I thought it was supposed to be the ICan'tStopMyselfTM story of how women pick shitty but hot guys while passing up not creepy guys that would have made good partners. You know, the story that women tell each other. "Why do we keep picking the shitty guy?" (cf. Cosmo) So not the manipulative tactics of some dude. Keep…

"every hetero male nerd"?
That probably won't be super hilarious when women start turning up with more glaucoma than they'd like.
The thing I like about Jezebel is that there's no overarching consistency and everyone is allowed to write whatever they think.
Just because you don't think it's about men doesn't mean it's not about men.
Everything wins everything.
Earlier today we were supposed to feel bad because someone objectified the comedian Melissa McCarthy by yelling "you're pretty" at her.
She's going up there to tell jokes, and what you think of her appearance has nothing to do with anything.
You don't have the privilege of getting to be on a stage to entertain people without having to hear stupidly sexist, reductionist bullshit about how you need to display your body for the pleasure of others.
You're totally right. When women objectify men we should just shut up about it. Like on Jezebel they often objectify athletes, who are just trying to be athletes. But that's a completely different thing than objectifying women who are trying to be comedians. Because men LIKE being objectified. Right?
They said hypocritically.
So the lesson then: If you have enough money sexism doesn't matter to you. At least it doesn't matter as far as limiting your options. It still matters in that creepy guys are perving on you and 14 year olds are dressing like you did at the VMAs, but none of that matters because you can buy things you like and do…
If I sound that way you're not reading what I'm saying. I suspect your misreading says something about your own preconceived notions about persecution.
That you accuse me of claiming someones rape or sexual assault was false, when I clearly never have, just contributes to this culture of persecution that I guess you enjoy wallowing in. Read more Jezebel.
Are you actually suggesting that these are the only examples of rape culture
Yes, clearly I've said nothing at all about anything except men's suffering.
why not simply take a stand against rape...rather than the idea of rape culture?
I do err on the side of social justice. For instances I think it's wrong for people to be manipulated into thinking things are worse than they are as a way for Gawker Media to make money. Rage makes clicks, clicks make cash. Yet you rarely see anything on here about things going well for women (unless they are…
They can certainly continue to occur, there is just some point at which we can't call our culture a Rape Culture if it is only some decreasing section of the population that continues in that behaviour. It seems to me that things are getting better and although I'm not urging anyone to ignore cases where it does, I…
