge driving us all apart and the fact that it’s happening in an attempt to get a…

See, I never saw her as perfect. She came across to me as kind of spoiled, willfully naive (especially for someone who supposedly read so much; can you really make all those literary and pop culture references without having soaked up a little awareness?), really self-involved (but so was Lorelai), and the various…

This. No Paris no watch

She is a fancy pants lawyer now. A murder lawyer. And has a very good haircut.

Kim and Kyle Richards haven’t seen the back end of 30 in years.

It would just be blank slides that you have to stare at until you breakdown in exhaustion/ art induced bliss.

My only takeaway from this is that I really, really want to see Maria Abramovic deliver a powerpoint presentation.

“I would never buy a piece of clothing for more than $20! I am morally superior!” [goes to buy $20 dress that could not be produced without the existence of really horrible working conditions both overseas and along the supply chain and that will almost certainly need to be trashed in a few washes]

So Taylor writing about her exes is demeaning but when men do it? *crickets*

Harris also “reportedly told Tay that he thinks she ‘demeans herself’ as a singer by writing such whiny lyrics.”
