Thank you for this! At this point, about 75% of my friend group is "gluten intolerant" and on modified diets. It's funny how they feel fine after eating something with gluten until they find out it has gluten and then it's like the pain of childbirth.

I think there's a tonne of bullshit to unpack here. And it's sad that it reflects badly on feminism, because 3rd wave feminism/queer theory etc. could help everyone out here. This is a perfect example of how patriarchy and socially imposed gender roles hurt everyone. And how Jezebel should not be thought of in any way…

Or this guy.

You know, Hartman used to joke about his abusive wife? Most likely because the only angle for "abusive woman, abused man" our society allows is "LOL". Imagine having to resort to that as catharsis, and meeting responses of having people laughing at you, instead of with you. Ah well, I'm sure he'd rather…

Sooooooo, basically, men are expected to show total restraint and exhibit perfect control of their anger, but women aren't. How can we expect men to take responsibility for their emotions and behavior if women are not held to the same standard? This is not a MRA point. It is reality. These kinds of nonsensical…

What the fuck did I just read? Why the hell is violence towards men funny? That's disgusting. Tracie is disgusting.

Bull. Fucking. Shit. I am engaged to a male survivor of partner violence. It is comparable as hell.

Abuse is abuse. Unless you are hit by someone else there is NEVER an excuse to strike them.

You also don't have the right to expect that you can hit someone and they won't hit back. I don't care if you're a girl. If you raise a hand against someone you damn well better be prepared to be knocked back on your ass. I don't care what led to it, I give Jay Z credit for just standing there.

Ok. So, a few years back, when I was being physically assaulted by my (now ex) gf (who is much bigger than me and some trained fighting experience) after a party where she drunkenly thought for sure I had cheated on her, and I had my head bashed into the ground and my gut repeatedly struck, tell me, when and how did…

I love the hypocrisy in your argument. "Oh he's bigger" "she was being held back the whole time" "female and male violence is different".

"Gluten intolerance" isn't celiac, though, and is pretty much made up. That's not to say the people's complaints aren't real, or to say that they aren't having an issue of gluten (or some other wheat component). It's just that it's not a verified disease, and appears to be a fad.

Remarkable how you suddenly stopped responding after user wejustkeepdriving's all too common (though not nearly as common as the reverse) story of domestic abuse by her mother on her father for years and years (and don't forget that he father wasn't the only one who dearly suffered because of her physical and…

You are seriously everything wrong with the world.

Hey, gluten sensitivity is not Celiac's. They're not claiming Celiac's isn't real. There is some evidence that gluten sensitivity might not really be the gluten. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2364869…

This guy might want to hear your theory about female on male violence not being as violent.

Ah so if you walked up to a homeless man on the street and slapped him that would be more justified than him slapping you because of his relative privilege? Or would it be more justified for him to slap you because of his socio-economic status? Or perhaps it's stupid to use demographic membership to minimize the…

My point is that the writers of Jezebel, and TEM specifically, have a track record of not seeing women's violence as real violence. I find it to be both morally reprehensible, and exactly the sort of thing that makes people think that feminism's claims about moving towards gender equality and not female supremacy are…

Frankly, posting this article is irresponsible. Another Jezzie article that posted the footage specifically said "Speculating on why this is happening without all the facts is irresponsible."
Good communication there guys.

I'm curious: If Jay-Z had attacked Solange, would Jezebel post an article entitled, "The Top Theories About Why Jay-Z Attacked Solange", recounting all the various speculation about Jay-Z's possible alcohol use, Solange having insulted him as a father, and him standing up for Beyonce? Or would we bypass all discussion…

That's what it's like to be a man. You have to put up with this kind of abuse from women because a retaliation would be grounds for arrest.
