That’s it, I’m done reading Jezebel. No one will miss me, and feel free to kick me on the way out, but if this is what feminism is now, I’m not a feminist. I’m certainly tired of being a punching bag because of my gender. Have fun eating your own on the way to irrelevance.

I love a good alliterative flying dinosaur reference.

“I can’t imagine thinking this.”

Re Kelo, I think that’s about the far edge of what is considered to be a community benefit. As I recall, Kelo was a giant redevelopment of a blighted waterfront area that happened to some old lady’s house on it. A single private resort? I think it would totally depend on what was being taken, but I’m guessing taking…

By random chance, I’m actually a little familiar with the circumstances of the monorail expansion. My understanding is that the reason it was so infuriating (and understandably so), was that under the Washington state law authorizing the takings for the monorail, once taken, the property could not be given/sold back…

You’re not wrong that this is going to be an uphill slog. But regarding eminent domain, see Kelo v. City of New London (TLDR version: public taking of private land for private use = Supreme Court blessed strategy if community benefit). In my view, if you can have a toll rode, power infrastructure, etc., built by a…

Such a long whinge. My understanding is that this film is more or less cut straight out of Kumail’s life (and I want to say his wife co-wrote?). I mean honestly, the author is going to die on this particular hill? What, is Kumail supposed to apologize for his life’s story? Go make your own dang movie lady. You can…

To be clear, I agree women’s alcohol consumption stats (and many health indicators really), are headed in the wrong directions. I’m going to sound like an evangelical, but I blame workforce participation stress. It’s not an argument against working outside the home per se, but working for the man is stressful. …

“If men started drinking 10% more whiskey it would be all over the news about men’s new drinking problem.” Funny you should say that. Drinking among moms/women in general is no doubt rising and a problem, but you gotta reach a bit higher to get to man-level drinking problems (men are about 3 million alcoholics in the…

Corollary to your head on a swivel: watch the driver’s eyes and arm/steering wheel movements. You have to anticipate what a car is going to do and adjust accordingly. People do not use their blinkers consistently, and you need to know where the cars are going because like 75% of drivers have no idea where you are.

Wait, the Civic Type R is 300hp? Really?!? Hahahahahahaha. My BMW 335i, 2 years old, top o the line was $25k. What’s wrong with people?? It’s a fancy civic! A CIVIC!

If you’re going to weakly try to insult me, at least use the term correctly. Was that too “mansplaining” for you?

“Please do not forget that 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump. Never forget that.”
Thank you. I know the jezebel commentariat likes to blame white men for everything, but not every bad outcome is our fault. Some female politician introspection might be due if white women won’t vote for a white woman. 

I think you’re right that this is a widely help misconception on the left. I personally know people who voted for Obama and Trump, as odd as I find that thinking. My dad voted for (Bill) Clinton, Obama, and Trump (he probably would have voted for Sanders, given the chance). It was their populist economics/trade…

Help enlighten me: as a white man, can he direct movies about women since he doesn’t understand their perspective? Was he wrong for directing a movie about black experiences, specifically of women (i.e. the color purple)? Is he worse for not directing movies about women, or would he be worse if he directed movies…

We can all agree that Torch wins this hand’s down, right? RIGHT?!?!

My bad. You’re right - I was responding to the wrong person. That said, the industrial revolution kind of already dumped sufficient CO2 in the atomosphere to cause the polar ice caps to melt... so it actually makes sense to blame the robber barons of the post-civil war era (Tweed wasn’t a robber baron, but…

I’m neither a fan of our current Congressfolks nor the current occupant of the White House, but “most currupt”? No way dude. Boss Tweed ring any bells? Tweed et al. stole about the equivalent of like $1-4 billion in today’s dollars during the civil war. Go look at his Wikipedia page. 1850-1900 probably has a dozen…

This is all sorts of the right kind of crazy.

Ya know what? I go to church. I tithe. I pray. I don’t want a single cent of my tax dollars going to fund parochial schools. My kids can get plenty of religion on the nights and weekends, at home and at church. I don’t understand this fanaticism with religion needing to be in every aspect of our lives. I’d get…
