I love that we finally get to be ‘brave’ for a change! Instead of ‘selfish’, ‘immature’, ‘lazy’, and all the other bizarre adjectives they love to apply to the childfree. (As if my personal reproductive choices had any bearing on these people’s lives whatsoever.)

I am childless-by-choice and I DO think, compared to the parents out there, I have a VERY carefree life. It’s just easier; I think it’s OK to admit that.

It’s hard to get past his rape scene and Marnie’s attempted suicide thereafter.

We’ve explicitly and implicitly told men that the more power they get, the more freedom they have to do whatever they want, including treating women (and children, in some cases) like sexual objects

I don’t really know how I feel about this as here in the UK it is really popular to dress as native americans for fancy dress parties and nobody bats an eye.

Sugar skulls aren’t appropriation. Seriously. Chill. I’m Latin American, we don’t care who dresses up as a Catrina or Frida Kahlo or any other Mexicana type costume. You wouldn’t be offended if someone from, say, China, dressed up as a jack o’ lantern, would you? Exactly.

Have you read Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine? It does a great job of debunking all claims with regards to innate gender-identity. There is no such thing.

Also it is very telling that these so called innate gender feelings align perfectly with the gender expressions of the culture one is born into.

Not to mention…

I’m sorry you are having to endure this much irrational abuse, but this is what Jezebel has become. A few weeks ago there was a typical Jezebel uproar over the closing of a women-only safe study space on the Michigan State University campus: http://jezebel.com/michigan-state-university-closes-womens-study-lounge-af-178…

I must say that the rhetoric of transactivists initially confused me. They make it very clear the proper term is trans-gender and not trans-sexual. (That fact that human beings can’t actually change sex is a different discussion)

But gender is a social construct build from stereotypes of how the majority of people in…

There are some very very valid reasons for not wanting men in women’s bathrooms because they “feel” like women. Men commit most of the violence against women for one. So strange how the Jezebel robot community is 100 percent for anything that erases women’s identities, autonomy, and space. Someday we will look back on…

Libertarians are angry babies, they want all the freedumbs without the responsibilities of real citizens.

Hmmm I think you may need some context here.

I’m surprised this piece mentions Tarantino’s “Hateful Eight” (brilliant film, by the way, if you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and SEE IT!), but not “Django Unchained” (which was also quite good), where we actually get a very uncomfortable close up shot of a black penis. It’s not sexual — Django (Jaime Foxx)…

The best solution would, in my opinion, be to take out white penises out of the mainstream media, not to show more black penises.

They used the image to get your attention. It’s up to you to look a little deeper. Take responsibility for your shallowness.

Well no the taliban did that

I don’t think fat, rich westerners started taking tours of refugee camps in order to find their very own green-eyed afghan girl. So the fetishization you are talking about might just be in your mind.

Your cynicism has been noted. Hope you got the satisfaction you were looking for.

In this case, wasn’t she raped by her boyfriend? “*Demanded she have sex* with him without a condom” sure sounds like rape to me, although I have a feeling it doesn’t fit whatever Poland’s legal definition of rape is. This is so infuriating.

And speaking of the former communist block, please watch “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” if you haven’t already. My mother had two illegal abortions (one self-inflicted) in communist Romania and I grew up learning from her horror stories. And no, she did not become pregnant because she wanted to (birth control was…
