Jason Mraz, and the new James Blunt song is the worst thing that has ever been created on the face of the earth.
Well, part of the thing is, like, what's the difference between censorship and social responsibility? I sometimes find that the whole censorship argument is used as a way for people to avoid the fact that they're like...
Think of something that you can do as opposed to all the things you can't do - and do that.
Feminism is something you do. It's a verb. It's what you are. It's an activity; it's something you're actively engaged in.
You learn that the only way to get rock-star power as a girl is to be a groupie and bare your breasts and get chosen for the night. We learn that the only way to get anywhere is through men. And it's a lie.
