For her to have some say who is in charge of her conservatorship at this point.  I also think you are pretty blithely ignoring the way media and the music industry treated women just because it all looks like it worked out in the end for her.

Am I to understand that Justin Timberlake’s teen hair was a 1st degree perm - meaning intentional perming that is willful and premeditated with malice aforethought?

Did you mean “flagrantly profiting” instead of “fragrantly profiting”? 

AOC was completely on point with clapping back at Cruz. He’s a POS and she (and anyone for that matter) shouldn’t have to deal with his bullshit.

An age-old stereotype that has only unfortunately developed strength thanks to Trump’s shit-stain of a presidency.

Cruz: Can we work together?

I know this article is about how the left is, at times, comically critical of people who are their allies and how the left eat their own regularly. Women in leftist spaces are still subject to misogyny.

I guess I’m old school. Because I have never been able to get enough of Missy Elliott. She’s kind of mysterious and her talent is so deep.

To be fair, very few Jez commentators have a problem with her sex work.

I was like, on top of all that, didn’t she throw some kind of pandemic party? And then, the first hit (is a VF article from mid-Dec.) is actually headlined: Cardi B and Offset Throw Their Fourth Huge, Maskless Party of the Pandemic.

Watching the backflips people do over her drama with her spouse (ex-spouse? Who can keep up), her robbing people she accepted payment for services from, watching people try to convince the world that her buying dozens of designer bags isn’t gauche AF, and still seeing outlets like Jezebel bend over backwards to paint…

Goddamn it, when is Jezebel going to stop stanning for this transphobe?

Invasion of Privacy was the best rap debut in years and belongs in the canon along with {snip} Miseducation.

I miss Salt n’ Pepa. I’m old. 

Were talking positive about the woman that openly drugged men right? Just want to be sure this is that person before I judge the celebration of her.

this is like someone waking up in the morning thinking... “I’m gonna write a think piece about Halsey!”

Agree. One thing I’m always amazed by is how the standards set by white men are derided (and justifiably so) until a WOC (or whomever) emulates them and then it is great.

Hmmmmm ...

He’s also a really intelligent man, going by interviews. I still remember being impressed by the essay he wrote in Rolling Stone after the Columbine shooting, since all I knew about him before that was his shock rocker performance persona.

Using self-harm and suicidal gestures to control victims is the part of domestic violence that will never cease to infuriate me. It’s an incredibly effective form of control and has the fringe benefit of adding stigma to people who struggle with self-harm and suicidality but aren’t abusers.
