Huh. As a woman who's been a stay-at-home mom for ten years, I get the complete OPPOSITE message. I feel marginalized and unworthy, compared to women who "work". That I am wasting my life by being a homemaker.

It gets somewhat better when people's kids get older than 10, but I totally agree.

That was an epic and awesome rant. Thank you!

"You hit a very important nail on the head. I'd like to add that society also teaches boys that everything is a competition and that women are rewards for successful performance. As such, rejection is taken as more than one person saying the requisite sparks aren't there; it's taken as an absolute statement about your

Dude. He used sexual orientation as an insult. That makes it a slur. He used toxic queen as an insult.

How many women are on the team since Tina Fey left? How many people of color?

Yes- this. And while I thought the start of the show was a good way of addressing the problem- i.e. make fun of themselves- it did not make up for how abyssmal the rest of the skits were. They played on every negative racial stereotype without anything smart or incisive behind it. Kerry Washington was great with

SNL has shown that it has difficulty writing for POC actors well.

OMG and George Costanza is his model of a successful dater and attractive middle aged man. Bless his heart.

I also went to BC and graduated several years ago.

I guess the hookup culture is good if what you're looking for is casual one-night stands. I respect that, although it's not my thing. What bothers me is the attitude many seem to hold that you go about it by getting freshman girls drunk. Some guys, definitely not all, but some have a predatory sort of attitude about

BC does not have greek life, and I would not say that the Church's marginalization of women has an effect on day-to-day life. In my experience, your experience at the school is only as religious as you want your experience to be. The "jock culture" may play a role, but it is likely due to the hook-up culture, which

BC is a bastion of white male privilege. There's your explanation.

I'm a woman attending BC right now. We don't actually have Greek life, but I wouldn't take that as a sign that we're not full of fratty hook-up culture. The school also enforces its Jesuit Ideals on campus. There's been controversy in the past year over a non-affiliated group distributing condoms to students, because

BC does not have Greek life, actually — part of the Jesuit thing. And because BC is Jesuit specifically, it is actually a very social justice-oriented place; there is a lot of emphasis on reflection and service. Also, BC is hosting a symposium on women in the Church next month.

Hi, I did go to BC and I would say that these results are pretty accurate and something many of my friends and I noticed throughout my senior year. I'm not sure whether or not this is something only found at BC, but it's definitely an issue on campus. Also, just to clarify, BC does not have any Greek life.

I'm disappointed that Jezebel didn't go a step further to point out what SOME mobilized young women are doing on their own campus to combat this issue. Specifically, creating an I AM THAT GIRL chapter. IATG is an organization designed to empower women to healthy self-esteem and authentic self-worth through organizing

How about keeping shit private, Kate Gosselin? Who the fuck moves into the woods after being on a reality show because everything went well?

NOT to be confused with:

I see Hanna Rosin as feminism's arch nemesis. She presents herself as a feminist but she is absolutely fucking clueless and it's hurting women of all classes a great deal, but especially women who don't fall into her income bracket. And she's dangerous because people think she knows what she's talking about.
