Yeah Glenn was in college when Pearl Harbor went down though, and I think may have been studying engineering, and he got college education in the aviation cadet program before getting called up too. Yeager if I recall was just a high school graduate and they wanted - fairly - guys who could contribute to the science

Okay, but, to be fair, he doesn't actually say stuff like that in the letter. There's no grossly "Haw haw wimmins! Make me a space sandwich!" language.

I'm quite confident they didn't have a plan to send a black man into space either. It was 1962. The letter is of its time.

In the guy's (very minor) defense, in 1963, almost all astronauts would have been coming up through a path starting as military pilots. To imagine a woman astronaut at that time, almost by definition you'd also have to consider somehow creating a channel of female combat pilots out of nothingness. The whole mission

There are whole generations of kids in third world countries who are going to grow up thinking the Patriots won the Superbowl in 2007 and 2011, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the NBA title in 2012 and the Boston Celtics won it in 2009 and 2010. All because of clothes made and unable to be sold so they were given away.

Oh for fuck's sake. Not everyone wants to be all "I AM WOMAN, WATCH ME BLEED" all over the place. I am perfectly fine with dealing with my menstrual blood but by God, I don't want to see anyone else's. Tampons are, in the grand scheme of things, an amazing invention. I don't use them myself (I am a torch-bearing

"OK OK OK. This, I get."

"Ever wonder how women play sports with their boobs always getting in the way?"

That being said, for example Deadspin has one black writer and this is the kind of stuff he posts http://deadspin.com/deadspin-up-al… - just literally "Tribute to Lil Wayne" video. It's hard for the world to change when the non-white men do exactly what the white men expect they will do when given a voice

"Those guys need to do some pushups"

"Sociological imagination," a red flag if there ever was one.

Oh Boris. How is it that he can say things that would make me hate and detest any normal person, but I still have a soft spot for him? It's why he's so dangerous. He's the Olenna Tyrell of British politics.

VICE interviews are always more interesting. Jezebel interviews are always less interesting.

And 27 per cent believed ladies should stop shopping in 'younger' clothes stores like Topshop and Miss Selfridge once they reach their early forties.

I swear this site is turning into fucking jezebel. Lindy West says "good feminized male author. Ill give you a bite of my donut."

Even setting aside the interminable debate over whether Korean plastic surgery is "Euro-inspired," is Jezebel officially uninterested in fact-checking, to the point where it repeatedly ignores another article in its very own media network which debunked the "Korean beauty pageant contestants all had the same face due

In Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia, women are also lining up to get butt implants so they can have a bubble butt, which is very clearly NOT a white attribute. so why isn't Jezebel up in arms about that and analysing what kind of self-loathing those women are suffering from?

Hey! You got your Jezebel in my Deadspin!

Anna Breslaw, bless your heart

"...while being compared aesthetically to a 6-foot-2 occasional Sports Illustrated swimsuit model who preceded you in victory at the All England Club." ummmmm Serena (5'9")? Or 6'2" Sharapova, who hasn't won Wimbeldon since 2004 or maybe you're confusing the Olympics in London last year (when she actually LOST the
