People above have (rightly) called you out for the heartless tone of this post, but allow me to just mention the holes in your analogy. If you’ve robbed a bank, then obviously the police would like you to face justice. If, however, you’re also the sole witness to a murder, then quite often the police will refrain from…

Yeah, that place was like the physical incarnation of “New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down.”

Hey, as one of those drunk suburban kids (at the NYC iteration)....I totally understand and apologize.

Congrats to both!

It’s like I told my friends when we’d been on our feet for five hours straight at the Women’s March on Washington: “There’s a reason it’s called ‘the struggle,’ and not ‘the comfortable.’”

I think a lot of these people who criticized the strike demonstrated how US-centric their perspectives are. There’s this assumption that the people who came up with it were all middle- and upper-class women, largely white. But as as Jezebel’s great post on Latin American feminism mentioned, the idea for the…

Yeah. It seems like HR, at its best, should serve as an employee advocate, but I know it doesn’t always work out that way. Plus, it gets complicated when they’re also the people tasked with hiring and firing.

I’ve never worked in a tech firm, but having spent some time as a woman in a similarly male-dominated industry (finance), I think there’s a gender imbalance between various parts of the company that often compounds these problems. Like, even as HR is supposed to serve as a resource for gender inequality and other…

Great story. I spent a week doing volunteer work at the stone warehouse back in March, right after the Turkey-EU deal was signed (I was one of the water/tea/toiletry staffers at the table in the front of the building). At the time, it was pretty mixed between Afghans and Syrians inside, but there were tensions around…

No, but I think there’s no reason for subsequent productions to mimic the original cast’s accents, when those accents have no connection to the characters of the musical. Why should a bunch of American actors (in the recently concluded Broadway revival) adopt British accents to play French revolutionaries?

Is it just me, or are the random French words they speak...not all pronounced exactly right?

...except that all of the characters are French.

St. Louis fans out-St. Louising themselves today.

Still pretty damn weird and awkward.

The article isn’t my problem. It’s the comments, which are always ten times more negative than the article itself/other comments on similar websites.

It’s just such an unexpected response, given the demographics and outlook of the Jezebel commentariat in general. I have to assume it’s this weird little in-group quirk that manifests here. I don’t know where it came from, though, and I really wish it would go away. In lieu of that, you’re right — maybe less Beyoncé…

Maybe dogeatcake is secretly Keyshia Cole.

Why is Jezebel the most Beyoncé-ambivalent space on the internet? Everywhere else (short of like, Breitbart/Fox News/Stormfront) loves her...and yet the comments on Beyoncé posts here are always chock full of “but what about...” concern trolls.
