As do I, my closest friend is a girl. She moved out to California but we still talk on the phone or face time each other every day.
Don't care about gender or race, cause we are all the same species. We just evolved to fit our habitat.

Yes, of course I would. I not only want to sound good when I play, but I want to look good while doing it. Guitars can be beautiful just like men and women. Our sexuality is what drives many us. Sex and intimacy follow right behind our basic physical needs for comfort and safety (That's from Maslow). No study of anyone famous from our history is complete without diving into their sexuality; JFK, Capote, Hudson, Picasso, Churchill, Hitler, Jesus, Muhammad, etc... You can't ignore that aspect of a person and pretend to understand what made them who they were.

there is no doubt sexuality behind St Vincent's music and performances. Sexuality does not = sexism which is what we saw on the last page.

I mean actually the pics used in your post perfecrly illustrate the double standard. A guy plays naked or pretends his guitar is his dick and that's like just rock and roll man. A female player so much performs music on a stage and designs her own guitar and neanderthal guys are like "wow she is so pretty and she must be a lesbian because normal girls can't play guitar good hurr hurr"

Yeah, more fellatio than cunnilingus. Controversy.

I wasn't implying that at all.
I assumed she was a lesbian when I read an article about her dating that model and saw pictures of them together. I didn't know if she was Bi-sexual, hence the question mark.
I don't assume stereotypes like that at all. I know not everything is either black or white, but instead gray. Gotta look at life through neutral eyes to see both sides and understand them as best you can and understand where they are right and wrong.

Please excuse Nick. He's having one of his social justice warrior meltdowns again. :P

Who wouldn't want to be a warrior for social justice?

I find that phrase, when used as a putdown to be odd and stupid. It doesn't make sense.

What doog and jcyphe said. ^

What's wrong with social justice, or any other form of justice for that matter? I don't get it either. Every time I hear right-wing cocksockets throw around phrases like "social justice warrior," "liberal elite," "political correctness" or whatever, I just hear "I don't want anyone calling me out on being ignorant and selfish, because it hurts my fragile little ego."

For the record, I didn't look upon Corsair's posts to be worth worrying about. At worst, it was just a decent guy saying something that got misconstrued. No hard feelings as far as I'm concerned. :)

I think you can have a criticism about how productive or misplaced an activist's actions are, if you make a logical argument. But using the blanket term SJW is nothing more than dismissive language. It's language designed to demean the person for the purpose of discouraging them.

In the 50's and 60's they called whites who disliked segregation "nigger lovers". Then for most people that became a term you didn't say in polite society. Today it's SJW's and while it's not exactly the same thing, it is the same sentiment. Let's take people who care about justice, equality, and fairness and demean them and defame them because we don't care about these things or think everything is honky dory the way it is.

This is the name of my entirely caucasian David Bowie tribute act. It's exactly the same as any other Bowie tribute, except we won't do any material from Young Americans. Or that duet he did with Stevie Wonder.
