It’s always baffling to me the disconnect between how Jezebel commenters view themselves when it comes to race, and how reliabily racist they are EVERY SINGLE TIME a black woman writes her opinion about racism on this site. I never see the commenters more rude, dismissive or patronizing than in the comments section of…

Filling our brains with useful information is boring. Don’t feel bad about putting a little trash in there, it will compost and make fertile ground for the good stuff.

Sorry, can’t take a comment about doing “more research” seriously when you clearly did not read my entire piece, lol!

Maria, thank you - from an adoptive mom - for treating this subject fairly and not jumping on the villagers with torches bandwagon just because you can. One of the things outsiders frequently miss about the larger world of adoption is the idea that no one should knowingly take on a child they cannot care for. When my…

Stewart explained that The Daily Show had a blind hiring policy, which at the time producers thought meant no one could accuse them of being racist or sexist.

I admit I haven’t delved deep into TERF-world but I do know women who are to the left politically and definitely identify as feminists, who don’t have an issue with trans identity, are in favour of full rights for trans people, don’t use any of those code words. They just think feminism is for cis women and trans…

Gosh, I hate when media outlets decide to pretend that the work “always sucked” when someone is revealed to be awful. Like, I think it’s impossible to “separate the art from the artist” and that all their work is now forever tainted, but I feel like trying to pretend it wasn’t good or that only stupid people liked it…

The combination of correctness and excellent HP references in this post make me very happy. Well done. 

What I got from this is- Rowling has an irrational fear of predatory cis men pretending to be trans in order to go into the women’s restrooms and target their next victims (there is no evidence for this and is therefore not an actual threat). Which she admits herself is because she is a survivor of domestic abuse and…

And now Emma Watson, who played what is widely regarded as Rowling’s self-insert, has very much come out against this shite.

She didn’t need to do any of this. She could have just kept quiet in whatever Scottish castle she lives in surrounded by her billions. For the past few years she seems to have transformed into a literary kooky aunt sharing critical information about the Harry Potter world that borders on bad fan fiction that like, I…

I don’t disagree that class is an issue. I don’t disagree that there are no perfect victims. I don’t even disagree that she has lived a hard and sad life.

You know, I can understand how, at first glance, the NYT piece can read as classist.

Agreed - it’s probably to do with when Gawker died, but I can string it back to all my favs leaving: Tracie, Kara Brown, Lindy ... granted many of them went on to bigger and better things, but they haven’t been replaced with voices that bring me back like they did. 

I didn’t watch the R Kelly one and my husband put on this one without really asking me, so it was just kind of on when I went in. I took about as much of it as I could. I don’t think it’s necessary for everyone to watch all of these, especially if we’ve lived it. You don’t ever need to watch it and you certainly don’t…

Jezebel is now just an outrage machine.  All the good editorial content, all the humour, all gone.  I honestly hate this site and it once meant so much to me.  I agree with you.  Everything the article claims it doesn’t do, I believe it does, but does so wisely so they can keep telling stories and not be bogged down…

I was with you riiiight up until the very end where Issa walks home alone. The entire time I thought she was falling for a trap, and I hated Lawrence’s smarmy looks every time he laid a trap and she walked right into it. But the moment she decided to walk home alone, didn’t beg him to stay, didn’t beg him for closure,…

I like to give these folks my favorite set of number-pairs...not that it actually helps...

But I’ve learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world,” she says.

Disappointed (but not surprised) in the lack of empathy shown by this piece and the commenters. Depression is a physiological condition that, like any other, is eased by status but certainly not nullified by it. Rich beautiful white woman can and do get and die from cancer. They can and do and get and die from…
