Hell, you don’t even seem that interested in them - you didn’t give us a hint of what they are.

Jezebel has an established history of hiring writers and editors who have openly exhibited homophobia, transphobia, slut-shaming, body-shaming, violent misogyny, rape apology, and myriad other shockingly problematic views, privately and in print. This is a website that hired and kept on staff a man (Hugo Schwyzer) who…

The fact that you would rather read this site than talk to the women in your life directly about the issues they face as women and how you might be able to listen and try to understand and help them, combined with your concern over your colleague who got fired for being openly sexist at work speaks volumes about the…

yeah, her need to basically brag about how nothing ever offends her (i guess because she’s one of the cool girls who know just to laugh everything off because she has the privilege of not actually being harmed by discrimination directly in her life most of the time) really struck me as crass, insensitive, and…

It’s super weird and gross, eh? I really don’t understand it.

Considering Jez relies so much on their readership/commenters, it’s interesting that at every turn their writers try to show just how much they don’t care/actively hate the opinions of the women and minorities that read here.

Sorry, but TL:DR. The quality just wasn’t good enough for me to stomach the rest... I stopped at the point you were defending those 3 terrible posts.... because I realise that Feministing has never disappeared up its own ass like this, and I’ve never seen it commit these easily-avoidable mistakes. Then I realised how…

Thank you. This post was strictly WTF/TL/DR for me. Here as usual for the comments.

I’m probably going to stay gray, but what the heck let me weigh in:

When I was younger, a guy at work said something very similar to me; a few other coworkers told me it was no big deal, and I was too scared of the social/career ramifications to report it. For every guy who gets too harshly punished, you can bet there’s multiple ones that got away.

I see this as quite clearly meant to rile up the “easily offended” bunch and a) prove your point and b) get massive clicks (and let’s be honest b will always outweigh a here).

Agreed. I may need to take a second whack at this article, because the thesis of it is obscure for me, and it really shouldn’t be.

You have women in your life you love and want to help, but you are more concerned about the dude in your company who got fired for being a sexist pig. How ironic.

Yes -and part of me understand their reasoning especially in context to this article; proclaiming yourself directly as a feminist site opens you up immensely to all sorts of criticism and backlash. This is an article about someone talking about the problems of editing a feminist blog but technically, they don’t…

Jesus this is just... laughable, from the very first sentence. Jia, you have *absolutely no idea* what feminism is (clue: Jezebel is not a feminist anything).
