Read "smiting", saw "smiling". Eeeeeven creepier.

WE ARE SOUL MATES.

Look, I've been following Rebecca for a long time, since she was a commentor on GT and Jez. I honestly cannot even remotely understand how you came to that conclusion about what she said. She's one of the few authors on this site that engages with the comments section frequently, she's generally a pleasant person…

One person called her an idiot. I went through every single response to her (two, besides Rebecca) and every single response to Rebecca and that was the only instance of any name calling that I could find.

It's not. It's really not. At all. They put chocolate in there.

If you honestly think that words like rubber necking and voyeurism can be used without an aspect of personal or moral judgement at the people they're leveled at, you and I have different understandings of how people communicate in subtext. This is not a deep reading of her post, it's saying that the words she used…

I....never said she was? I said that articles like this (that involve what most of us consider inexplicable actions by a woman taking the lives of infants or fetuses) are a great time to talk about those subjects, mostly because they inevitably come up. Not because she has PPD or needed access to mental health care,…

I'd suggest you look into the browser extension, for sure. I have one installed that blocks all mentions of Miley Cyrus, Macklemore, and the Kardashians.

Given that I imagine this isn't the first time (today, even) that Rebecca has dealt with someone using this exact tactic, that waffles009 is the one that started with the name slinging ("rubber necking" most certainly is a judgement) and that her core point that dictating what women are and aren't allowed to talk/care…

You may want to look into using an RSS feed reader or something similar, then you can control what you see. There are browser extensions that will search for specific words and block out content. I'm not trying to be rude, but frankly it's not the job of any content provider to filter to any individual's specific…

Oops, sorry! Totally misinterpreted that.

Huh. I did ETA my post and Slay pointed out the Jez contact page isn't correct, but what do I know? xD

Let me see if I can find Burt's comment and make sure I'm remembering right. I was pretty sick this week, it could have been a fever dream.

Burt came over to GT the other day and encouraged us to send an email to report Jez trolls and I'm pretty sure she pointed towards Slay's contact info. If you go to the Jez contact page, the commenters@jezebel.com email is still the one listed for moderation.

I have so many conflicting emotions about this that the only correct response is this gif.

Thanks for the insight! I figured that was the case, but it's nice to know the organization was respectful.

I'm aware that the people on this list do a lot more than I do and are likely already very public about their activities, I just can't help but sort of marvel at the logistics and personal politics of it.

Oh, I'm aware. But (to use the only concrete example I can think of, myself) I volunteer at and donate a lot of money/items to a nonprofit that benefits the LGBTQ community where I live. But like...95% of the people who know me don't know that about me. My employer doesn't, my family doesn't. And I'm definitely…
