See, this is what I hate about celebrity and sites like Jezebel sometimes.

I just read this on Twitter, and think it does such a good job of explaining the line that so many privileged people (self included) often blur:

"I never felt privileged; I worked hard for each reward I got. But I see now: being in a position to work hard & get rewards IS a privilege."

"I'm a male white comedian, and obviously I succeeded only because I'm super duper funny. I have to believe that if others do not succeed it's only because they are not funny, because otherwise it means I have to think less of myself and my ego feels hurt. To me, the possibility of changing and engaging in creating…

To be fair, pop culture is very bad at portraying honest expressions of heterosexual male sexuality. I do not want to come off as an MRA here, because I most certainly am -not-. I understand that heteromen are better represented then any other group, but that doesn't make the representation, you know, good, or…

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I own one Madonna album. I'm not that big of a fan, but the way people talk about her is the most unwarranted, spiteful bullshit I have ever seen.

Helen Mirren dresses how anyone would expect a woman of her age to dress. Madonna's cardinal sin seems to be that she hasn't changed how she's dressed as she's gotten older. Also, to say that she's trying to appear like a teenager makes no sense as both at the Grammys and here she's very covered up, and certainly not…

No, I don't think that she is perpetuating that idea. I think society is perpetuating the idea that only young people can act "young" and old people are allowed to act "old." Case in point? Literally every single comment on this thread.
I've been arguing with people about this since the early 00's, when everyone…

This is how you know it's ageism: Pretend Madonna is 20. How do you feel about it? Pretend Madonna is 30. Do you feel the same? Pretend Madonna is 40. Do you feel the same? No, you don't. It's ageism.

Dear everyone that has been giving me shit and telling me the criticisms lodged against Madonna are NOT about her age:

I present EXHIBIT A. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh, you are so cute. Thinking we really really need defending from the problems you caused! Imperialism for the win!

Yeah, I'm sure Sweden would be in soooooo much danger without the big strong US to save them...

Precisely!

LIES!

Are...are you implying that Bernie Ecclestone is capable of feeling embarrassment?

“Money can’t buy a record deal," she says.

This sounds way the fuck more fun than Leaning In.

I just have this amazing image of a Jez reader dropping her panties, lifting spread legs in the air, and waving her vagina in front of her computer screen emblazoned with the image of Mark Ruffalo.

What does "slutting out" over a guy mean? I'd like to learn more about this so I can do it properly the next time I meet a guy I agree with.

That's a fair point; however, as a former field reporter myself, morons upstairs always want you to ask stupid questions. Sometimes you have to put your foot down and say no and this should have been one of those times.
