Well, this is disappointing to say the least because I’ve been reading Jez precisely because I’m tired of hearing the same old white middle-class thinking and opinions on everything IRL. Let’s just say that the Trump voting percentages for white people have me giving everyone I know the side eye. 

Strong agree on all points. I’m a longtime lurker and there are some commenters whose perspectives I really miss. Watching some of the commenter drama go down in the last month or so has made the issues with the current system even more apparent to me than usual, and every time I see someone saying something about…

Yeah, unfortunately, there’s a history of it. And it makes me feel gross sometimes because I love jez and the community it offers. I’m not white and I’ve been pretty vocal about the issues that effect me, which are addiction and incarceration. It’s hard because I think a lot of commenters here are middle class, which…

I so wish wish the jez community was able to moderate ourselves. There’s a lot of commenters that I miss. And the history of banning of POC on here should be a black mark on this site forevermore.

shit can get passed on even without visible symptoms

Reusable pads are a thing too. And sea sponge tampons that are reusable. Also period panties. There are options for people who can’t use cups for whatever reasons.

My experience to OBs were a little different.

So the problem is, almost nothing is flushable, even if it says it is. Even those flushable baby wipes aren’t. The only reason TP is flushable is because it just about dissolves in liquid...something you don’t want to happen to your period products, since they need to stay intact and hold the liquid.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

Seriously though, it seems even more telling that Dunham characterized his lines as a “massive insult of white women” rather than a fairly tame insult towards her character/show (and clueless hipsters like her) specifically.

The way things are going, in 20 years that won’t be a typo.

Yeah, people like to bash him here on Jezebel, but he was one of the first modern male directors to acknowledge that men were hypocritical assholes for judging women’s sexuality.
