It was a joke, Brendan is a Jezebel writer.

No lie, this site has taught me so much about the daily struggles of being a woman. I would be way less empathetic without Jezebel, so I think the more men reading the better.

I think she means how do you not know your own age. We all want to know.

the only way I’ve been able to survive this election cycle is by reading Jez,

print out your own sticker. Mine is the “this nasty woman voted”

In my world, it’s straight white men and (a small but completely infuriating group of) sheltered, privileged, straight, white, 20-something women who think that feminism is a bad word and that misogyny isn’t a thing because “women can already do everything men can.”

You know what? I’m sick of us trying to placate working class whites. I’m poor, have been incarcerated and have struggled with a drug problem. But I still have basic human empathy. Poor people don’t need to be infantilized. Poor POC sure as shit aren’t voting for trump. I understand the anger and I’m angry too but

Please. By 11th grade I had enough political knowledge to know that “protest voting” is nonsense, and enough basic human interaction knowledge to know that compromise is essential to making any relationship work (much less a relationship between me and my 301.3 million co-Americans). Those Deadspin writers were acting

Kara has taught me that overt shade doesn’t exist. Overt shade is reading.

It’s amazing how many people seem to think that they, specifically, are noteworthy for having misgivings about both candidates in a presidential election. As if most people haven’t felt that way in most elections for all of time. Especially since most people in this country, prior to the past 8 years or so, haven’t

Well, then you missed the hissy fitting when they got called out in the comments. Ain’t no hurt feelings like white male privilege hurt feelings.

My high school Spanish teacher’s grandfather was murdered when he tried to vote. She hunted down each and every one of us as we turned 18, shoved voter registration forms in our hands, watched us fill them out, and then sent them in. Not voting always seemed like a pretty unconscionable decision after that.

As I’ve said in the Deadspin/Concourse comments several times at this point: if you truly have nothing to lose in this election, congratulations on your extreme privilege. The rest of us will vote based on what’s at stake for us. (that’s targeted toward the bs in that post, not you, to clarify)

Did anyone tear up a little voting today? I wasn’t expecting to get so emotional. I honestly didn’t think I’d have a chance to vote for a woman for president in my lifetime.

Because we aren’t fucking idiots.

I got halfway through the Deadspin version (and I usually like them!) before my eyes rolled out of my head and across the floor so I couldn’t read anymore.

Alex Pareene’s self-important explanation for why he may or may not deem voting in a presidential election worthy of his time was the single worst thing I have read this election season.

Thank you! Jesus Christ. Enough with the hand wringing. I don’t care to hear long-winded reasons why you’d even entertain the idea of allowing a goddamned demagogue access to the White House just so you can seem like you are some kind of reasoned voter.
