I'm not one to call out every single man who criticizes feminism as an MRA (and I know a lot of people around here do that) but most self-described MRAs I've encountered use a fair bit of misogyny.

Yeah, I definitely agree

Yeah, it was a really long exchange that had lots of good information in it (I'll look around to see if I can find it) but I lost a lot of respect for Lindy West that day. And since I am not a fan of her writing style but kind of liked that she seemed to be the most culturally sensitive of the Jez writers, it kind of…

Well first they tried to stick a catheter in me, but it hurt too damn much (which indicated more of a urethral inflammation or obstruction since she only got half way through), then they had me pee and then did an ultrasound of my bladder to see if it had been emptied, and it had. On Friday I went to get an MRI (that…

Thanks for this

I just wanted to say that it's refreshing to see someone who I know has a good track record (as far as this website goes) critically and thoughtfully questioning feminism without misogyny.

So is the solution to not criticize people with such a narrow view?

Oh man, but Dunham absolutely belongs in the New Yorker.

Seriously. Feminists dismissing the concerns of less privileged people is the most ironic thing ever.

A close friend of mine made good friends with an out gay guy and months into their friendship he confessed his love for her they are now dating. Our guess was that he is a bisexual that is rarely attracted to women and wanted to be fully accepted into the gay community.

We have the same thing probably, whatever it may be. They thought it was interstitial cystitis, but since I can empty my bladder completely they don't think it is. I just got a pelvic MRI (that might be your next step if you continue to see the doctor) to see if there are any malformations in my urethra. If not, then…

Probably higher than in some other Western countries, but gun deaths are still a relatively low in the ranking of causes of death in the US. And violent crime is a general downward trend since the 90s so I don't think gun deaths are more likely than they were before.

Or you could actually read where people talk about where she has said and done racially insensitive things. But you can go ahead and keep on dismissing the concerns of people of color.

Probably because everyone has bought all the 8/10/12 before you got there because that's what size most people are!

White people telling people of color to get over racism never gets old.

Her co-writer's rant about loving using the n-word and Dunham's subsequent support of that. Her saying she felt more sympathy for the animals than the people when she traveled to India. Her excuses for not incorporating PoC in her show (if she had just said she was more interested in writing something reflective of…

Gonna have to second Evie on this one. Jezebel is massively culturally/racially insensitive and downright racist at times. Spambot9000 named two examples (and the comments on that article about the baby being called n—-er seriously reinforced what s/he is saying), another was when in a dirtbag comment thread Lindy…

Yeah, but we don't have to go to the other extreme and say the only real women are sizes 12-16. Sizes 3-11 exist in great numbers and are all real.
