Who here is demanding she apologize? She said a shitty thing and people are calling it out. I don’t understand your ‘leave it at that’ comment. We pretty much are, unless there’s a Jez posse headed to her house...? If she wants to discuss in public the ‘fact’ that men like young women (and not just 18, but 12 year…

Well, look at it this way. His delusion allows him to feel like HE’S the one being victimized by the Sandy Hook shooting - since it was “fake” in order for the government to “take his guns”.

There’s an intense need on the part of some pretty unpersecuted people to feel persecuted.

It’s hard out here for a pimple.

NPR’s “All Things Considered” had a lovely segment yesterday about Cleary that featured an 11 year old girl who, on being told that Cleary was 83 when the girl’s favorite book was written, went into a wonderful hybrid of disbelief and delight. “How ... how .. how could she have written a book when she was so old that…

I have with an Ex and FYI it feels exactly like these:

I think this is less a referendum on Jezebel as a whole (which has always sucked, just in ways that have changed over the years) and more a referendum on how much some women are willing to bury their heads in the sand/turn a blind eye/look the other way/whatever just to see a woman in the White House.

I hear a lot about ‘Bernie bros’ and how intolerant his supporters are but HOLY CRAP, I see so many people attacking his views and his supporters. This whole things is so gross.

“It’s like you think magical things will happen.” Basically everyone’s right-wing aunt on Facebook, except now it’s a liberal talking-point.

I dunno what happened to Jezebel since I got re-grayed, but it seems that right-wing apologetics have taken over and a $350,000-per-chair fundraiser—even unholy by Republican standards—is now just “how the sausage gets made”.

I am now firmly an atheist, but one of the things I really liked about my old church (Catholic) was that they would regularly do “baby showers” for young, single, or just struggling mothers (they would be put in contact through civil programs). Someone would donate a crib, and it would sit at the front of the Church…

Women music journalists have been dealing with harassment from “just-joking!” male interview subjects men since the beginning of the craft time.

Chloe, I’m going to give you some advice. Shut the fuck up and stop scolding a grown woman for not being a “role model.” It might not be slut-shaming but it’s fucking bullshit women get all the time. Concentrate on your own career Chloe.

But of course this shit is REALLY rare, right? NO - it is not - which is your (and my) point. FFS. Just once or twice I’d like to see a man deal with the ingrained shit we go through on a daily basis. We fear for our lives leaving work late. But most won’t even TRY to wrap their minds around what it’s like to live as…

That’s okay. We women don’t know what it’s like to automatically be taken seriously, either.

Yes, I do. As a minority, I understand that racism is a complex subject rooted in years of culture and is perpetually evolving, and that generally white people don’t have a great perspective of it because they rarely experience it firsthand.

There’s no way Fresh Choice isn’t the name of the section with the sad prepackaged wraps inside a gas station.

all of this could have been worded better

Yes, so much this. Even growing up in a place with a significant Asian American community, I didn’t feel the need to have that be my primary identity.

I do love her and think she’s bad-ass. And, I feel the same way about Steinem, truly. Love them both intensely for their accomplishment and what they have given to women in their efforts.
