I’d go further and say even people like Trump should be viewed through this lens of “needs sympathy and needs help”

Apparently we white women are still having a hard time believing that our fellow white women can be anti-feminist and racist. I've popped into my local women's march Facebook group yesterday and today and I'm blown away by the number of white women who still think we're all on the same team and want the same things.…

Did she come from a pretty conservative family background? There’s always a few folks who go back into that after a more progressive period in their twenties, especially if they get into a conservative branch of religion that feels like home because of their childhood, or have some kind of personal crisis.

We tend believe that a break up always has a dumper and a dumpee, and that the dumpee gets to be hurt and sad but the dumper is supposed to be happy or something. But that’s silly. Everyone gets to mourn the relationship they intended to have, that they thought would be their forever. You get to be sad about the…

This is fucking devastating, and punches me in the gut as someone who grew up on a lake and saw my fair share of accidents. I hope that they have trained child psychologists who can gently and effectively question her son to get a few more details. Did she dive in the water head first? Could have hit her head and…

I know that it can always be the power of editing, but Jesus Christ those responses from Herrera. I legitimately burst out laughing a few times due to their sheer audacity.

To me, it is very telling that the best Herrera could offer to Jezebel was an email response. He is trying to duck this by copping out with an email, and doing a very poor job of it. In his email, he writes that he “would never try to reduce the significance of my Remezcla co-founders or their contributions down to a…

I would very much appreciate it if Jezebel could give a chapter by chapter accounting of what is in Bolton’s book because while I want to know the gruesome details, I don’t want to give Bolton any money towards his enterprise - information that he should have volunteered in a timely manner for free.

There is a thread floating around Twitter, which I am not linking because the author doesn’t want to deal with national attention, that explains the Kente cloths were given to the Democrats during a trip to Ghana. The trip was taken right after 45’s “shithole country” remarks drew international attention, and were…

I think it’s because you haven’t seen the full video. I’ve seen tons of police brutality videos. Generally, they’re short and if they end in death it’s from a gun shot. This was different. It was long and slow and painful and my hands kept clenching into fists wanting to reach into the screen and stop it (never had a…

I’m perplexed by why Abby Miller is still a person anybody cares about. Are people really still invested in this child-abusing, racist felon? They don’t still let her “teach” kids, do they?

Yeah, I agree. He overdosed on heroin. He was battling serious issues. She isn’t to blame for that no matter how much of a terror she may have been.

Could be. I’m not into mean-girling someone but I usually can’t connect the dots in what she’s written. Maybe I’m just too old but it feels performative. I’d like to hear what she has to say without all that. 

I am really struggling with what is going on with these Jezebel writers lately. They are just shitting on people for ridiculous reasons, blatantly missing the point, and from the comments it’s more than obvious that they are entirely out of touch with their audience. The fact that they’ve *more than once* mocked…

“You tell me” is pretty much the closest thing to /s in the spoken word. 

You both agree. Yes challenging the system often led to violent backlash from the government. But, as the LGBT and Women’s movements went more mainstream they also became incredibly whitewashed. The latest protests in these movements have taken on a cutesy, commodified air (this is great because it signifies the level…

I could be unfairly giving Ellen Pompeo the benefit of the doubt here, but it seems to me that she specifically posted this to call out the racism and hypocrisy of having excess police presence/militarization at a protest about black people dying due to racism and excessive police force. This seems like an…

At a time when we are witnessing our police become brazenly lawless against peaceful protesters, we should absolutely be screaming about all of these very alarming things that they are doing. Plus, I’m pretty sure Ellen Pompeo has previously spoken about racial justice, but go ahead with your snark, I guess.

..... Ellen, I really hope that’s a rhetorical question because the answer is extremely obvious.
