It's not that I don't think people should call out women, but I'm sick of reading about the various things that women have done wrong when there's not a similar level of discussion about men.
Oh my god, yes. That's basically the reason I wrote this post. The double standards infuriate me. A LOT. Especially because in MCR's case, it's been going on for a while, and the discussion has been virtually NONEXISTENT. I mean, even back when Frank was making domestic violence jokes on Twitter, no one was saying anything at all, or if they did, it was related to asshole!Frank which was of course a great joke. And Leathermouth's lyrics are funny. Or something.
(Dude, that is a can of worms that should be opened. I actually really agree--I think Z chose the WORST way to say it, but it's certainly a discussion that ought to be had. You're right--Gaga is a good example of that, whereas there are several examples of really uncomfortable ways that other women in music have been made to conform to certain images.)
