I find it rich that Jezebel is condemning another blog for sensationalist, clickbait material. Sure, maybe you don't have misleading article titles but I haven't seen xoJane publish actual photos of a rape victim mid-assault lately. Oh, or post a rape victim's name after her family expressly wished it wouldn't become

As a non-leg-shaver since 2009 (Lifetime Lazy here), I often think of it as my weirdo-repellent. If anyone cares about my body hair more than I care about my body hair, they're out. And that goes either way - love it or hate it, I don't care, I don't want to hear about it.

"It is part of our 2013 Fiction Issue, one that is entirely dedicated to female writers, photographers, illustrators, painters, and other contributors."

Did you also read A Modest Proposal and think it's about eating babies?

No I know, but it's a certainty that in the absence a medical problem it is never, ever a positive to be born 5 weeks early. And you're right, railing at individuals is unproductive, but a big difference to me between this and, to use your example, obesity is that a) opting for a premature delivery for frivolous

What is really pathetic is all the women who say they get rid of the pubic hair for themselves when it is really, truly for the men.

I'm just getting too old for this kind of thing I suppose.

I have stared into the face of progress and it has deemed me unready.

And we need to destigmatize abortion post-haste. We need to reclaim the semantic debate so that we pro-choicers don't ever concede ground by calling the other side "pro-life" (because, hahahaha!). We need more women who had one without any sense of conflict (as I am doing here, now) standing up and saying, I had one,

A chilling prospect.

I can't even put into words how depressed and frustrated the war against "gamer girls" makes me. At the end of the day, what I just can't wrap my head around is why it seems to affect these men SO MUCH that girls want to play games and then talk about it. How it's somehow this invasion of their secret, special

This statistic is... well, misleading's the wrong word. It's absolutely true, but it ignores another aspect of the situation.

Sorry, friend—for the record, forever, FUCK NO AND FUCK OFF.

There's an article on this very thing over at Kotaku, for anyone who's interested in the gaming community's response. I have a thread of my own going, but I'll warn you in advance that some of the commentary is more than a little upsetting/disheartening—and it makes me sad to see the community that represents one of

I'm a longtime Jezebel reader and the daughter of one of the oldest cocktail waitresses at Foxwoods. She rocks and raised me on those tips; I've seen the job take its toll and now work in the feminist movement because of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for featuring this story.

considering that rape actually IS everywhere, "good lord lighten up" is unhelpful at best. (source: literally any search containing the words "rape statistics")

Really guys?! REALLY?!

Believe me, I understand hyper-contextualization of commentary.

Here's how I see it—feel free to point out where you think I'm reaching:

1.) When a male-female dynamic is set up in a public venue, there are some automatic assumptions the audience is going to draw. They will likely be unfair, inaccurate, and downright

I've never been sadder to read the comments section of Kotaku.

I think what the folks saying, "how was this a rape joke," are missing is that this is a common line delivered to victims to get them to comply with a horrifically violent sexual act.

Ultimately, we can all choose to ignore the reality of what our words mean (because subtext is just as important as context and surface
