"Dick" and "pussy" should be equivalent, but there's more social trepidation around mention of female genitals. So society won't allow "dick" a female equivalent. "Cock" is a word mainly used by white girls, and it has more of an overtly sexual connotation than "dick." "Cunt" isn't really permitted in America (where…

"That argument, while it's sure to drive men's rights activists and fans of the penal system into a crimson-faced rage..."

It also might not sit well with all people who aren't completely prejudice.

You're right. Unfortunately, I think, this is how the uneducated mainstream understands feminism, and it isn't countered often enough. In fact, stuff like this shows why that perception (though skewed) isn't unfounded. AMERICA IS A REVENGE CULTURE, and it would be good for progressive social movements in the spotlight…

Ilan Mitchell-Smith is fifteen in that Weird Science photo. You see no problem with objectifying teenagers?

As I perceive it, there is a divide in feminist ranks over this issue. It seems disingenuous and opportunistic to relegate this to a "right wing" complaint, even if that's where it originated. It's okay for the left wing to not agree on everything, and in this case, they don't.

Simone always seemed cool on her show, but reveals herself by reiterating tired stereotypes. "Yeah, Tinder is the absolute worst. I have never had any use for it." Paraphrased, but check yo self.

This would have been exciting news once, but now Taylor Swift is the greatest satirist of our time!

You have a very black-and-white view of gender differences, which reads as spiteful despite the professed enlightenment. It's healthy that you're able to move on after being rejected, but you don't speak for all other women, or... well, I can't point out the obvious.

The term "friendzone" became less accepted when its…

Men and women are equally shallow. Though they sometimes express their shallowness differently, they're alike in most ways.

Lets review: Lena Dunham made a shirt with her name next to a heart, and Planned Parenthood written on it, and then Instagramed a bunch of celebrities wearing it. Okay, carry on.

A huge part of the power of popular culture is that it allows people to connect to experiences and lives that aren't their own. At least it should. Many times, mass culture could stand to diversify.

Just apologize, or else you're a self-pitying creep.

It's not a matter of age, just of intelligence. Excessive profanity is a strained effort to express oneself forcefully. It's always annoying when writers (or, in this case, advertisers exploiting kids) use it for shock value. It has none. You're not edgy.

"Look at how crazy Amanda Bynes is! She's losing her mind! This is amazing!... Oh, Amanda Bynes is now in a really dire state. Oh. This is incredibly sad, guys."

We've all seen this "celebrity news" jig a hundred times.

I don't know what it means, exactly. But somehow, it completely encapsulates what some people find annoying about Anne Hathaway.

Correct. All intelligent people believe in gender equality. It's when so-called "nice guys" (i.e.. guys who have typically not gotten a lot of dates, but at least held on to knowing that they respected others and treated them well) started to be called out on their "entitlement" (as though that isn't something…

That's true. Knausgaard was dissed in a Slate article, and praised on Twitter by Joyce Carol Oates (who has been unfairly criticized on this site), but most pumpkin spice-drinkers have no idea who he is.

On the one hand, this is better written than almost every other article in Jezebel history (Tolentino doesn't think "Ugh" is an acceptable sentence, or resort to a lot of buzz word-heavy phrases). But the writing style really doesn't feel natural. It's trying a bit too hard, and you can hear the struggle.

You're right. Class and race are intersectional, but we risk losing sight of how that's defined the present. American slavery allowed for the class-advantage of rich white men (and quite a few rich white women), thereby "othering" black people in the eyes of the rest of the poor. This helped hatred and Plutocracy to…

Try again until I agree with you? Sorry, no.
