"I really don't get a torture porn vibe at all."

Wait for season 3. There's a storyline that's basically Saw.

You disagree?

The solution to societal stigma around female emotion isn't discovering a PMS analogue in men; it's in understanding emotions culturally, instead of trying to naturalize and medicalize them.

The guy posting the comment clearly doesn't speak English as a first language. Chinese actually uses that language structure—subject, then something about it. A literal translation of Chinese sentences into English does sound like Yoda's speech.

Chinese slang, I believe.

If you can't tell the difference sexism and a misspelling, I don't know what to say to you.

I think of "concern trolling" as "feigning concern about something, particularly relating to tone, as a way of undermining it." I see the argument that "feminism would be so much mor effective if you were more reasonable, not like those crazy feminazis" as a way to delegitimize radical feminists.

Careful. A RT is not an endorsement; I know plenty of people who RT terrible things to show that people actually believe this. (That's basically what this post is doing.) Don't assume that just because someone RT'd something, they agree with it.

Exactly. It's concern-trolling.

Who wouldn't be interested in hearing that story?

I imagine there's some self-selection, no? The "bitchy" types may not be friends with you. (That's a credit to you.) And they're certainly not going to be posting on Jez.

Gawker (well, AJ) also wrote a thing about Cat during Sandy: http://updates.gawker.com/post/347722473…

That's not how it works. If the book sucks and her royalties total less than $500,000, then she only gets the advance. If the book becomes a bestseller and makes more than $500,000 in royalties, then she gets the advance plus the extra. An advance is not a loan.

Yes, and that's why Patton is wrong. Even if privileged white women in college were better off following her advice than fighting to "tear down the male power structure," that would not be an indictment of feminism. Feminism (at least third-wave feminism) is not, fundamentally, about doing whatever you want. It's…

The feds were seeking these two. It's obvious from the story that the Post was quoting from an internal email (probably from the FBI) saying that they wanted to identify these two men. The feds didn't say they were suspects and cleared them as soon as they met with them, but the Post is *technically* not wrong that…

That's not PUA. Advice from Terri Trespicio (who for some reason contributes to Jez) is PUA: http://territrespicio.com/how-to-happen-…

The other one was so bad it wasn't even posted on Jezebel. It's literally a PUA guide. As in, she actually cites "The Game."

"So you’re talking, laughing, having a nice back and forth. Now leave. Not forever. Just for now. This is the hard part, because everything in you is telling you to plant a flag and stake him out…

Exactly. The idea that "you should get rejected three times tonight" treats the people you're hitting on like objects, just there for you to hit on. It doesn't matter whether the person you ask out is interesting or whether you like their personality or anything like that, because they're not a person. They're just an…

I felt like this one had some PUA overtones, too.

" Sure, random shit happens—but I take random situations and turn them in my favor (and sometimes I get rejected—which you should be doing, too). I go after what I want or snag it as it passes by, whether it’s someone I meet at a party or the dude who’s teaching me to…

That movie just exudes ’90s. And I love it.
