serious question: Can someone explain to me why we heap all of our racial/class diversity hopes and dreams only on white women and not on white men? Why do we vilify Lena Dunham and Diable Cody and not James Franco? Is it because white men are so privileged we don't expect anything from them, whereas we expect women…

I'm starting a new thread, because of the conversation in Howluckweare's thread, in which every person who is disagrees remains grey, even when their posts are recommended. I really want to know, did Jezzies bitch about the overwhelming whiteness of all the shows in New York that were run by men? Or is it just the…
Yeah, well when I had a screenplay optioned some years ago, I was at the mercy of every idiot who had an opinion, including the ones that thought I should lose weight because I'd look more professional. It's like, "I'm a fucking WRITER for fuck's sake!" It was almost a relief when 9/11 shut down everything in…
"There's not enough Female writers, directors, creative voices in the entertainment industry! Except we don't like Diablo Cody and Lena Dunham, because they are not the right kind of female voice."
Seriously people? Da fu... How does that even make any sense. Two people achieve a great amount of success and then you…
Lordy...no one can catch a break on this site can they? Ever heard the adage: write what you know? She knows misfit, hyper-verbal White young women very, very well. So that's what she writes. The problem is not that White young women's voices are over-represented on TV (White female show-runners are quite rare) but…
Oh, for fuck's sake! I am so fucking sick of this bullshit.
Me too!!! I'm massively introverted, and there just aren't that many people who don't require a lot of energy for me to hang out with- like my boyfriend- so I spent a lot more time with those people, because grad school means I have a pretty limited amount of energy to start with. I always enjoy those other people,…
What's the difference between John Boehner and Bashir al-Assad?
The Syrian dictator is capable of listening to reason.
Thank you for writing this. I've been feeling very weird about how I've grown apart from some friends and haven't been able to be there for them the way we always imagined. But life really does get incredibly full and yes, priorities change, and my husband now serves in a capacity that those super close friends once…
I kind of feel like part of being an adult and having adult friendships is realizing that life gets incredibly full as you age, and people's priorities change, often completely. For most of us friendships are never again going to be like when we were in school and constantly thrown together with our peer group, or…
Friendzone is the best thing about Jezebel, hands-down.
Everybody knows.
If the 2012 national elections meant anything, it meant that the Affordable Health Care act should go forward as planned. Voters had a chance to repudiate Obama, the man for whom it's named and choose Mitt Romney, the man who first implemented such a plan and now rejected it. They stuck with Obama by a clear majority,…
What a verbose dipshit. Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a story about someone jerking off could be so masturbatory.
OK. They have to be doing this shit on purpose at this point. Like he's sitting around with his weenie staff going
Some conservative white dudes in 2013 have no fucking chill at all.
I work in government at the state level and am have always kept close attention to federal politics. But in the last couple of years not even I have to stomach to follow it anymore. It just feels utterly hopeless. Corruption is completely out of control on both sides of the isle, and that's not widely known because…
Hopefully it comes with it's own comb
I thought people wanted to prevent their b-hole hair from getting this long?!
