It’s almost like they have no way of defending a woman who committed perjury multiple times and played a role in sending people to prison for their entire lives, including women of color...

I know! She would have been amazing against him and would have gone for the kill shot while still being dignified just like she did Mike Bloomberg. 

Exactly. I love Bernie and voted for him in the 2016 primaries; it’s because of him the Democratic Party has moved more to the left. He’s endorsed Biden, he’s asked his supporters to vote for Biden, and he’s called for unity so I don’t understand how some of his supporters don’t get their constant attacks on Biden are…

I honestly don’t know if Trump skipping the debates is a bad thing. He’ll obviously use some “fake media,” “crooked Democrats” nonsense and his base will eat it up but maybe it’ll backfire with undecided or independent voters who’ll see it as another example of his unfitness for the office? Maybe it’s wishful thinking…

Thank you. I’m so over people who can’t get over themselves to do the right thing and vote for Biden. If people stood in line for hours during a pandemic during the Wisconsin primary, then you can muster about the energy to register to vote (which you can do online in most states) and request a mail in/absentee ballot…

I like that strict interpretation of the Secret Service’s duties- that’s probably what they ran with when they got yelled because Trump was crying about how humiliating that was for him!

Is it that the Secret Service doesn’t think Biden will clock Trump or is it that they secretly want to see Trump get punched in the face? Remember when Trump was filmed going up the steps to Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe? Think of the number people he interacted with/must have seen his shoe and…

Calling her dumb is giving her too much credit. She knows exactly what she’s doing- she was all over the news before Trump was elected, saying how he was unfit for office. She’s a self serving fame whore with no moral compass and has no problem lying for a living because she knows she’ll have a sweet book deal after…

Agreed; I think Kamala as VP will discourage a lot of people from voting because of her history as a prosecutor. My heart is still set on Stacey Abrams; I think she really energizes progressives and black voters because of her experience in grassroots organizing and her vision of leadership. The VP has as much power…

It was fine but nothing special. There are also documentaries about penguins and dolphins that are narrated by Ed Helms and Natalie Portman respectively that have a similar sing song-y style that’s meant for children. I’ve tried to watch a couple episodes of Suits and was not impressed by her or any of the other…

Best. Comment. Ever. Thank you for the much needed laugh!

There’s an entire thread over on Jezebel about how a certain segment of The Root commentators want to hold white women accountable for every bad white woman bad deed. It’s an incredibly condescending, white feminist train of thought which seems to forget that 56% of white women voted for Donald Trump. When 56% of your…

I’ve thought a lot about your comment because I’ve always found “Believe Women” problematic as well for the reasons you mentioned but also because our country has always “believed” certain women over others. Our history is full of examples of white women being believed because they accused a man of color of assaulting…

There’s a lot of white feminism on Jezebel but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how insightful and nuanced the comments on this thread have been. I think part of the reason we haven’t seen an article about the perjury is because it’s indefensible and it’ll be difficult for the authors to reconcile their unconditional…

Why does Jezebel constantly bash Kate Middleton? How is it feminist to engage in the same behavior the British tabloids did of pitting two women against each other? You don’t need to make one woman look bad in order to make another woman look good. They’re both different women who come from different backgrounds and…

Notice how there isn’t a single article on Jezebel about how Tara Reade literally committed perjury by lying about her credentials when she testified as an expert witness for the prosecution in cases where people were facing life long prison sentences? Or how about there was zero outrage when Bernie not only openly…

Thank you for your thoughtful response and welcome to the wonderful world of indigent defense! I’ve been a public defender for 10+ years and I’ve always found Jezebel’s brand of carceral feminism incredibly frustrating primarily because it mimics the “law and order” rhetoric that led to our current incarceration…

I just looked up the Christine O’Donnell allegations and just eyeroll; that’s also a name I’d long forgotten and hopefully will have the pleasure of forgetting again soon. I honestly don’t know what Ms. Reade’s motives are and I don’t know if we’ll ever know. Even if it was astroturfing, I think it wouldn’t come from…

The college admissions process was already corrupt even if this case hadn’t happened. Until you get rid of legacies, pay for play admissions (cough, cough Jared Kushner), and all the other ways wealthy parents buy their children’s education, then no one can say with a straight face that corruption has ended. My only…

You’re correct the right pushes “believe all women” but they’ve been able to successfully conflate “believe women” and “believe all women” for the reasons I said above. This doesn’t mean that we still don’t have to have a meaningful discussion about the points I raised above.
