You also just know that this dude would be completely comfortable fucking people in there himself and expecting his parents to swim in it after.

Maybe his parents should have a little consideration.
Next stop, bridesmaids dresses- after all, will you really wear that puce taffeta frill-monster with matching shoes again. Ever?
I absolutely would have done this had I known about it. 100%. I don't really see why not to if you're only going to wear it once. Remember, long ago men used to buy their tuxes permanently as well as formal wear that they'd use for many years afterwards. As they stopped doing so, and only wore tuxes on one or two…
A book of the week or month would be so great, with a follow up discussion! Probably month, since it might take more than a week to order and have a book arrive, and read it.
We could even have a discussion about that! BOOM!
Have you ever thought about putting different writers on different "beats?" You know, have someone write political stuff, someone else write about intersectional stuff, have someone else write about lighter things, and so on? I'd like to see more politics. I'd like to see things about great women. One person, crap, I…
My ideal woman's website would be one that balances humour, vanity, and fiscal/political/scientific/etc issues. A 'one stop shop', if you will. I'd love to see better science writing, where the articles aren't tainted by an obvious political/personal agenda. Oh my God, how I'd love to wake up to Jezebel with in…
Yes please!! Let's have some beauty product reviews and maybe some tutorials.
This would be great - maybe focusing on books by female authors that tend to get shunted aside or unfairly written off as "chick lit"?
I concur! [/LeoDiCaprio]
Jessica - I think it could be pulled off easily if, let's say, there was a specific twitter/poll/whatever set up for that. Folks could send in their suggestions and common ones can go in the post, along with a few "unknowns". That way, it's more by the readers of Jez and then it's interactive, without massive amounts…
I like when a women's website tackles big topics in politics, religion and technology that don't always have a female angle, ironically. I view a women's website as a safe place to express my opinions and have a discussion without some of the overbearing and dismissive male presence I've gotten from other websites.…
I'm slowly getting into makeup and totally agree with you that'd it be nice to read some pro makeup posts once in a while. Something akin to all the runway coverage maybe, where they talk about the new makeup trends for fall and spring?
A science writer, please. A women's site that bemoans the lack of encouragement and support and opportunity for women in STEM fields is great - one that actually shares and does thoughtful analysis of scientific studies and new advances with a slant towards those that might be pertinent to women would be amazing.
It would be nice to have less Kardashian and more, well, anything really.
Bring back the fucking grays. Or, like Max said yesterday, administer some sort of "flag" or "call moderator" button for spam, trolls and porn gifs.
As far as comment moderation goes, I'd like to see better moderation of obvious trolling comments, and less tolerance of general pedantic assholishness. The dismiss feature is a start, but something else seems to be needed, at least in my opinion.
I'd also like to see more posts about books. io9 does a great one every month with new SFF books. I'd like to see one on Jez every month that are themed i.e. Female authors (or whatever). A lot of us read and read a lot. It would be nice to have less Kardashian and more, well, anything really.
I'd love to see at least 1 Ask an Expert every month. And not a sex expert or a sex worker or a sex anything, but science, medicine, the arts, engineering, space, all of that stuff. There's so little of that on Jezebel and I think it could be very helpful.
