Whore is a misogynistic word, it's a derogatory hate word used only to the female gender although there are plenty of male whores the term for that only exist in the urban dictionary whereas whore has always been specifically attributed to women. Just saying

Hopefully it's just the shitty quality, but I'm just not quite as excited by these snippets as the first ones.
MPG should play when suckers people buy that overpriced box set from her web site. Alleluia! I want to take you for all that you got. Alleluia!
C'mon guys, Lana's not being anti-feminist with the word "whore". Maybe she's just a big GOT fan.

Can people please stop being so rude? Did I offend you in any way? No, I didn't, I simply stated my opinion and if you don't agree with it, you may tell me politely or you may not tell me at all. Also, what's wrong with being politically correct? Why make it sound like an insult towards me? Or did you just want to be sassy because you were bored? Jesus Christ, get a life.

yes. they. are.
both are discriminatory against other individuals. both criticise people for natural things. the fact that people don't react to words like whore and slut just show how deeply ingrained misogynistic sentiments are in our society.
i don't really wanna continue this debate for much longer because we're already well off topic, so let's just all agree to disagree for now.

how many times do i have to say this?!?!?!?!
SEXISM
IS
JUST
AS
BAD
AS
RACISM
discriminating against someone for their gender is just as bad as discriminating for against someone for their colour. slut, whore and slag are just as harmful as :), faggot and retard.

it is just as discriminatory as a racist or homophobic word. i literally don't know how many times i have to say this; sexism is just as serious a problem as racism, homophobia, ableism and all other forms of discrimination in the world.
and i'm sorry, but how often are men repeatedly oppressed and objectified in the media? how often is a man chastised for sleeping around? how often is a man sexualised as an object? how often is a man's sexuality repeatedly described as something sinful or shameful?

are you really trying to compare a loaded fucking word like "whore" - which is used to humiliate, dehumanize, shame ETC ETC ETC women for having sex/doing anything in sexual nature to ...calling a dude a wanker? which means what exactly? i have never heard anyone call a dude a wanker before in my life. know how many times i've heard men call women whores - for doing pretty much anything, from wearing short dresses to flirting at a party to having consentual sex?
give me a break.

there is no doubt that slut shaming was not her intention, but it's important that she gets called out on this shit - mainly so women in general stop calling other fucking women whores? where do you think that comes from? what kind of message do you think that perpetuates? if i call someone the N word but i'm not, you know, really meaning to use that word in the context of its history, does this somehow mean it's cool? no. for someone like lana, who has dramatized herself as a stripper, alluded to several sexual obsessions, has lyrics like "i was an angel looking to get fucked hard" and preaches this idea of ultimate freedom for women, you think she would be a little more wise and have a little more understanding about the history of that word and what kind of message it sends. it reminds me of childish brats in high school calling other girls whores and sluts. it was "harmless" name calling but it got a pretty strong idea across. and women's sexuality is still a HUGE issue, so like.... why so many people here seem to want to excuse this is kinda beyond me. i get that you love lana, i do, too, but that doesn't mean you should turn a blind eye to bullshit.

this 'stick-my-head-in-the-sand' mentality does not work in the slightest.
what do you mean?

one woman or all women, it doesn't matter; lana is still perpetuating misogynistic views by criticising other women for sleeping around. posing as a prostitute doesn't make her forgivable - if someone preaches racist views yet does charity work, does this absolve them of this hate?

What did I expect? I expected an at least semi-creative way of shutting someone down, without having to resort to slut shaming. Can't she come up with a better way to "diss" someone without degrading them to a term used to humiliate, shame and dehumanize women for liking, wanting & enjoying fucking like men?
-

yeah but what she is doing is celebrating misogynistic attitudes, which is just as bad as racism or homophobia. she's encouraging the anti-feminist sentiment in our society that a woman who sleeps around is 'shameful'.

Nah, women calling other women whores as an insult is absolutely ridiculous - especially when Lana gives some half-assed response about her idea of femimism being ~a woman being able to be completely free~.

It's immature and embarrassing tbh. Everyone's gonna talk about that song and not because it's so very well composed, no because it's a diss song.

