I really like jezebel, I learn a lot about other perspectives and I'm growing a lot I think. But if there is one criticism I have for jezebel and its community it's this: you guys are REALLY bad at not feeding the trolls.

When I'm done my degree, I will insist on being addressed as Dr (when titles are used). As the one guy said in Boardwalk Empire "I've studied too long to forgo it."

furthermore, A professorship is a position. Most PhD's aren't professors either (though there are VERY few professors who aren't doctors, typically in fields where doctorates aren't awarded as commonly, like music or fine arts).

To add my own peeve, misuse of "I" and "me." No, it's not "a picture of you and I" it's "a…

Through my own inadequacies, it's not what I took from the comments (not the article itself, which I loved). What was my interpretation was that, as a man, I am inherently threatening and that if I were to interact, it would be a threatening act. In order to not freak people out, I should avoid…

I read the article as it's unknown if he is or isnt a rapist until you find out. As if to say you dont know if the cat is alive or dead until you check. Which, as you pointed out, is not how the thought experiment works. I'll read it again.

Because my initial gut reaction was not to imagine someone leaning in close uttering good morning with a creepy grin, but rather a more neutral good morning from someone with maybe poor social graces. Why was this my first reaction, because I'd never consider doing the former and have never experienced it. Not to say…

Like I said, I'd have to witness it. It's definitely possible where the body language is very threatening, though I dont think that's the kind of good morning she meant.

you're supposed to inform them of incoming inclement weather! "IT'S SUPPOSED TO RAIN TONIGHT, YOU MAY WANT TO GET AN UMBRELLA!"

Like bitchyolympian says, I try to understand, and for typical cat-calling, I think I do, but I have to admit, I'm having a hard time understanding the good morning. I guess I'd actually have to witness it. Also, Schweeps was just avoiding the encounter, which is fine. If someone even wants to avoid contact with…

They're used in different contexts. "Good girl" is used to encourage a woman to be subservient and docile, "nice guy" is used by Jezebel to characterize passive aggressive misogynists. Either way, I'm not fond of simplistic names meant to reduce people, whether is slut, whore, good girl, nice guy, creep. They all deny…

There are always people that are straight up bad people. Women can be racists, sociopaths etc too.

Also, I grew up with a number of kids who had hyphenated names, and mostly they didn't go together well and were a mouthful, so I've always kinda disliked hyphenated names. Though there was one kid who had an awesome name, far awesomeness than the sum of his parents names, Van Kuik and Fast. It became Van Kuik-Fast,…

The Norse actually used parentage to come up with surnames. I would be Eric Wernersson and my sister would be Karin Wernersdottir or Margretsdottir. The Norse were actually pretty cool in terms or gender equality, though held pretty fast to gender roles.

Jesus Christ, I would only use the word harpy if I was trying to actually piss someone off. I can see myself taking either side of this argument, though something about the word harpy makes me not use it lightly.

My thinking is that our society is moving further and further away from family tribe units, and identifying with one is slowly falling out of favour. Surnames aren't really all that useful anymore. Honestly, I kind of like the Italian Renaissance convention of having a surname identify which city you're from, which is…

Invent a brand new one!

As a man, I've always been uncomfortable with a woman taking someone else's name. I guess it's because my mom kept hers. I would certainly not ask someone to take mine, and might even be a little uncomfortable if she wanted to. Though, whose name the children should take always confused me, so here is my solution that…

At this point it may even be "anybody buy a republican 2016"
