Thank you! I was reading comments downsthread and getting so upset. Because she's beautiful she can't be lonely? Because she may be a little shallow in who she is looking for, she doesn't get to feel lonely?

Yeah, if anything, good looks will find you more douchebags than legitimate dates. That'd suck. But it doesn't remove the fact that thin,good looking women still get so much more than us ugly fuckers. Well paying jobs often openly admit to not hiring plus size women, or unattractive women. Not to mention the entire…

From the Lorde/Selena Gomez article:

The fact that there is any amount of snark and derision towards Jaycee Dugard is FUCKING ASTONISHING considering what site we are on. That little girl was not only raped pretty much daily for the better part of a decade, she was forced to give birth to two children. She was in captivity for 18 years, which is an…

Strangely enough I don't associate Elizabeth Smart with her abduction. I do drop her into the category of 'how a wealthy white woman rises above a truly horrible experience'. I am reasonably sure that the Smart family never had to beg for information on how to get services for their daughter after her abduction or…

Holda, holda, holda. If Jez's stance is that women of color shouldn't be silenced, why have I seen comments removed when WOC try to ask about Hugo Schwyzer? No comment. Or when NINJACATE's (now ZOMBIECATE) post on groupthink went viral (I'd say 1,575,007 hits would count as viral), it was completely ignored and pushed…

So, I am a person that points out the issues with jezebel and their dealing/lack of dealing with the issues that face POC and WOC.

I think we know, from experience and stuff, that things are given a wider audience and are resolved when they start affecting White women. That's just how the US works.

I want The Roots to re do every song on the radio. They can have their own never ending franchise like Kidz Bop and NOW! or whatever.

THIS! Thank you! I think the "stop slut shaming you guyz!" argument is totally missing the point. My issue all along has been about privilege and appropriation.

It's not just the nudity, it's how it contextualized. It's largely framed as the Good Girl Gone Bad, co-oping subcultures and communities considered "dark" and "dirty" and "seedy." I feel like a culture of debasing oneself as a form of transgression has emerged and I am not entirely comfortable with it. For one, to…

Okay, this is too much. she is too flippin cute. I'm so stoked for Karrie right now. What a spunky kid.

That line was a clunker, but reading the article in full, I think Sinead was trying to say that while Miley may think she is innocently exploiting her own sexuality, in reality, a bunch of older men are really the ones exploiting her.

I love how some people don't understand what slut shaming is.

I love how some people are using "slut shaming" as a barrier from criticism.

Wow, that was a shame about Nicki M and Zac E NOT getting it on. I'm not the type to normally think celebrities are better looking than regular people but that pair...hot!

My biggest regret is that Sinead called her "talented". Damnit, Sinead, then she mocked you, because she's well, not.

Miley needs a spanking and a nap. I thought it was very cool that Sinead even took time out of her day to try and counsel the little shit. No good deed.

I love so much the fact that you just called them "that other one and Humpty Dumpty". Perfection.
