I grew up in rural Alaska, learned to run a chain saw before I was in high school, fished and worked alongside my brother. I wasn’t a tomboy, and I wasn’t afraid to work hard and get dirty, then dress up to go do something fun. That said, I’ve never been one to spend a lot of time on makeup or hair.

Nona, this is good advice. I worked in a jewelry store, and here’s my take:

Wait, I think I get it. Calling yourself trash is how men deal with the fact that they actually like patriarchy and misogyny because it benefits them. So they show shame and that covers up for the fact that they still want dominance. If you say “I’m trash” and do a little performative feminism, you can avoid changing…

Calorie counts can be surprising. A chicken and avocado salad at Cheesecake Factory runs you 1,870 calories. Sure, the portion is huge, but you’d save 300-500 calories by opting for a pizza instead.

I like that philosophy, too! But mixing things up every now and then isn’t just about giving each other a break—it’s good for kids to see that both parents can do all the tasks, even if they each do them a little differently. (This reminds me that I should maybe drive more. When we go on family outings, my husband…

What’s funny to me is that the rule only applies to chain restaurants (20+ locations all running under the same name, selling the same food). I don’t understand the distinction, logically - if it’s critically important information to have at McDonald’s, why isn’t the same true at the local brewpub?

How do you get people to stop trolling bike articles?

1.) Nobody from DC calls it the DMV.

Not really? I don’t know Schultz’s actual orientation and alignment and neither matter in the scheme of things, but her story does go to show that the patterns of abuse directed at and against women are not (a) unique to men or (b) primarily about sexual fulfillment. They’re about wielding power, letting off steam at…

I was reading this story an hour or so ago, in the waiting room for my therapist, who specializes in gender, sexuality, and their intersection with personality disorders. I showed this to her and she just got a confused look on her face and goes, “yeah, that’s a stumper.”

She really doesn’t seem to address the abuse and coercing these women to send naked pictures. A lot of “I felt trapped” but not a lot of “I was really shitty to these people for no discernable reason.”. The deceit isn’t the worst of her actions, but it’s the only one she’s addressing.

Fuck that professor. Who says something like that to an entire class?

I wrote about the time I was sexually assaulted as an assignment for my human sexuality class. We were supposed to write about our first sexual experience. I didn’t consider what happened to me sexual assault because I really didn’t know enough about sexual assault. I thought it only happened to women in dark alleys…

Thank you for the post. Jezebel pursued an open secret story inside of an industry that’s incredibly male dominated and where misogynist views (women aren’t and can’t be funny) still exist. The nature of CK’s comedy added icky complexity to the endeavor. Strong CK defenders (outside the comedy world) are to CK what…

I’m a fan of Jen Kirkman and a diehard Jezzie. I admire CK’s work but have never been completely comfortable with him as a person, as I’d heard this shit before (which is rare, I usually have no idea what’s up with celebs). So...Confliction, party of 1.

so, so, so NOT BINGO. everyone is running to defend themselves for plugging their ears and not showing one shred of doubt where there was damn good reason to be suspicious. TEAM JEZEBEL ALL THE WAY ON THIS ONE.

“Maybe the next time someone expresses disappointment over a person’s comedic performance, we don’t suddenly dismiss it as being overly-sensitive or too PC.”

Exactly. It’s the third-party method of “I wasn’t being an asshole, you just don’t have a sense of humor [when I said those assholish things].”  

He always struck me as a gross comedian with strong misogynistic undertones in his performance but so many liberal guys I know loved him. He sounds so much like Adam Carolla or Bill Burr but because he has all the right politics, he’s fine I guess?

I’ve come to a point where I have decided to believe ALL rumors of sexual assault and harassment. I’d rather side with a victim and be proved wrong than leap to the defense of a predator in the name of lofty ideals like “fairness”, thereby making it more difficult for women to come forward. There is nothing fair about…
