sis said "world's ending, might as well end my career"

Royals came up on shuffle

finally someone said it! we need more attention on the systematic oppression that red-heads face. red hair lives matter

i can't wait for the year 2028 when Lana publicly announces herself the leader of some alt-right wing movement and we look back at this and wish we were living in these times

someone fill me in, i only started following lana in 2017. what did Lorde say about Lana?

I think she is trying to say: feminist and entertainment industry culture, for the last decade, has been all about women being powerful and strong but Lana doesn't always feel powerful or strong so people call her anti-feminist because she writes about being submissive people attack her for writing about her emotions and how she feels she is literally being attacked for who she is and how she feels. she only sees a space in feminism and the entertainment industry for women who are aggressive or assertive and who are confident in themselves and feel comfortable without wanting a man she doesn't feel like there is a place for her to talk about how she sometimes feels weak or just wants to fall in love or be doted over by a man. it's an example of how women are still expected to fit into a certain group. we were once forcibly labeled hysterical. they took away our power by assigning us as something we had no say in. but if a woman was to declare her messy emotions and impulses, if a woman wanted to sing about feeling like she needs a man or being in an abusive relationship Lana gets a ton of shit for it. it exposes that there isn't a place, or Lana hasn't found a place, that doesn't drag her for writing about being submissive or wanting to be in love. she feels like the press and general public are mean to her when she doesn't conform to what they want. it shouldn't be setting a bad example, because it is a true example of a women empowering herself by writing whatever the hell she wants to. writing is an empowering act especially when it's expressive. you can be feminist and you can be empowered even if you aren't happy with your body, in a good relationship, or don't feel powerful. tl;dr: you can be a feminist while wanting to be submissive. you can be a feminist who isn’t happy with life, your body, the relationship you're in, etc. you can be a feminist while embracing the feeling of being powerless and weak. you can be a feminist who cries over men. you can be a feminist who wants a fairytale romance with a man. you can be a feminist who wants to crawl in a corner and hide.

that's incredibly interesting hmmm

just saw my therapist two days ago though and have been seeing one for the past five years. now, because it seems like y'all aren't getting it... I agree with Lana. I work hard in my own life to create a space for people to feel empowered through their submission. I'm not going to say what I do specifically, but I work with a lot of people who are submissive and embarrassed and feel ashamed of it, especially when society is always yelling at them to be dominant and powerful. there IS power in choosing to be submissive. I have no problem with that. And I'm allowed to feel de-powered by someone else's words. She said things that made me feel kinda shameful honestly, and guess the fuck what? I'm allowed to feel that. And it's natural to feel shame. I'm allowed to feel affected by other people's words. It's okay for me to not want to jump up and down at this post. this is the third time in the past hour that someone has said that I shouldn't be feeling this way. why the fuck can't I? I explore and decipher the world using my experiences and my thoughts and feelings. that's the way i survive. so I really don't see why "i should stop projecting." I felt some type of way, it's okay for me to feel that type of way, Lana didn't purposely target anyone to feel this type of way, things just happen.

yes, yes yesyesyes!!!! i think this really means she's in a better place and she isn't letting hurtful people destroy her life

I'm a feminist and I can understand why Lana wouldn't want to associate herself with the movement, considering what is shown on social media is usually extreme-psuedo feminism or feminism hiding behind capitalism. i find that what she says is exactly what feminists are fighting for and i personally know a lot of people who talk about and post about the importance of a space for women like her. I actually follow an insta account that posts about the importance of submissive people and a lot of the memes have Lana on them. the memes are positive though and I think the owner just likes Lana in general but anyway, feminism isn't bad, but it is very misinterpreted by people and i think Lana doesn't consider herself a feminist because she hasn't yet found a place in the movement for people like her, but I can assure you, it is out there

obv people care, you can tell by the comments on here and under the post. the message is so so important, but the name dropping clouds it, and unfortunately her message is going to get lost because people are paying attention to other things.

i don't own any of her vinyls, which one was pink? it was the UV UO right?

baby pink vinyl please!

just so you know, red text is for mods only. embolden when you want to highlight someone's text. welcome, glad you're here!!!

not everyone follows the principle of charity, some people use their experiences, thoughts, and feelings to help them interpret the world around them.

exactly this. you can kinda see what it seems like she was aiming for, and that message isn't bad. but the beginning is too easy to be misinterpreted Just for the record, I believe her heart was 111000000% in the right place, and her message did overall have a positive impact on me. It's just that even if she didn't see herself as shaming others, it's something that some people, like me, will see and feel or we live in a culture where it is natural to misunderstand intentions...

hey, ultimately we don't know her intentions! so your opinion isn't any more valid than mine. and yes, if we want to really go into it, it can easily be perceived like she's shaming them. she knows she has a diverse audience with unique backgrounds, she could have easily wrote it in a way that wouldn't have people perceive it as subtle shaming you know what, I see where you;re coming from. I think you're right.

doesn't mean she can't shame others for doing the same k, i'm incredibly confident and secure with myself. i'm still allowed to feel shamed by others words. i'm still allowed to have emotional reactions to others actions.

I'm using my own feelings and thoughts towards it, yeah.

it's not about reading comprehension. sis said it in a way that sounds like she's saying that singing about fucking and cheating and being naked are somehow worse than what she is talking about

in my opinion, it sounds like she's saying, "they sing about this bad stuff so I should be able to sing about other bad stuff too"

I feel like some of you aren't understanding that she could have done this without name-dropping and shaming female artists of color. She says "wearing no clothes, fucking" like their negative things. That's at least how I perceived it. As someone who is becoming a sex worker, hearing her say those things was a real punch to my self-esteem, especially coming from my favorite artist. I don't want to feel shamed and I know I'm not the only one who felt shamed and de-powered.

Lana did scrutinize them though

the photo with Antonoff...so LDR7 is being produced by him? OH AND IT'S CONFIRMED LEMONS

They say I'm too young to love you They say I'm too dumb to sing They judge me like a picture book By the colors, like they forgot to read vs But I've been better lately 'ma And I'm in love with everyone And I don't want to think I'm wrong Just for feeling pretty
