Diana’s absolutely right. Sports are the biggest scam going. More people need to see it.

Thanks for providing an example of the exact kind of “the platonic ideal that exists in my head but not in print means sports news has more value” double standard. The goings on of the film and television business is also trade news, dummy.

Hell, I would say that in any objective analysis, sports reporting has done a hell of a lot worse for the world than any reporting on “women’s issues” ever has, for the very simple reason that all Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh ever did was take the same format as sports radio, and import it into political…

I just bet you’re a blast to hang out with. But, since I decided to reply, I mean the actual sport with real rules, real governing bodies, over 1,000+ leagues, had a Women’s World Cup in February of this year with over 37 countries participating (and a Men’s a couple of months later with the Juniors on Mon & Tuesday…

Surprised the classic xkcd on the topic hasn’t made an appearance yet.

They do, but it’s still not considered trash the way celebrity news is. A lot of people that complain about how terrible sport media is still hold onto the idea of a purer reporting that could exist in a better world. No one really seems to think gossip stuff could be better; it’s baddness starts at the subject.

Loved the article. 10000% here for the comments.

YESSSSSSS more Diana Moskovitz pieces over here on Jezebel pleeeeease

You certainly do not need this validation, but holy fucking shit you are completely correct.

It’s not happening to THEM, so of course we’re just making it up! Finding problems where there are none, TYPICAL LADIES.

I have been reading these comments thinking about how lucky I have been to have largely avoided doing a lot of thankless gendered tasks, and it occurred to me why: I mostly have worked in offices full of women. Everyone still volunteers and offers to do the mindless admin stuff, but the difference is that because…

OK, there’s a lot going on (and going wrong) in what you wrote, so I’m only going to be able to address one small part of it because I just don’t have the time...

I believe there were 4 major things, including your post script. Learn to count.

My boss once asked me to make coffee, which wasn’t anywhere near by job description. I told him he really didn’t want me to do that (I’m not a coffee drinker), but he was insistent. Why he couldn’t make his own coffee I’ll never know. Anyway, like I said, I don’t know how to make coffee, particularly in our ridiculous…

I basically had the same thing happen. I worked in a newsroom, and my schedule included a Sunday shift that was often a little slow. I noticed during one of my lunch breaks that the fridge was nasty. It was a brutally boring day, so I took 20 minutes and cleaned it out. A few weeks later it was nasty again. No…

+1 to every man who’s looked helplessly at a woman to cut a cake at an office retirement party. /eyeroll/

My sister recently passed away and my company gave me seven days of bereavement leave, which I thought was incredibly kind and generous. However, my husband’s job refused to give him any bereavement leave for his sister-in-law because they didn’t consider her immediate family. He ended up having to use PTO when when I…

They’re always so angry! I wish those men would state how often they change the coffee at their place of work, when they last organized a company outing/holiday party, or cleaned up after a meeting. I bet you they don’t even know where the supply cabinet in their office is #fuckoffwiththatshit

And they all know so much more about study design and game theory than a group of women with PhDs who just published in HBR.

Oh, the men is the comments are entertaining. They are so ANGRY at the suggestion that there is sexism in the workplace!
