Abuse of platform. I realize being a cyber bully wins Jezebel extra clicks but the amount of time this allegedly pro "social causes" site spends making fun of or humiliating obscure people is really disturbing. There really seems to be a mentality here of the ends justifying the means, and it undermines whatever…

Jezebel: the internet's prime source of unethical vendetta journalism and the bullying of non-newsworthy people.

Thank heavens a tasteless party theme celebrated by a bunch of 20-somethings in an Indiana sorority are being dragged into the light of pure and good liberal judgment. That's the reason I joined the liberal cause!

It's hard to be anyone. Even a white guy (shocker, but to the benevolent racists and sexists of Jezebel this is a major point of contention).

I am a gay dude, and if I have to listen to straight people and their endless bitching about lack of privilege relative to white people or to men, I should get to write all of…

Is yours one of the clubs that "hires?" I know a lot of them do the "independent contractor" thing and make the girls pay to dance. Not really related to your question just curious.

Extreme tangent: speaking of porn, a few months ago a friend who I've long known to be adventurous by mainstream standards dropped a bomb on me. Background: He is a former rentboy/prostitute who through various mechanisms retired at age 30 with close to a million dollars in his bank account. He is also very much gay.

Maybe but you can't buy a belt in every pattern. Someone into doing this would also be in a great place to start making other custom leather accessories. Very big among the goth crowd (are they still called goths?)

Very cool. I admire the tenacity of anyone who has the energy for this sort of stuff.

You wrote all that stuff about English and yet there is no paragraph break anywhere in that tiresome missive. Three stacked adjectives per large-scale, undeniable, intentional but terribly written sentence is also plenty, son.

Louisiana can one up the bullshit: until very recently, a prostitute who offered blowjobs was considered to have committed a "crime against nature." Which was a felony. Which required registration as a sex offender. Vaginal sex? Misdemeanor.

Freedom of association is a protected right. You can legally evict a person from a private party who wasn't invited regardless of what the event is or whatever messed up criteria you have for deciding who is invited.

I am from the deep South (Louisiana) and have had very few direct experiences with this sort of stuff either. I don't know why someone from the South would have said something about it being weird to see a mixed group. The deep South is from between 20-40% Black, depending on the state. Despite the ignorant redneck…

I am not sure I agree with you 100% but I do agree that Lindy West, author of the infamous "Hipster Racism" piece, doesn't have a lot of room to stand.

I am gay and my girlfriends get cat called all the time, environment depending. I live in New Orleans and there is a sort of not-joking way we refer to the main Bourbon Street strip as "straight Bourbon"—NONE of the girls want to go over there and I can't blame them. The worst was probably a few years ago when I was…

I'm curious who these "most scholars" are. Ideas can be racist. A person who holds on to racist ideas is a racist. You can be black and still be racist against blacks. The idea that the president of the United States can't be racist because he has no power is ridiculous on its face. The redefinition of racism to mean…

It would be a fun turn of events if Graham isn't white. Does anyone actually know, or is just guessing from a photo okay situationally?

On the few occasions someone has done my drag makeup for me, it was explained to me that this is usually makeup used to cover up scars.

NOLA wasn't always quite like this. Katrina closed a lot of stores that never re-opened, particularly in the poorer neighborhoods. Even the iconic Circle Food Store (visible on I10 near the Claiborne exit) in the 7th ward has been shut down since the storm.

There are a few straight guys who do drag around New Orleans. It's a performance. Part of the reason the tutorials are good is often just that they are professional entertainers.

You poor dear, being tormented by drag queens, with all of their "male privilege." Because "straight privilege" isn't a thing, or anything.
