More man-hating. Doesn't this shit ever get tired, wimmin?

Not trolling here at all coz I'm an avid reader of Jezebel but I gotta ask, why is the only truly positive posting about Fathers thus far been by a man (Mike Adamick's :Open letter to my Daughter)? Why has every article or posting by the women of Jezebel been snarky, negative, and in no way a true celebration of…
Yeah, God forbid you learn a few other common writing tools for emphasis. To someone with a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right?
I honestly don't get why both sides are being so defensive.
Why does Jezebel allow this nonsense on here? How is this clever or funny? How is this informative, or interesting? Lindy West seems to think this website is her own personal blog where she can just post whatever ridiculousness that pops into her head. She takes a story, and tries to find the fastest way to make it…
We know you love caps Lindy.
Eh. Jezebel has always done this dance. They want to have a zillion page clicks about popular shit and be all snarky-clever to a wide audience, and once they build that audience, its members cannot, in total, shift gears and talk about academic feminism using a common premise and cultural assumptions. The only way you…
If popular opinion holds that "A" is true (regardless of what "A" may be), and your contention is that "A" is not true—and what's more, you have a particular interest in changing the popular opinion to align itself with your contention—then I'd say the burden is on you to make it happen. It seems to me that a majority…
While racism and homophobia are treated, in mainstream discourse, like abominations (however meekly we might combat them and however aggressively they go to ground), sexism is still something of a grey area.
I wonder why we aren't seeing this kind of outcry about Tumblrs/whatevers that shame poor people or overweight people (I'm thinking People of Walmart, the Fat People Tumblr, etc.). I totally agree that this kind of promotion of women as objects of violence, whether implied or direct, is NOT ok, but this whole culture…
In a world where news is virtually immediate, I think we've become overly critical of companies that do not respond to things/take action 10 minutes after something happens (this article mentions this was shown to tumblr last night, which is a Sunday). Companies should NOT have knee jerk reactions to shit like this,…
Men in feminism is just such a total clusterfuck. Because like half the female feminists get mad at men when they create their own movement for gender equality (even if that movement still attributes the root cause to patriarchy), and want them to join feminism. And so, men do join feminism... and, the other half of…
My experiences include some of my white, rich, male friends being arrested on the beach for "disorderly conduct." My friends and I were already back in our hotel room when it happened, but we watched the whole thing from our balcony. It was definitely just the cops on a power trip trying to "make an example" or…
I feel like we need to go a week without Gwyneth. It would do us all some good.
I think every generation gets a bit of this. I'm a Gen X and I think Mr. Bart Newberry summed it up, thusly: "I visualized you in a haze as one of those slackster, flannel-wearing, coffee-house misanthropes I've been seeing in Newsweek."
This is totally inappropriate, because the harm done by Paulk's struggle to reconcile his faith and his sexuality is serious, and he chose to take it public and impact the lives of countless people who bought his story. As a therapist, the psychological damage that is caused by this pseudo-scientific junk makes me…
Call me old-fashioned, but I really miss The State.
Say this about ten times on my feed(I'm in Boston, everything else was "I'm fine, made it home safe") but it made me thing of this speech from The West Wing
Here's your reminder that labelling things as homoerotic as a joke is homophobic.
Water is wet, Westboro people are assholes. Nothing to see here, moving along.
