things that make me rage a bit

Does anyone else fly into a rage when they see comments like this from female celebrities saying they are not feminists because of [insert reason that makes no sense] here?

Like, to the point that you can't listen to their music or watch them on screen again because it makes you feel a little sick?

And not in a million years would I have guessed that Taylor Swift would be SO smart and well spoken. I'm glad that she is using her power for good. I will be deleting all of these other women from my life and adding more Taylor Swift because she is not just entertaining me but fighting for me too!

I get more depressed and disappointed, but it does affect my ability to appreciate their work, which then makes me MORE depressed and sad because DAMNIT I REALLY LIKED THIS SONG AND NOW IT'S RUINED BY DUMBNESS.

Also because it means Rush Limbaugh won in his stupid asshole battle to make "feminist" a bad word, and I hate it when that gristly old walrus wins at anything.

I think the thing that makes it extra frustrating is when their songs are about empowerment and taking a stand but then they say "well, I'm not really into that". It's like DO YOU NOT LISTEN TO THE WORDS COMING OUT OF YOUR OWN MOUTH?

Ugh, Rush Limbaugh. Every time I see his stupid children's book series, with that "award winning" across the top, I gag.
