Maybe we're both in a mood. The headline and contents bothered me. You nailed it.

Maybe I'm just in a mood but, why is this something that is real? Who Cares? Why does in take some random at people being like...."would fuck' to talk about the importance of teaching lgbtq studies? what about teachers around the country who actually teach black history? They don't matter cause we don't want to fuck…
Because YEAH, we should definitely start treating men who choose to teach (or do any job) as objects who are only valuable for their looks and not their credentials. It has worked out so well treating women like that, we should definitely do it to men too! Hey, we're just trying to be equal about it!
(And yes, I know,…
With so many stories coming out lately about students being sexually assaulted by their teachers, I find this a little icky.
I love Andrea Dworkin's work so I know & respect your views, but I must say: I worked as an escort for three years & had a good experience, I love porn, and I really, really get tired of people basically saying the moment I make a choice they don't understand or approve of, I *must* be brainwashed & no longer have…
Take it from a chick older than dirt: his view of "egalitarian", in this context, means you will be expected to make the money, do the cooking, do the cleaning, and all the other shit work as well as performing like a porn star on demand, while he pursues "his dreams."
Oh my God, I know exactly how you feel. I cannot tell you the number of times I've gone to bed feeling really great about my writing, only to read it the next morning and freak out over how awful it is. I've deleted entire books and started over more than once.
I've taken a month to avoid it, and am just now warming up to dealing with it. Is there anything you find helps? I won't go so far as to say it disgusts me, but resentment is a good description.
So a follow up on last week's post about escorting.
I'm writing a book, not because I have a fabulous story to tell, but just for me, for fun. And I despise it. What I hate most shifts from day to day, but I wish it were a person so I could stab it in the face. This is normal, right?
UGH IT'S TRUE. All of the "I don't know anything about evolution but har har har isn't this study stupid?" articles make me sad inside. I feel like bad science reporting gives people the wrong impression about certain fields. Like an evolutionary scientist criticizing an evolutionary psychological study is one thing,…
Hear hear! I was coming down here to say a similar thing, but I'm just a lil ol' plant molecular biologist...your explanation is perfect and much better than mine would've been.
And you are looking for real scientists on....jezebel?
I second the plea for a real science writer. You can make science available for the masses and even snarky/fun without doing...this.
I'm going to go ahead and guess that you're not a scientist.
Mmmmm I think you are missing the point of the study. And science.
Someone please get a science writer up in here. This was definitely not the best science reporting I've seen on Jezebel.
Yes, fuck science. Lets just imagine things are the way we want them to be and let that be that.
Helping? Or trying to find out why things work the way they do?
No. I'm sorry but no. Jezebel is no place to learn about queer issues. It never has been and if you want to learn something, may I suggest anywhere else. Mainstream feminism does not have a good history with the lesbian/trans community and certainly not the general commentariat of Jezebel. The last time Jezebel wrote…
