Yep. The issue the writer has isn’t “celebrity activism”, it’s specific celebrities that take positions she doesn’t agree with or aren’t radical/leftist enough.

Just popped in to say Jia sucks. Thanks for you time!
Another 4 years of Trump won’t affect her or Beyonce but the rest of the country will suffer greatly. It seems to me that you’re trying to differentiate between two celebrities because you like one and not the other but neither of them is that different from the other. They both support good causes, they both hate the…
Who exactly is comparing Jia to Joan Didion? Has this person ever read Joan Didion?
White lady feminism or just celebrity feminism ? I seriously doubt that Milano or Beyonce have to deal with the same issues on a daily basis that most women do. It certainly doesn’t affect their lives in the same way. Which doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be active on issues that are important to them. For better or…
Another fantastic piece by Joan Summers about how somebody doesn't live up to her incredibly specific standards. Is the next one going to be about how the grocery store manager didn't expertly live up to your #metoo expectations, either?
This comment is the epitome of commenting on the official blog of white lady feminism
Mariah is all of us and none of us at the same time.
I’m uncertain what your point is, beyond giving us a brief history of Milano’s public statements over the past twenty years. Is it that her activism is imperfect? Because while true of her, that is also true of every activist. Is it that there is something discordant about her moving from talking about issues she…
I don’t particularly like Alyssa Milano, but to say she was “an early spokesperson and advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness” is massively selling short what she did.
I have read Jezebel and lingered in the grays for a decade. The snark and grammatical errors that seem to be your signature are having me deeply reconsider my loyalty. I seriously wish you would reconsider using a mocking tone in every piece you write. Yes Alyssa Milano has immense amounts of white privilege but she…
I work in HR. Can confirm. We are not your friend.
HR works for management to protect the company. The sooner people realize this, the sooner you will understand the true role of your HR deparment.
There is certainly an aspect of Corporate Culture in these situations, but the biggest thing I’ve seen in being a pregnant worker is the who you manager is matters a lot more than your workplace policy. No matter how lenient your company policy is, if your manager is shitty you will likely have a terrible experience…
And if they absolutely MUST, at least restrict it to a Barf Bag bullet point instead of its own article.
Is it only racism when POCs are the target? Because The Root is littered with posters who hate white people, but I bet you have no problem with that, right?
Jezebel has become the sort of journalism they denounce. It’s a fucking joke now.
Yup. Privacy is dead. All of you are just clinging to a long-dead corpse. Pretending that privacy exists is dangerous. Absolutely keep fighting against corporations exploiting us, but at the same time, approach every interaction with a product with the knowledge that, if there’s a way for it to be collecting data…
Whoever came up with that headline is truly thoughtless. So is this article.
Amazon doesn’t care because consumers don’t care.
