Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth calls out Jezebel

Go, Thurston! My man hit it right on the head. I've been saying this for a while.. The problem isn't so much "feminism".. It's the lack of class, destruction of language, attention whoring, and obesity / bad health that are the important issues.

I also like how he added "when they grow up" because that's a personal favorite attack of those flabby bitches.

This is awesome. I love Sonic Youth, but always figured they had the usual lefty musician politics.

I hung out with Thurston Moore in Austin in 2002 for like an hour or so. I still have a signed book of poetry that he gave me called, "Fuck a hippy, be a punk" or something like that. I'm a huge fan of Sonic Youth and he was a really genuinely nice guy. It was at Stubb's BBQ if I remember correctly. I still wear the "Confusion is Sex" shirt I got at that concert all the time.
Awesome to see him call out Jezebel. Sonic Youth fucking rocks.

J r this isn't about being left or conservative. Anyone with good intelligence can see how stupid all of that stuff is, regardless of what your political leaning.

Douchebag.* I posted a supportive comment, too.

facebook will automatically delete content if it's reported by enough people.

My post; "I see a lot of manginas in the comments here" lasted about 1 minute I think.

Man do celebreties take it on the chin when they depart from the blue-pill code of acceptable conduct.

Been a fan of theirs forever and seen them a bunch. love Washing Machine, still have to listen to it regularly. Most of these liberal guys dont really acknowledge the dark side until it wrecks their earning potential.

it's disappointing that the post was taken down. either way, the fact that thurston spoke out in this way feels significant to me. sonic youth (and thurston by association) has always been considered very female-friendly, and not just because of his ex-wife kim gordon. for him to allude to something like "love is complex" in defense of his infidelity, which is a typical feminine response, in order to combat criticism from a female-oriented publication, is to criticize women for criticizing men in the way that women have traditionally criticized men for criticizing women.
also his comment was dead on. I'm not saying cheating is good behavior, but in general, when a husband cheats, and jezebel frames it into their "men are stupid and horrible" narrative, they absolve the wife from her half of the problem. was kim gordon always faithful? was she a supportive, loving wife? did they naturally grow apart? if we want to move our culture in a positive direction, these questions matter. or ideally jezebel would act like adults and not be involved in the details of other people's marriages.
