It's hard to watch something that was truly gamechanging back in the day when you are now watching its offshoots and influences. There was NOTHING on TV that remotely compared to the X Files when it first came out; now you can see its marks over entire cable networks.
If there was a blanket "Don't respond to comments" policy, it might be easier to swallow, but if you look, Rebecca is down here in the comments section responding to more innocuous comments. These writers are smart people with good consciences and evident pride in their work. The utter (UTTER!) lack of a response to…
Yes, but not it's no longer "OMG, you're wearing bare legs!!! Put on some nylons!" the way it was until the Naughties.
"But Alex can confirm at least some of what Miranda told a reporter .... 'Miranda said she was a member of a "gang" "
I admit I find it very hard to take them seriously now . . .
That was the most shocking part of this for me. I've had some experience with pathological young people, and lying about being in a Satanic cult and/or murder are sadly fairly common. Never seen a parent that gungho about punishment, though.
Three days later they abruptly quit their jobs—he worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant, she as a checkout girl at a grocery store
No, really. Please, keep trying to pretend Jezebel never attacked her for her Vogue cover and were castigated by virtually the entire feminist blogosphere for doing so. It's really not awkward at all for anyone to watch you all pretend you're besties with her.
This is just too surreal. At least you have to give Jezebel credit for stunning consistency IN COMPLETELY IGNORING THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. Apparently, not a single Jezebel author or editor will ever acknowledge what a massive fuck-up the Vogue cover stunt was. I wonder if individual authors/editors feel ashamed…
I think the most radical thing Lena Dunham is doing is not really giving a shit what you think about her. She's "fat," she wears unflattering clothes, she is pale, blargh, blargh,blargh - who cares. The character of Hannah is just as angst-ridden and narcissistic as any standardly pretty person. In other words,…
I was a competitive figure skater for fifteen years. I competed under the new International Judging System fairly extensively. I cannot, for the life of me, tell you why Kim Yu-Na was not at the top of the podium. There is literally no reason. Sotnikova did not become a better skater overnight, and every justification…
Hey, remember that time Jezebel offered $10,000 for un-retouched photos of Dunham? No? Is this thing on?
Completely agree. A lot of the tone is the "I know I'm wrong so I'm just going to keep digging this grave I've started" variety.
Jezebel's editorial tone has taken the oddest turn in these last few months. It certainly doesn't seem like a community where women are able to critique or disagree with the content. And it takes so long for my posts to be published - if ever - that I lose interest and move on.
Honestly, after what Jez did to her in regards to Vogue....I have more respect for her anyway.
Why have you twice dismissed my comment pointing out how, in this same interview, Dunham discussed the $10,000 airbrushing bounty?
You're not going to mention how, in this same interview, Dunham said about this?

No mention of her calling out this website's bullshit?
