"She blogs under a pseudonym" - like, are you fucking serious, lady? You have the most boring bio in the entire world, and then you tell us that you blog under a pseudonym. You aren't a UN weapons inspector, you're a bored single white girl from the South. Get your shit together or rewrite your bio, preferably both,…

I'm in the greys but I'm going to let rip anyway. What a self-indulgent, egotistical load of whining, spoilt little princess claptrap from a money grubbing ingrate who is more concerned with Mommy sending money to her than Mommy's own time and support. Guess what Princess Broken Heart? Your friends and family aren't…

Oh, I'm probably just projecting my insecurities. But 16 paragraphs later, I didn't want to go to the movies with her, much less live with her.

Nothing her boss said was fucked up. It was entirely appropriate and correct. Keep your personal shit out of the office. That's true for everyone.

I mean... I wasn't going to be the one to say it... but.... yeah.

I'm starting to get a sense of why the boyfriend broke up with her.

That made my skin crawl. "I will never turn down financial contributions from my parents" — really? Especially after going on about how amazingly successful she is?

Yup. "Send money" as advice for her mother post breakup. Well, that's... something. I'm not sure she even wants comfort to begin with.

Let alone what this has to do in any capacity with feminism, which is supposedly what jezebel is about. The line between jezebel and a women's supermarket magazine is dwindling rapidly.

Same here, I read these and thought, "What is so bad?" The workplace one, I could almost see, but, while it's unfair that what the boss said is probably true - it's also probably true. I think all of the people quoted, including the boss, are just doing their best to try to be there for the author.

Right. I'm okay with people trying to be genuinely sensitive even if they get it wrong but expecting the greater world to know the perfect thing to say for one's unique needs is a little too much to ask for. I agree that some of those things people do like to hear and, for certain people, some of them need to be…

its like my super attractive/happy go lucky/well to do acquaintance who thinks its the end of the world when she happens to experience a set back.

I'm sorry to say this, but nobody cares about your breakup. You're only writing this on Jezebel because all of your actual friends and family are tired of hearing about it. You're complaining about your friends who are trying their best to console you and your boss who is just being honest. Nobody wants to work with…

Everything Doug Barry writes is an insensitive mess.

I'm a little upset that it's not mentioned that Jezebel also messed up in how this was addressed.

Well this took long enough.

Yup. If these issues are news to white feminists on Jez, that should be a serious wake-up call.

Yes this is it,

She said AHEM. Is that not enough?

My favorite is this:
