Your daily dose of misogynistic WTF brought to you by….the ever so reputable BBC!
…tweet has since been deleted and followed up with this “apology”:
“Apologies, it appears something is up with our feed. Thanks to those who pointed it out to us.”
Yeah, thanks to those who pointed out that that message was a blatant approval of domestic violence.

Caitlin Moran (in this interview) Caitlin Moran, I used to love you. Even though you are the textbook example of a cissexist, heterocentrist, WOC experience erasing funfem, I liked your writing and your humour. But honestly, stop it. Stop making me hate you with your rape jokes and your poorly thought out shaming of other women and your policing and your absolute inability to grasp that feminism isn’t just for middle-class white cis straight women. Rihanna has made clear multiple times that she doesn’t give a single flying fuck what other people think. She does not need your pity, because she dresses the way she wants to and doesn’t give a fuck whether other people think she’s sexy or hot or dressed appropriately or classy. (via lunaste) |

WHO RUN THE WORLD? Ahh, never mind.
Subi chats about feminism and music and how it’s okay to like problematic things. Also, musicians are people too, they mess up sometimes.
Sorry the video is so long, I just have a lot of Rihanna and Beyonce feelings!

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Between allegedly inviting him to her birthday party, and probably collaborating with him on a “Birthday Cake” remix, and irrefutably thanking him for wishing her a happy birthday, I think it may be high time Rihanna re-read the police report from the night Chris Brown beat her half to death.
Particularly this part:
Brown did not know what she did with the [car] key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.’s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.
She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her.
You nearly died that night, Rihanna. You nearly died that night.
“I’m going to beat the sh*t out of you when we get home,” he promised. You attempted to call for help and that just made him angrier. “Now I’m really going to kill you,” he vowed.
Any of this ringing a bell? Because I’ll never forget that night. I’ll never forget the horrific photos. I’ll never forget reading the terrifying police report.
And I’ll never forgive you for forgiving him.

dailywhat how about you shut the fuck up with this victim blaming bullshit
you’ll never forgive her for forgiving him? fuck you! this is not about you. do you have any idea the kind of pressure that has probably been placed on her to forgive him? her friends? family? management? label? fans? antis? for every person telling her to be ~strong~ and not forgive him, i bet you there were at least 2 people telling her to get the fuck over it and act like it’s water under the bridge
and maybe she came to this conclusion on her own, we never know. maybe she wants to put this behind her. maybe she forgave him. forgiveness is a very personal thing. her forgiveness has nothing to do with you. her forgiving chris brown does not mean anyone else has to forgive their abuser.
fuck y’all seriously this is some bullshit. you think she doesn’t remember getting the shit kicked out of her? she doesn’t need the pictures to remind her because she fucking lived through it AND IF YOU ACTUALLY GAVE A SHIT ABOUT HER YOU’D STOP POSTING THE FUCKING PHOTOS BECAUSE THEY WERE ILLEGALLY SOLD WITHOUT RIHANNA’S CONSENT](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzpp86X1Ai1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
