I groaned when I read this too. I wonder if she’s so precious she feels “unsafe” when people use upper case to spell her name?

This. I continue to be amused by the puritanism-masquerading-as m-feminism comments that always pop up when a porn article gets posted. There’s always been a puritanical faction among feminists even though their heads explode when you point this out.
If she did, she’s no different from the millions of other basic bitches posting sexy photos of themselves on social media and captioning them with a faux-deep quotes by some author they’ve never even read.
I’m all for outing sexual harassers but not with scarlet-lettering adulterers - men or women. I see a difference between supporting #metoo and ending harassment, and going full Puritanical Becky and publicly shaming people for their personal lives or even for cheating on their spouses.
I think different types of personalities handle it differently. Some women feel the need to out their abusers publicly, to have it be known, to warn others, and for the satisfaction of publicly shaming their abusers. Other people are more private by nature and don’t want to go public not out of concern for their…
What would be the point of impeachment if there is absolutely zero chance you will ever get the required 2/3 majority in the Republican controlled Senate to convict him? How would the process be anything but a distraction and a costly, frustrating exercise in futility that would ultimately be more damaging to the…
I don’t understand wanting a husband if you’re over 40, financially secure and don’t want brats. I hope she doesn’t bother with more husbands or even live in boyfriends and spends the rest of her life in her fabulous houses taking fabulous vacations and taking lovers when wanted/needed.
I don’t think there is a conspiracy. I think she killed herself. She’d tried it before. I don’t think anyone murdered her in her cell.
He’s not Bernie or AOC, therefore he’s not worthy.
Please don’t act like the snark was mild or the skepticism stopped even after the candidate had been chosen. The Jez and Splinter writers are for the most part total Bernie bros with absolutely no consideration for the big picture, it’s beyond disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
Look, I think I’m Team Mayor Pete so far, so this isn’t about endorsing one candidate over another. My point is more about do we need to keep beating this dead horse to death? Is yet another Jezebel piece about this relatively minor issue really necessary?
Dis he or did he not stop the behaviour that women complained about?
“it feels like he’s only doing this important intra- and interpersonal work because he wants to win, not because he wants to be a better person overall.”
Would you rather he lied and said what some people want to hear, or be honest in admitting he doesn’t think he did anything wrong but he understands others don’t feel that way and will change his behaviour accordingly? Because you can’t make someone agree if they don’t, and I would rather they be honest about it than…
Because luckily there are still people out there annoyed by incorrect language?
I’m not talking about endorsing him, I’m talking about at which point do we move on from an issue and accept that not everyone will give you the answer you want or think the way you want? Because at this point continuing to harp on about Joe Biden being too touchy-feely when he’s no longer being too touchy feely, is…
But he changed his behavior, didn’t he? Has there been a single instance of him being overly close/intimate with a woman since the complaint? No.
People say the self-consciousness of our modern connected age is the reason why camp has dried up, and it should be clear that I think that is true. But it’s only part of the story. Another reason is that the liberal elite that has most ardently appreciated this sensibility now has the social imperative of ethical…
Wut?
Yes of course it is a thing but how exactly is pointing out a grammatical error internalised misogyny and why does the subject matter of the article make a difference in whether one can or cannot point out said grammatical error?
