I'm getting really tired of men. Like seriously tired of mansplaining and why doesn't anyone care about the man's feelings. Dude, STFU
( Read more... )
I don't keep up with entertainment news, so out of curiosity I went to the link you left and read what happened... And if I'm understanding this right, what happened was Kings of Leon refused to let Glee use their music, at which point the creator of Glee got butt-hurt and publicly called them out, calling them assholes, accusing them of striking out against arts education, and telling them to go fuck themselves? Because that makes him look like a self-entitled douchebag. Personally, I hate Glee and think it has ruined most music it touched, and while I know there are tons of people out there who don't either, and tons of people who really do, it's a personal opinion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kings of Leon not wanting to get involved. It doesn't make them assholes, or against music education, it is their music and their right, and I would probably feel uncomfortable anyone remixing my songs if I was a musician too, for which I would not expect to be drugged through the mud

Yeah, basically, the creator of Glee got all butt hurt and then Followill thought it would be a lark to insult him using female-centric insults. There were plenty of other insults he could've used that didn't require misogynistic statements. "Talentless hack living pipedreams through others that actually have talent" wouldn't have been insulting to women or gays.
I don't watch Glee but I also won't be buying Kings of Leon, either. There's no need to insult a large part of your audience by deriding them.
And what I especially don't need to see is a bunch of men telling women to get a sense of humor about the insults and that he didn't mean anything bad by it. Besides, why is it insulting to women that men don't want to throw like girls? They shouldn't want to throw like girls! Nevermind the implication that throwing like a girl, crying like a girl is always a bad awful evil thing that no one should ever want to be.
I'm pro-choice because, like you, I believe in a woman's right to do as she will with her own body. I personally wouldn't get one unless my life was in grave danger or I'd somehow ended up pregnant when I was way too young to provide properly for a child, but I don't begrudge other women who get them. (Unless, of course, they like to get them as a form of birth control, which I totally disagree with.)
Yep. Forget rohypnol. That ain't rape cause it ain't by physical force!
And yeah - if I was in danger or if the child wasn't going to live, I would probably make that tough choice. But it's not my place to insert my own morality on other women. In the end, they're the ones that have to make peace with that decision.
Maybe we could take a bit of the money used to research male pattern baldness and erectile dysfunction and put it into creating artificial wombs. But then the menfolk and holier than thou folk wouldn't be able to lecture those loose wimmens on how they're evil, immoral WHORES.
Bahhhhhh. *pissed* The abortion thing makes me particularly angry, because that's a topic I feel very, very strongly about. I use two methods of birth control religiously because I really don't want kids, but if somehow both those methods failed, you can bet I'd want that option as a last resort. Every other woman should have that option too, especially if there were any doubt whatsoever about her ability to consent. *fists of rage*
<3 It really really annoys me that this is the priority for the Republicans, especially. They get elected because of the promise to downsize government and create jobs - so how does this become a priority? This doesn't create jobs.
Then again, the CBO has also said that eliminating the Health Care Reform Act would stifle jobs creation too so I guess I shouldn't expect much brains out of the Right.
It's all just victim blaming and limiting the decisions that women can make for themselves. It's like they're so afraid that women might make informed decisions on their own without male-input that they've decided to limit it, legally, instead. The list of women that can't get the care they're legally allowed is ridiculous.
