There was nothing racist in what I said. I’m simply pointing out that there is an alarming habit on Jezebel of commentators dismissing women who are White because they were attacked in some manner or another by a Black man as being racist. No. Just no. It’s quite possible for men (who happen to be Black) to attack…

“She is incredibly hard to believe” is what police say about a lot of rape victims. I’m not seeing how she is hard to believe? What about her makes her hard to believe?

Oh, please. The only reason Taylor didn’t press charges was a technicality in the law (Kim recording it instead of Kanye). If Kanye had recorded the conversation Taylor would have had every right to press charges for releasing it AS IT’S WRITTEN IN THE LAW THAT’S ILLEGAL.

Exactly. Teen Vogue knows teens need to be informed and therefore dispenses what they know teens need under the guise of what teens say they WANT. Basic marketing.

The comments on this article show that even “feminists” still have a lot of work they need to do to learn the meaning of consent, to not victim blame, and to dismantle rape culture. In the rush to appear like intersectional feminists and “Becky” blaming the Black Man, commenters (and this article for not thoroughly…

You know that whole “Caucasian” descriptor of white people? Caucasian as in from the Caucasus region? Yeah...Armenia is in the Caucasus region. Ergo, Armenians (KK is Armenian by way of her father) are quite literally Caucasians. KK can’t even say that BS a lot of white people say about “I’m not Caucasian! I’m not…

Ditto. This is such a relief to read! Every time I’ve given this EXACT reason why I’m so selective, I’m met with “you’re weird.” So it’s nice not to be the only one thinking like this (maybe it still makes us weird, but whatever).

I’m not caping for her; I’m just being more nuanced in my take on the situation. I’ve explicitly said in other comments that she misconstrued a lot. And at the start of the initial comment said none of us REALLY know what went down. Cause editing and other (non-recorded) conversations could’ve taken place. If there’s…

Cute. I said “transplant” or did you miss that part? She spent her teen years in the South. In fact, Taylor moved to the south at the same age as one of my best friends who moved from Illinois to North Carolina at 14 and my best friend is more southern than I, who had spent 14 more years in the south than she did. So,…

KK is soooo white. So so so white. I mean, a lot of white people like to say “I’m not Caucasian cause I’m not from Caucasus” or some other bullshit. KK is mutt-white (mama) and Armenia (pops) and Armenia is literally a part of the Caucasus region. So, KK is quite literally Caucasian in all the ways.

For sure, she totally misconstrued what occurred, but still didn’t know about the “bitch” part. That word really does make a difference. Her mistake was thinking that she could misconstrue what happened. That IS bad.

To be fair, if you pay attention to many romantic movies like Kiera Knightley’s Pride and Prejudice (well, it’s true for all iterations of P&P), the lead couple spend hardly enough time together to justify them falling in love and getting married. My mind is blanking on TV shows, but a lot of shows that aren’t…

I think the line about him calling her and joke’s on you is what’s getting people, as you said.

IDK what is REALLY going on with this whole thing (like NONE OF US DO), but my take after listening to the snaps and reading the transcript: edited conversation and TS was clearly uncomfortable with the conversation. But she’s a southerner (transplant, but still) and I picked up on a LOT of the southern politeness…

Hahaha please tell me you really didn’t know it’s a movie!!! I love that you guessed that they were reading 50 Shades, cause the movie Book Club is about them reading 50 Shades and having their lives changed from it.

I read your link and, probably because it’s way too early, it looked like word salad to me (no offense).

It’s like you totally missed the part where he was preying on young women and using his positions of power to bed them.

Yikes. It’s not the cheating, it’s how he is BLAMING the women he cheats with for not being able to keep it in his pants. Like own your own choices, Whedon.

But are you blaming the people you’re cheating with for being “needy and aggressive”? Cause there was a qualifier to elviracat’s statement.

Why are you apologizing? (S)he demeaned the wife by saying writing her thoughts in public is equivalent to being a 14 yr old. You pointed out the ridiculousness of putting the onus on the cheated on person for keeping their mouth shut, which is at least tangentially the same thing as calling a grown ass woman 14 for…
