I used to define feminism as the idea that women are equal to men, but then you get the BS about how women are 'equal but different' and therefore should have different expectations.
Aaaand fuck. I used to really like Kevin Hart. I still really like football.
Interesting that your POV doesn't include rape victims who are raped by other men. THAT demographic is swept so far under the carpet their stories hardly see the light of day compared to the usual male/female rape stories. Those people are as victimized as any rape victim, but other than the catholic church and…
Indeed. Though I can't help but chuckle a good-hearted, still supportive chuckle as I think "And your solution was to construct an enormous screaming vagina in a prison?"
The screams were scary, but the laughs and hanging knives were more frightening than the screams.
I first knew I was gay (without knowing what that was) when I first saw this when I was four.
Yes please. This reminds me of some of the backlash for Orange is the New Black. "Yeah it's great that we have all these well drawn women of color, but the white girl is still the main protagonist so it's not perfect and therefore should be shat upon."
The song starts with the lyrics "When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay" and goes on to tell his story and perception of "gayness". So I don't think Macklemore was attempting to make a "gay anthem" or speak for the LGBT community. The fact that the song became a hit and resonated with people speaks to…
Everything is about Macklemore and my feelings.
I agree. It certainly doesn't seem like Macklemore is claiming he's the first person to support LGBT rights, or the first rapper, or that he's MLK. He wrote a song that suggests that gay people are people. That seems like a good thing, and to criticize him because other people are making more of the song than he…
Like, for example, giving Mary Lambert, an actual gay person who co-wrote "Same Love" and did the vocals, the same amount of credit as Macklemore?
Now why shit all over Macklemore for no goddamn reason? The person who made the ignorant comment comparing him to Dr. King? Sure! But Macklemore didn't do a damn thing to you or anybody else.
Why is there not something inherent in statutory rape laws that makes it a fireable offense for anyone (particularly a judge) to base their verdict on an estimation of the victim "acting older" than her age? The mere consideration of such an argument seems to completely undermine the protection that statutory rapes…
It's possibly because I'm old but the VMAs were a big bag of 'meh'. I'm not scandalized - I'm nonplussed. People with (mostly) minimal talent being 'outrageous'.
This is the only Riff Raff that we need to talk about. (aka I am old)
No. I nearly cried when I found out Elisabeth Moss is a Scientologist. I want to love her! BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T! :(
All else is commentary!
