Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H, Bob Dole, EVEN GEORGE W (but not necessarily his puppet masters) were more progressive, less looney tunes, etc. etc. etc. than these women-hating slime-monsters. How did the GOP even get to this point?

I like it that you point this out. . . . I actually hated Sex and the City when it came out. . . .then loved it. . . .now (as many do) kinda dislike it. Mostly for the brash materialism than anything else. But, there are several great things about that show—and many are not common (at least at that time). Women who…

This. And why do people do it? Some men do it because they’re misogynists, through and through. Women do it too though. And I just don’t get it. I think it’s related to how much pleasure people get out of “Stars without makeup” (look at how ugly!!!) and, weirdly, victim-blaming. I swear I see the same shit written on…

Yeah. . . .and even if she weren’t . . . .it’s so unnecessarily cruel. And encourages hateful opinions of women. I Hate Maxim.

I was done with the world when Maxim called her the “least sexiest woman.” Who the fuck even does that? Like, what? What? WHAT?

You realize you’re reading a blog, right? People go to the newyorker for one kind of writing and to jezebel for a whole different kind of writing. People come here precisely for this kind of tone.

I didn’t know this before reading this HuffPo piece, but, yeah, it can really hurt them. :(

I do too. Even in all those videos of them having sex with shoes. I’m being completely serious. They even make shoe-sex adorable. I hope you don’t think I’m trolling in turtle-porn. I really do think this is adorable.

If you ever just need to feel some happiness, I suggest google-imagining manatees. Immediately. Like, I mean, LOOK AT THIS GUY:

I haven’t seen it. Are you a fan of Nirvana? I’m not. . . . .particularly. . . . .so, I guess I’m asking if you think it’s a good documentary on its own, regardless of one’s personal interest in Nirvana.

Yes: ewwwwwww. But, no, disagree! your comment should not be erased forever! How the heck are you supposed to have a catalogue of the stupid shit Courtney Love has said? What you were expressing was empathy for someone with mental-health/drug issues. While these issues do lead to objectively horrible parenting, we…

Yeah. . . . I can even have sympathy for things like “taking heroin while pregnant” (b/c I feel like such a horrible action involves very little choice—and more mental illness/addiction). . . .but, like, no. I think Love said, like A YEAR ago, some bullshit about how Cobain killed himself because he just couldn’t…

Yeah, Randilyn makes a good point. Below, is an excerpt from an interview I just found. . . . it’s infuriating (“men with tits”), interesting, and inspires a vague amount of respect (in that he is honest—and that he knows he needs women in order to write women). He definitely comes off as a dick. But we all know he’s…

Hi there. I feel like you’re implying that I should have already read these articles? I don’t know. I think the tone of your response is a bit harsh. But that’s not really here nor there. I’m glad you linked to these articles and I think they both make extremely excellent points—ones I’ve thought about before, but…

Fun fact? When NBC was making one (of many) attempts to cancel Homicide, the NAACP stepped in—which I think was a first:

I haven’t read any of his books. . . . .but I thought he had great female characters on both Homicide and The Wire. On Homicide, Melissa Leo’s character was one of the best detectives (alongside Andre Braugher). On the Wire, Sonya Sohn was EVERYTHING. So much more competent than everyone around her.

First: you get comment of the day. Second—Random thought (which isn’t so much a comment about Maggie Gyllenhaal as it is about David Simon). Since Homicide, he’s been pretty good about casting non-modelesque women in his shows. I think NBC constantly pushed for more uber-hot women on Homicide, just one (of many) ways…

Also, I wanted to say thanks to you for chatting. It’s fun conversations like these that keep me coming back to Jezebel.

2010 and 2014 were freaking tragic. Just tragic. Unfortunately, I think young voters often need 1 person to be a unifying voice to unite them. Which is why so many more turn out during a presidential year. (Or at least did in 2008).

I KNOW, right. One of the most refreshing things (among many) of the Obama presidency is how refreshingly candid he is. (Although I know, I know, I’m sure he tells his fair share of lies). But I love it that he is just like, look, this is super complex, it’s super hard. Whereas so many other politicians follow the old…
