I'm not saying he didn't deserve to be fired. I just don't understand why Jezebel is doing it. That woman could have called Domin's herself if she wanted him sacked.

I'm not excusing his conduct or saying he shouldn't have gotten fired. I just don't understand why

I should clarify. I'm not saying that he didn't deserve to be fired. My question is if she thought it was such a gross invasion of her privacy, why didn't she contact Domino's herself? Why is Jezebel involved in any of this?

I don't really understand why the ad hominem attacks are necessary.

I'm gonna get flamed for this, but this article seems excessive and downright mean-spirited. Dude seems relatively harmless, did Jezebel really need to go and get him fired?

That's an insult to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

Ehh, in the context of putting the Balkans back together, I'd be inclined to let it slide. War is pretty effin' patriarchal (though Hollywood is working dutifully to change that).

I am all of those things...when I'm on acid. Does that count?

The joke for women is "sexy, single, sane, pick 2" right (yes, it's very problematic)? I think the corollary for men is "sexy, employed, and not a douchebag, pick 2"

Yeah, well have fun promoting structural inequality, ya corporate sellout. Maybe if you screw over enough poor people you can finally get that corner office (see, aren't baseless assumptions about the other person's character fun?)

"the time and place are important factors", but a lot of people won't even admit that. They want you to be ideological crusaders 24/7, damn the consequences, even when that's not going to help anything (and besides, if your friends truly are sexist assholes, you'll get multiple opportunities to raise the issue). I'm

Wow, you really showed that straw man what's for, didn't you.

The houses might have been off-campus but they were still officially recognized by the university, right? Like, I think you have to be in order to be a certified chapter. It's sort of a similar situation at Ohio State.

I've done it too, but I've also had those arguments ending with "Well I'm right and you're wrong and that's all there is to it!" and storming out of the room, though admittedly I was usually drunk at the time. I guess if someone accuses you of ruining everyone's good time, you can always go with "well you know whose

It's actually a very sad story. I think it gets overlooked that a lot of the hip-hop that gets tagged as super-misogynist is actually just cruder versions of blues lyrics.

Yes, but not just for the racism and sexism. It's more that their continued existence makes the idea of American meritocracy fully ludicrous on its face. It's ironic, because we're pretty much the only country that does this.

No you won't. If that shit's not institutionally sanctioned, it'll die out. Nobody wants to join an off-campus frat.

You're right, I shouldn't have taken it out on him. I lurked on Jezebel for three years pretty much doing the exact same thing. It's as good an informal education as you can get probably. At the same time, when an opinion is offered in good faith and met with hostility, a hostile response may in turn be expected. Just

You can call it mansplaining. I really don't care. I'm not talking about myself. I'm totally willing to and have numerous times risked social ostracism to call out sexist bullshit and will do so again, though I also try to be smart about it and not end up in arguments that don't go anywhere. I'm glad you are able to
