Seconding the less gossip/more analysis on gossip stuff. I mean, I don't want to read about the Beyonce/Jay-Z potential divorce, it's none of my business. But an article about the strain that the wife's success puts on a marriage? Or about why we feel so invested in celebrity marriages? Sign me up.

I'd like to see more unique content created for/by Jezebel - it feels like the majority of content is just bringing our attention to things other people/websites have written/posted, without a lot of original analysis attached to the post.

It would be nice to have less Kardashian and more, well, anything really.

Bring back the fucking grays. Or, like Max said yesterday, administer some sort of "flag" or "call moderator" button for spam, trolls and porn gifs.

I'd love to see at least 1 Ask an Expert every month. And not a sex expert or a sex worker or a sex anything, but science, medicine, the arts, engineering, space, all of that stuff. There's so little of that on Jezebel and I think it could be very helpful.

Stop your whining.

Again, I've explicitly stated in my original comment - we fucking know NOT ALL MEN. The fact that you want me to give you special treatment here and defer to your feelings just so you can point and say "SEE I AM GOOD PERSON! ME NOT DISRESPECTFUL!" says a lot more about you than it does about the overarching

Honey, if you think this is about you, you may need to reexamine how you treat women.

Uhh but you seem to think that women are "causing" the sexual harassment by dressing provocatively. Rather than saying that the harassers' sexist dickhead attitudes towards women are causing them to harass.

Because it doesn't matter what we say to you. We could write a million words, explain it in a thousand different ways - things we have done, BTW - but because YOU have never experienced it, you're going to continue to say it doesn't happen/isn't a problem. Instead of sitting back, listening, and realizing that your

Oh so now "I know females!! They haven't told me anything therefore it never happens".

Your argument is that geeky men shouldn't have to put up with anti-harassment rules at cons because having to follow rules hurts their iddy biddy feewings. Lost on you (or maybe you just don't care) is the fact that anti-harassment rules both 1) make cosplaying women feel safer and 2) make cosplaying women safer

My, but we are bitter! I take it you're one of those guys that simultaneously believes women are unfairly ignoring you, yet at the same time are only pretending to be geeks to get attention from...your exact demographic? Time to grow up and share your toys; enthusiasm and appreciating things together is literally the

As luck would have it, I have my troll-to-English pocket dictionary on me.

"realms of hysteria" = you wombs are always overreacting

"unrealistic standards of the otherwise decent people who attend such conventions" = you can't really expect us men to refrain from sexually harassing you women at Cons

"women are the

I feel like you just engaged in some serious victim-blaming without even realizing it. THAT, my non-friend, is a beautiful example of rape culture.

Who said anything about men vs. women? Of course men who have been harassed deserve the same consideration as women who have been harassed, but I suspect far more women than men DO get harassed, hence the focus of this article.

Huh?

You do realize that "rape culture" does not actually just equal = "people explicitly saying rape is OK", right? That's the point - that's what makes it so insidious.

What a fascinating and constructive comment. Please write more.