FMWUTTT has been totally ruined for me when she started slut shaming. I'm really disappointed.

I think the same that's why I hate listening to/reading her interviews, like I just listened to that one and she admits she signed to universal before video games and she made this massive fuss back then that she was signed after cause she wanted to look indie. Your poor brother that's a nightmare like 10 years!! I get it with Kurt suffering for 6 yrs cause it was 25 years ago and the specialists were probably shit but now they are more knowledgable and advanced. Glad your brother got sorted in the end, we have it in our family and crohn's. I'll never forget my endoscopy I got offered to be sedated or just have throat anaesthetic I went for that cause I thought if I was awake they would be more gentle, they rammed a tube like an inch thick down my throat into my gut and I couldn't stop retching and belching like massive barfs, blargh bleeegh bleagh they were so loud and I couldn't stop and it was like funny and disturbing at the same time. I kind of got historical laughter but couldn't really laugh cause I was in pain, then water just started streaming out my eyes like so much water and then my nose got so snotty I couldn't breath anymore cause there's the giant tube down my throat and the dr's like are you alright! I couldn't say anything cause of the fuck off giant camera tube inside and just belched and retched some more. He said my gut lining looked really red and inflamed and he was going to take a sample for biopsy so he feeds another tube down the big one and I actually feel him pulling bits of my gut out with this thing, it felt so wrong and all the time I'm blleaahh bleeegh. Seriously if anyone has to have this procedure take the sedative and get knocked out it was too fucking freaky I'm still scarred, seriously it was like an alien autopsy, I got treated really quick though in about a year and my sister they sorted her out real quick in a few months she was really bad, we just both have ultra sensitive guts and allergic/intolerant to most food, basically a really shit immune and digestive system.

I am chilled dude, so many ultra-sensitive posts, I'm just having a laugh.
Not sure about a Lana compulsive lying thread, tbh it would be really messy and quite boring after a while.

To be honest, I have a theory that Lana is a compulsive liar and that she can't help it lol She might have stage fright which manifests itself as stomach upset which probably just compounds itself because who wants to perform when they feel like they're going to simultaneously vomit and shit their pants? No one.
My brother suffered from practically the same thing growing up (right down to getting nervous before plane rides enough to vomit non stop during, I've even had him puke in my lap, twice lol) and it came down to his nerves and having a nervous stomach. Practically everything made him nervous growing up, even going to see a movie would get him worked up enough that he would throw up in the theatre. It was like he was scared of throwing up from being nervous, so he'd throw up because he was nervous about throwing up. A self fulfilling prophecy or negative feedback loop, whatever you want to call it.
Doctors put him on antidepressants from a young age and just now at 21 he's finally starting to feel like a normal person. He's pretty skinny but he manages to eat normally now. Lana says she eats a lot of spaghetti and only that which sounds a lot like my brother who would only eat cheese and pickle sandwiches growing up, even if we were at a fancy restaurant, my mom would pack him one in a ziploc. I don't know, it all sounds very familiar to me, and I could see it going either way. We know Lana is notorious for making shit up or being extremely hyperbolic with her anecdotes, but at the same time, the symptoms she describes sounds so familiar to me as someone who watched a loved one suffer for so many years. Who knows really? Only Lana, I suppose. Part of me wants to believe her and the other part thinks "Yeah right", but I guess we'll never really know.
As for the three year diagnosis thing, my brother was getting all sorts of tests done from the time he was 5 until he was about 15. He was in and out of the hospital constantly getting tested on because they thought he was showing signs of ulcers and they even diagnosed it as ulcers for a short period of time before they realised it was because of anxiety that his stomach was acting up. So a long diagnosis is possible and "ulcers" might be the best the answer they can give her right now.
I do think Lana has some psychological issues though and she might actually believe she suffers from the same thing as Kurt as a form of idolatry, when all it could be is the power of suggestion and a bad case of stage fright. Kinda like when you have a headache and you google your symptoms and "cancer" comes up so you automatically believe you have a brain tumour instead of, I don't know, being dehydrated or something.
