Jessica, I am so proud of you for standing up for your site, your authors and your commenting community.

yay! i'll happily go back to being ignored in the greys if it means no more terrible gifs everywhere :D

Actually, on Jezebel a far more common question is 'why don't men standing by intercede?' and I think this is a better answer to that more frequent question. While women are justifiably more aware than men of the risk of sexualized violence in public, men tend to be more aware of the threat of generalized…

The patriarchy isn't really that good for men, either.

This kinda says everything about the real motivation behind a lot of catcalling, huh?

Criminals who shoot people are still criminals.

Those cops very nearly are rioting. Seeing a force like that one roaming the streets would make me seriously question whether my community was still operating under the rule of law.

great article. look at that picture, cops wearing camo and fucking boots like this is a war zone. I don't know what it will take to stop this, but the people need to retake the streets from the police. there's clearly a racial element to this issue, but it's even deeper than that and it affects people of all races.

I agree that it will make a valuable statement, but we're asking the black community to put themselves at great risk. I would never go outside with a gun if I were a black man, particularly after reading this article.

There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys. Guns aren't for black people, either.

No, it's not

ITA. I've said it before and I'll say it again, YOU CANNOT HAVE IT ALL. Every choice you make necessarily has a downside. I chose to be a mom and I am OK with the fact that I will never be CEO of the company I work for. It's not my chosen path in life. Being SO WORRIED that others are getting promoted over you that…

"Women who make full use of their maternity or parental leave entitlements receive, on average, lower wages in the years following their resumption of work than those who return before leave expires," the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development concludes in a review of studies on the subject. The effect…

Except that it is her profession and she is not ashamed of it at all. Why should we instill that shame on her by saying "Oh we won't mention what you do for a living." If she were a doctor, lawyer, etc. would you say something like that? Do you recognize that telling people they should omit that is basically an…

I don't think it's that a lot of people are saying they're special or cooler somehow. It's just hard for a lot of people to get very upset over the death of someone they didn't know, even if they benefited from something that person did. But every once in a while they can get attached to someone they've never even met…

I don't know why I like this blue hair so much, but it looks fab.

I couldn't even finish Remember Me and it was a give away on PSN+.

Wolf Among Us, Walking Dead....KRZ etc?

*ahem*

I think that was probably only half the story. It most likely went something like this:
