No kidding! Feminism is about allowing women not to be perfect and still be seen as okay people--I mean, seriously, since when are women the people carrying all the responsibility for the patriarchy? Uh, since always, but you know what I mean.
I emailed The Like because, yeah, not on, but I can't even tell you how much I'm not fine with their one problematic interview being universally condemned (and seen as the evidence that they have forever failed as feminists) when EVERY SINGLE OTHER BANDOM BAND except, like, Empires and THS, have done something similar (or worse) in a song or an interview, but no one talked about those. Because they're boys and we can't possibly expect them to get it. I mean, okay, I did just tell you--that's the post--but dear god, if we're going to have an actual discussion about sexism in the scene we can't look the other way when the boys do it and pounce when the girls do. It just doesn't work that way.
