I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you, just pointing out the irony. So, they're feminist when it supports their position, and just a gossip blog when it doesn't. There is a way to do both, it just takes more thought.

Yeah, that could be it.

I don't think it's a feminist issue, or a "go away, feminists" issue. It's a "go away, people with ethics and morals that inconvenience us" issue.

Right on. Jez hasn't felt like a safe place for a long time.

Did you notice not a lot of "Author Participating" happening in these threads?

I think you are on to something.

I am coming to the conclusion that they no longer self-identify as a feminist blog, and are intentionally a) changing their format to celebrity gossip and b) significantly downgrading comments and commenters that don't fit with this change.

Good one... never to be forgotten!

Thanks! I am glad to see so many commenters feel the same way. I was surprised at the headline since I thought Jezebel knew their audience.

Yes, don't forget this is the woman who wrote an article blasting Holocaust survivors as a jumping-off point to discuss Breaking Bad.

Breslaw is the worst author on this site, and she has some pretty stiff competition.

YES. I would love to see that.

Could Jessica Coen or Anna Breslaw please explain why the mental health of a 15-year-old is material fit-to-print? I'm genuinely curious how you've rationalized this.

"Good judgment" and "Anna Breslaw" have yet to be introduced... likely 'cause they'll have nothing in common anyway.

I'll put it in small words the internet can understand: Leave Paris alone!

I'll second you on that and give you bonus points for expressing your suggestion so compellingly. <3

It's wrong. It's gross. It's a monumentally asshole move.

How about we not scrutinize a suicidal, troubled child, Jezebel/Breslaw? Did a hard blow to your head dislodge your good judgment?

Well agreed.

Not super comfortable with the continued focus on Paris Jackson's suicide attempt. She's just a kid - surely all this attention is not helping?
