I'm sorry, were you talking to me? I was looking at pictures of shoes on Pinterest. You know. Where ladies go. For their lady interests.
So a pretty common troll retort around these parts is 'why don't you do something to help people out in real life instead of just complaining on the internet?' I've seen some variation of this cry tons of times over the years. I literally just got a response along this line last week.
Full disclosure: I'm only pretending to be a man. I'm actually a footstool.
Sooooo, he proved that people on Jezebel are decent human beings. Wow. Score one for the MRA team... amirite.
I don't want to like Drake dammit, but with this and his tunafish bagel video I kind of do like him. Also being a vocal coach sounds like a really really fun job. I would love to drink Drake's $1000 champagne while forcing bottled water on him.
I love her, too. She became the face of Estée when I was in high school, and I wanted to be her when I grew up so badly. She and Rosemary McGrotha (who was the face of Donna Karan back then) told these amazing stories about womanhood and its possibilities through little more than print ad campaigns. If I were a…
Articles like this- well-researched, nuanced, adding historical context to today's topics, sharply analyzed, and well-written- are my favorite part of the Jez: The Next Generation

The Boxer and pretty much everything else by Simon and Garfunkel. But especially The Boxer.
Fade into You by Mazzy Star. Le sigh.
From the article:
I correct every news-story/headline I see where a woman is identified as a Mother but not a Woman. Because it's never relevant to the article/headline at hand. If it were a story about giving birth, fine. But it never is. "Area mom injured in car accident" "Mother of 3 to chair Board of Education" "Nobel Prize won by…
I'm not trying to undervalue the debate here, because, yeah, it definitely sucks that moms from a certain background are supposed to make "mom" their whole identity and dads are allowed to have complex identities in addition to being dads. It's worth talking about, for sure. But it's also worth pointing out that this…
Do also have friends who go on a diet, and that's all they talk about? Do you have friends who are into fitness programs, and that's all they talk about? Do you have academic friends would love academic gossip, and that's all they talk about? People talk about their main project a lot. Mothers are often singled out as…
I also know they leave the house and meet for drinks and no one is asking them if they are a table of "dads on the loose," and to my knowledge, there is no "Daddy Juice" Wine.
