Welcome to Jezebel 2022, folks.

Could be. Last week I commented that I can’t see any business rationale to continue Jezebel into another tax year. Everyone knows Jez will be a writedown and tax loss eventually.  Why not now?

Unfortunately, this clearly screams of Jezebel being on the herb chopping block.

Might want to edit the pronouns. Author is on Twitter throwing a tantrum about these comments, and being “misgendered” may be their only valid complaint.

I believe the sentence may have meant, “I wrote about women’s professional football of the 1970s and 1980s the same way I reported on women’s professional baseball, which was active two decades before that.” (I thought women’s pro baseball started in the early 1940s, which would have been about three decades earlier…

Nothing to do with this article...Did Jezebel kick the can and not say anything? 

I was a bit curious about the author’s age (it’s 36, apparently)...I mean, we’re not talking about someone who got married to a man in the 1950's because that’s just what you did, and queers can just get back in the closet. I’m guessing that the wedding was sometime this century, maybe even after the nationwide…

You  know when you start to resent your partner not for doing anything in particular but for the simple fact that they’re not right for you, for whatever reason. What’s missing from the article is the moment you realise that it’s on you, not them, and you’re misdirecting your frustration. I assumed that’s where the…

Jezebel doesn’t have editors lol

What an odd piece with a lot of ambiguity. Without more info, it sounds like the author married a cishet man knowing they were queer, and presumably with him knowing they were queer, and then the author resented that arrangement for not letting them be “queer” enough despite fully knowing that’s not how queerness…

I’m not sure there’s a strong basis for everything you’re saying-is it possible you’re filling in missing details on your own?

If we didn’t have a picture of the author I’d honestly wonder if this wasn’t a fake Dear Prudence style submission designed to test the tension Jezebel’s readership would face between recognizing how poorly this reads in terms of how they treated their husband but not wanting to drag a queer person going through a…

Oh this should be interesting in the comments. This almost sounds like something from r/amitheasshole.

PR person here: “I was unhappy, and I didn’t know why. I had great kids and a great wife and a great career. It was inconceivable to me that I was unhappy given all I had. I fell into a crisis of self-doubt, self-destruction and alcohol. I’ve learned since that THIS is what depression and addiction feel like. Since…

To me it isn’t as much that he’s blaming his marriage and kids as he is saying he was depressed and unhappy and using alcohol as a way to avoid making difficult decisions regarding his marriage. He was depressed and self-medicated with alcohol which is not terribly uncommon. I know it’s popular to dog on Affleck but I…

Okay, nevermind Chipotle. I’ve actually never eaten there and have no plans to.

Wait how did you not get the message at all?! It is clear as day and I got it the first minute of it. And the style and aesthetic of the short film is really charming. The fact that you cannot appreciate any of it is really sad. I think Kacey’s performance on the soundtrack was appropriate even if it’s nothing too spec…

The original Chipotle/Coldplay/Willie Nelson mashup from 2011 was more effective. But it’s a cute concept and Chipotle paying lip service to sustainable business practices isn’t the worst thing they could spend their marketing dollars on.

I think this trope dates to Heatcliff in Wuthering Heights, and probably even further back. I seem to recall there used to be someone on staff at Jezebel that had a PhD in English Lit - this would have been a good one for them to bring some depth to.

There is a difference, and a crucial one: these people do eventually vaxx their kids, just later. That’s a HUGE fucking difference with anti-vaxxers who will never get the shot or get their kids the shot.
