Because the people in charge of Jezebel now absolutely do not give a single shit about their writing staff nor even about their audience. It’s so frustrating. I don’t know how much clearer we can make it but I guess the commentariat is irrelevant to them.

Given that the article says that this occurred during spring break, it’s quite possible no one was there.  Hell, she might have been off for the 5 days herself over spring break.

Rather than assuming toxic masculinity, it could be that Rock hasn’t abdicated out his moral agency in favor of that of the LAPD, and genuinely did not want to subject Smith to the LAPD’s and the justice system notion of an appropriate response.

Green>White Men>White Women>Minority Men>Minority Women 

Nah, I don’t buy this conspiracy theory shit. None of what I see in the video comes off as performance, and anyway why would they plan that of all things? How is it going to improve the viewership of a show already in progress? Smith and Rock somehow have a stake in how many people watch the Oscars? Smith would use…

Now I can understand why people “like” Snoop despite all of the shit he’s been alleged to have done. Cult of personality. Nothing new.

It wasn’t mentioned in the article, but I don’t pass up a chance to say this: Megan Thee Stallion is an upstanding citizen and should probably be considered a role model for everyone. Despite a thriving (and growing) musical career, celebrity, money, etc., she still went back to school to finish a degree in a…

What are the odds that anyone complaining about this has ever even watched a women’s sports event?

I do think we need to move away from the gender binary in sports and have categories based on physical ability or size, like in boxing, etc. It doesn’t make sense to try to fit all of humanity’s gender and physical diversity into two outdated categories.

Not only was it tone deaf and unnecessary, it was also inaccurate. I don’t suppose Ms Campion has ever heard of mixed doubles. 

I don’t disagree with your larger point, but Trent Reznor’s level of fame isn’t even comparable to Jay-Z’s. Reznor is pretty famous to people of a certain age but he doesn’t have the same name recognition as Jay-Z and unlike Beyonce, Mariqueen Maandig or isn’t a household name. Most of the photos where people are…

I don’t think Beyonce or Jay-Z care about what’s said about their kids, because they’re so freaking rich...

I’ve been seeing this response a lot to these horrifying bills. I get it in a sense, but it’s not helpful for many reasons.

You mean the guy who pulled the trigger and has gone on tv saying he doesn’t feel guilty?

Not only that, but for what other crime is the victim’s DNA collected and entered into a database? None. Maybe the rare assault. If you allow rape victims’ DNA to be part of the criminal database, you’re creating an unequal system wherein being the victim of one specific crime gets you entered into the database, but…

It’s not a legitimate question. Rape survivors’ DNA should not be entered into a searchable criminal database. End of story. Rape victims are not criminal suspects, regardless of what they’ve done in the past or may do in the future. Putting them in that database is so wrong and will have a chilling effect on the…

The victim’s DNA shouldn’t be kept in the database full-stop. Murders are extremely rare, even amongst felonies, and it’s completely unreasonable to structure the justice system around them when the majority of offenses are non-violent.

Ugh, ladies, you SAID to test the rape kits so we DID. Now you’re mad at us for doing what you wanted! Women! Can’t live with ‘em. Pass the beernuts.

^^^ THIS is what it means to be “Christian”. Not that bullshit warped thing that American religion has become which is really just a sad excuse for bigotry and hatred.

Angels walk among us
