I was trying to say it ironically because I know this is a view that women have to deal with. I kind of missed the mark on the joke.

I just asked my vibrator if I was a "lonely fuck" and it said BUZZZZZZZZZZZ...

I was pondering the same thing. I think shes just holding a very narrow-minded, very immature idea of men and private pleasure. Real men have real sex with real women, they dont skulk in dirty bathrooms jizzing into fake vaginas like some sicko dirty old man. Right?

ha, sorry! I was being facetious, I didn't realize you were actually new! How it works is, something offensive happens - a dramatic response occurs, either overblown or valid, and authors generally respond in four ways. (1) they actively delete criticism, sometimes banning commenters. (2) they go back in and edit…

For reals though, I defend Jezebel all the time over ol' Gawker to the point where I am a joke. Then an article like this happens and it makes the criticism valid. [groan] At least all the commenters aren't on board.

This doesn't seem to be a common concern, in light of the "lonely fucks" and chairsniffers comments, but I am amazed that you think no Jezebel readers have penises.

If he can help me with the dishes and laundry, GIVE HIM TO MEEEEEEEEE.

Maybe it's not so much about the objectification of the vagina, but reflective of the sense/stereotype that men can have sex whenever they want (either b/c they objectify the vagina, or b/c they're less particular about who they have sex with, or whatever)? And/or, maybe the belief is that women are more discerning…

And the dude who fixed my washing machine.

Why? So then she can use a sex toy designed to simulate the feeling of a penis and then write a blog post about it? Wow, what a lonely fuck/chairsniffer she will be!

Rather than trashing Gloria for shaming men who use sex toys, I'd like to explore the impulse behind this kind of shaming. Is this about buying into some sexist stereotype that links a man's honor with his ability to find a "real" sex partner, rather than an artificial one? Is this a negative reaction to the…

This man's preoccupation with what other people will think about how he masturbates is grating and projecting. Is it too much to ask that people who get to bring themselves to orgasm in a new, consensual fashion be a little bit excited by it and not fear that firemen will call them "fags"?

Why are we empowered when we buy a vibrator, but a man who buys a fleshlight is a 'lonely fuck'?

" what kind of a lonely fuck would use one of those?"Jesus. That's a bit harsh. I'm surprised at you Jezebel as you are usually very pro masturbation and against shaming people for pleasing their bodies.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "Release the Kraken".

Wow, Mugatu can really turn it OUT.

This explains so much.
