1. It set a ratings record in one country who was playing in the game on a vacation weekend with no counter-programming

Yes, I agree, women who play professional sports should be fairly compensated. And the disparity between losing in the first round of the men’s FIFA World Cup and winning the women’s FIFA World Cup should not be so stark - particularly for an organization wit h so much money running around. HOWEVER, some of the reason…

A large part of “earned masculinity” (and “earned femininity”, for that matter) is heteronormative. A man who is not masculine perceives himself (and is perceived by society) as being excommunicated from the sexual process. Likewise, a woman who is not feminine may also be perceived as non-sexual.

Meanwhile, Gawker’s senior leadership and senior management positions has how many women or people of color? ZERO

Kewl hair to show everyone how creative, original, and independent you are!

Because the talent isn’t there. Women’s national teams globalyly routinely lose to the men’s U-20 and even U-17 teams. And we’re all away of the famous William sisters beat down to a sub 200 ranked man years back. Women’s sports are great to watch you can review my comment history going fucking nuts on Deadspin for…

Gawker is built on hypocracy, but good luck getting any of their “writers” to respond with anything but snark when you call them on it.

Q: How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Wow. GM is pretty fucking hypocritical considering their coverage of the Jennifer Lawerence and other celebrity nudes. I didn’t even realize this happened. Gross and disappointing.

Seriously.

I have to agree with the other commenters, why the snark against tall women? As though they are not marginalized enough? Or are you just incapable of sympathizing with anyone’s problems that aren’t also yours?

Lol if you're 30 and so drunk that your mouth can't find the straw, then alcohol is no longer a lubricant, it's a band aid for some terrible emotional boo boo. Or fucked up genetics.

Look the numbers don’t lie. In my eyes this season will forever be the one where LeBron was robbed of the Finals MVP and Russel Westbrook was robbed of the regular season MVP simply for being on bad teams that they almost-but-couldn’t singlehandedly will to victory. Their performances will stand the test of time even…

You do realize that I am talking of “blackness” which is primarily an American construct?

Yay body positivity!

Next up on Jezebel: How bald is Paul Giamatti? How small is Terrence Howard’s dick? And how fat is Kevin Smith? See, it’s funny, because they’re men.

Nicki Minaj: “Lookin Ass Nigga”

Am I insane that I actually think that’s a decent apology?

I agree that it’s not nice to give ultimatums to people about how they maintain their pubic hair, but it’s also a fact that I find it much more enjoyable to go down on a shaven vulva than a hairy one.

LOL. You’ve got some convincing ladies on your hands.

he is a disgusting sexist piece of crap, but that was consensual, unlike bill cosby. heffner offered her drugs, making it explicit they were drugs (he didn’t put the pill in the the drink and he didn’t say they were for headaches). he also said the pill would make her do things. she accepted and, very important, she…
