but:

that's a great point of which i was not aware. i kind of wish we'd hear her say something to that effect though. regardless, that is something i failed to consider.

ahem, 'the mrs. carter tour'? doesn't that resolve this debate on its own. she feels the need to identify HER tour with her HUSBAND's name who is NOT participating in said tour.

fuck yeah, jim deregotis! chicago music journalism at it's finest. listen to the podcast of sound opinions with him and gregg kot or listen to it sunday mornings on 91.5 if you're in the area. two of the smartest voices in music journalism.

do you find using miley cyrus and lily allen as metrics for female empowerment problematic? making miley put on more clothing or making lily allen be less racist is not going contribute to a more equal society. they're musicians. they're allowed creative license, and you're allowed to find their art distasteful,…

ya know, there are paintings/photographs that are much more sexually explicit than anything miley's ever done and sell for millions, yet no one bashes those artists for capitalizing on sex. sure miley is a pop star, but she's also a musician and artist. she has creative license. she even has the right to make money…

Wow. No it didn't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Fie… She made that speech in 1984. Really killed her career...

well it's shit for men too, and if you think male celebrities don't get their fair share of shit in the media, you're kidding yourself. watch TMZ for like five seconds.

are you talking about when she said 'god damn' in an acceptance speech at the emmy's in 2007? was the series she started in from 06'-'11 not enough of a career for her after that? she also hadn't exactly been working that much before, so i don't think that's a very good example.

You realize that the shit-talk about Anne Hathaway and Beyonce comes from women predominantly, yes? Try googling the internet.

wow. if there had been no backlash about any of the things you just mentioned, you probably wouldn't know about it would you?

yeah christian bale, alec baldwin, russel crowe, so on and so forth. none of them have ever been criticized by the media at all ever.

well the catholic church teaches that the life of the mother comes first during medical emergencies, so either this particular hospital is not aware of that, or the medical decision making in this instance was more complex.

First of all I'm not sure when this 'right to exist' argument became so popular on internet forums. I do not challenge your right to exist. Second, I think you missed my point. If all you're doing is taking yet another picture of yourself, in your room, doing nothing, I'm going to perceive you as a person who just…

a scientific study, by definition, does not endorse or criticize its results. i know a lot of people are butthurt when science seems to explain their behavior, although i'm not sure why. i know you must be the exception to these patterns, because you're special or something. maybe don't read these studies if you…

nope. nope. nope. i am a straight man. all this shit makes me sick. do not take this site's word diarrhea as an accurate representation of hope straight men thing, no matter what you do.

uhh i think there must be a medium here between 'the only attractive women look like playboy bunnies' and 'let's accept every lifestyle as normal no matter what.' these women are clearly obese but seem fine with that. great. i don't see the harm in pointing out the danger of making this the definition of 'normal'…

great call. i think selfies are sort of an unfortunate pastime for men and women. basically a selfie is just a way to say 'look at me', and if all you're doing at the time is making a duckface in your bathroom or flexing at your MacBook, that's a little sad. unless you're doing something of significance in your…

although i think it's wrong for someone to deny the seriousness or prevalence of rape this day and age, i still need someone to tell me what 'rape culture' really refers to. i think most people are opposed to rape and acknowledge it is a serious problem we face as a society. it's also against the law. the term…

this is just about a guy who you rejected and needed an excuse to save face. thinking you're somehow 'not allowed to be ugly' based on that experience is a huge stretch.
