Excuse me, but just assuming that WOC who at times feel excluded by the feminist movement are "misinformed" is insulting and part of the problem. "[G]et specific about your complaints or take a seat." "I've read all of that on WOC blogs and it goes unchallenged as if we need hate stirred up between white feminists…
I can keep a weather eye on the class issues. The others I will leave to people with more talent and impact.
The funniest thing to me about how we view all of this is that in many past societies sexual orientation wasn't nearly as "fixed" as it is today in the developed world. I may be wrong, but I suspect that a lot of the reason for our very simplistic binary view of sexuality has to do with how our society stresses…
I honestly love female vocalists in metal. It's fucking rad.
You know, you could just suggest that Jezebel also do a Q&A with Martinez instead of insisting that they don't do one with Duchess.
holy shit that was absolutely unlistenable, almost as bad as rap
Dude. Euro metal fests are almost universally better than US ones in terms of size, attendance, and lineups. With the exception of Maryland Death Fest. Mostly because it's so hard to get work visas if you're not from the US.
Seems like they're kinda different genres; how about feature BOTH? I'm all about the both/and, not the either/or.
I'm sorry, I now understand that you don't know much about heavy metal. My condolences.
Also incorrect.
Your swimsuit does absolutely nothing to contain your body fluids.
I don't really imagine a ton of people swimming with swimsuits is much different hygienically than a said people swimming naked.
Um, no, actually, I'm a daily commenter here, and have been published multiple times by Jezebel. You can view my comments on abortion, forced sterilization, how sexism and racism are encoded in the brain on the Lorne Michaels article just today, what an intersectional approach to interpersonal violence looks like,…
Thank GOD I am not the only one who was irritated at this. Sorry, ladies, this is as offensive as "Indian Princess" or "Geisha" or "Mexican bandito". I (a Latina) actually wanted to dress as a Chola for Halloween with a sign that said "How you see me" one year because I was feeling particularly down about race…
Why do you only show up to take down sex-positivism? Do you get that we'd take you more seriously if you at least stood against whorephobic misogyny? You could have told the OP that their "whoring herself out" words weren't ok, but it's not important to you to actually fight patriarchy, just to make sure sex-pozzies…
Sorry, but you can't be "sex-positive" while using the phrase "whoring herself out".
She used a misogynistic, sex-shaming term to insult a woman for committing the crime of having sex she didn't approve of (entirey unsurprisingly, she had no problem whatsoever with the male performer in the scenario; it's only the woman who is bad and dirty). That's about as far from "sex positive" as you can get, and…
I think referring to porn as "whoring yourself out" pretty much negates "I'm all sex positive and all..."
