Can we stop calling this a “prank”? Because it’s not a prank, any more than running up to someone and kicking them in the nuts is a prank. It’s being an asshole.

Armchair diagnosis is dumb on like a dozen different levels I could name without taking a beat, but what I find most interesting is how quick people jumped to mental illness here when sometimes people are just egotistical assholes (I guess that’s a reflection of the destigmatization of discussing mental illness, if…

So that’s where $60 million came from. They weren’t exactly honest when they told the judge they’d invested $60 million in Kesha when it was actually $11 million. But they may have made that investment of $60 million solely because they thought Kesha would be a massive moneymaker who would have kept the label in the…

That’s a very stupid and distinctly male thought to deploy as the final note of a piece of reporting on a pop star alleging sexual abuse against the most powerful pop producer in America.

Is this the same $60 million that Sony keeps claiming they invested specifically in Kesha? Because it sure doesn’t sound like that money was invested specifically in Kesha.

The final line of this is chilling, on the point about money though, at this point it is costing Sony and Dr Luke an extreme amount to hang on to her, they honestly should let her go. The PR disaster alone isn’t worth continuing.

I want to put a catheter full of fire ants up his pee hole.

Well, maybe Kelly Clarkston would have nicer things to say about him if she had gotten a cut of the money on the song she hated.

You will get piled on, but I agree. I didn’t see anything shocking about her assessment that young women tend to more subservient to men. Like...that’s how it goes. It takes some time to even notice the sexism in our world. You have to work awhile before you feel it. Have a couple crap relationships before it clicks.…

I’m gonna get so much shit for saying this but studies like this only reinforce my belief that GloStein’s comments about Bernie supporters was a bit on-the-nose. Young women are taught to keep their voices pleasant (no fighting tones, no vocal fry); they internalize their under-representation by keeping their voices…

I can only speak to my experience obviously, but this shit doesn’t stop in undergrad. I was really good in law school. Like, really good. I studied my ass off and thrived on the socratic method so I always knocked answers out of the park. During the first semester, more than one female friend told me they overheard…

After TAing more than a dozen classes, I wish I could say I was even a little bit surprised by this. Moderately prepared male students speak up more than the highest-achieving female students, and then other students assume they must know what they’re talking about or they wouldn’t volunteer so much. Exceptions…

It sounds crazy, but sometimes I wish they had voluntary debtor’s prison. I am fairly certain I would spend 6 months to a year in jail to wipe out my 6 figure law school debt.

Right? If this guy can be arrested over $1500, I better keep an eye out for roaming firing squads.

Me to! And Can you even imagine the education $1500 would have bought you in 1987. I bet he got an associates degree out of that. Today you couldn’t even pay for one semester at a low rent community college with that.

Fucking debtors’ prison, fucking christ. This story is horrifying.

Holy shit, $1500. That’s nothing. Absolutely nothing. If I only had $1500 in student loan debt right now, I’d be dancing naked in the street.

I bet it cost more than 1500 dollars to deploy seven U.S. Marshalls. for an hour or two.

Exactly what I was thinking. Personal feelings about TSwift aside, how is a woman asserting herself and taking (deserved) credit for her own accomplishments something to mock or deem “insufferable”?

I have a hard time on a feminist blog finding a way to be anything but Team Taylor on this one. She may have an incredibly planned public persona and is annoyingly twee (can we PLEASE retire #squadgoals forever ??), but Kanye is the literal worst.
