Thank you for pointing this out. It’s shenanigans like this that are the reason why I only visit Jezebel once in a blue moon. 

That's a solid transphobic statement there. 

This is very sadly on-brand for Jezebel’s coverage of Kamala Harris.

She’s big mad because Bernie didn’t win.

yeah, this is not cute

Okay, so can we get a promise from Jezebel not to tank her and Biden both with the “Kamala is a cop” stuff?! Lots riding on this ticket, folks.

While I’m at it, I’ve always hated that she gets a pass for drugging and then stealing from men while she was stripping. No man would get that pass. She could have killed someone, it could have hurt them in a lot of ways, but she didn’t care. And I don’t care that the men were seeing a stripper, as long as everyone is…

When the LA Times published, “It’s ‘The Bachelor: Campaign Trail.’ Which of Biden’s veep candidates deserves the rose?,” they deservedly received a lot of backlash for publishing such a sexist piece. They even apologized. I’m disappointed to see this trope used again here.

She did. Though her response, I’m bi so I can’t be transphobic is specious because we know transphobia exists in the LGBTQ community. Her rant that have we seen how homophobic the Caribbean is gives me I have a black friend vibes, and her identity as an openly bi woman doesn’t give her a pass either, because bi women…

Him having sex with other consenting adults, the so-called “first issue,” is a complete non-issue. 18-year-olds can have sex with whoever they want, even people older than them. Crazy, I know.

That’s not true. Lots of universities as big or bigger than UMass prohibit faculty relationships with undergrads. Off the top of my head, Michigan State and UMich both do. (Michigan’s policy is, like, an insane masterwork of trying to translate the messiness of human relationships to legalese.)

The complaints are that he matched with people on dating apps. He DMd people (not explicitly stated to be sexual). And he had sex with people at his institution (which is only an issue at his institution if he has power over them).

As someone who works in academia, although currently a national research institute, I cannot put in to words how instantly infuriated I become by someone trying to excuse knowingly having sexual interactions with students of their college, even if they do not teach particular students. It is such a bad situation and…

That’s from this (paywalled) Boston Globe story. 

The only one that is squicky to me is the second issue.

Wait, hasn’t one dude who came forward said they had no idea he was the mayor? 

Uh, Weiner sent unsolicited pics to adults and minor(s). The closest this guy has done is add “Close Friends” and DM in instagram. Which, in College Political Group circles, direct conversations isn’t anything in particularly out of the norm.

“I am simply highlighting the fact that I am being held to a different standard...”

Or the thing that made Rome so wildly successful for 400 years- incredibly low standards for gaining citizenship. In fact the tightening of these restrictions resulted in a failure to fully assimilate the various Germanic peoples into the empire and the sacking of Rome itself.

My cousin was absolutely obsessed with Rachel Ray (Wachel Way) when he was little and now my aunt, who was an indifferent cook, is really good. So, thank you, Wachel Way.
