All this. I’m in the South currently but I’ve lived in different places. A lot of people dont understand the deep roots that Black families have here. There’s generations of people who fought for their homes. They don’t want to walk away from that. And while abortion is more accessible in blue states, they aren’t less…

A lot of business gets done as lunch. People talk about work and build relationships. Choosing places that most women probably dont want to go to with male coworkers is exclusionary at best. That’s assuming they don’t talk about. If they went quietly, it probably wouldn’t be a problem. This obviously isn’t a secret…

Ok

Putting scare quotes around it doesn’t carry much weight when they say that journalists were there because it was safe. Jezebel needs to do better at their political coverage or not do it at all. They are hype focused on a particular narrative or imperialism, which is often correct. It just a highly privileged one…

“My point is we shouldn’t repeat these claims as fact because it adds to a harmful narrative that discourages people from taking needed medication.”

He raised 51M in the latter half of 2021. As much as I'd like to ignore him, he's still relevant.

None of them have the potential to evolve into WW3. If Jezebel doesn’t want to cover this or any other humanitarian crisises, that’s fine. If they do want to cover it, they should at least attempt to demonstrate some degree of competence. Calling the Ukraine a safe country when more than 14,000 have been killed in…

She said that in her testimony specifically about how she was prescribed lithium. Lithium is pretty commonly used to treat bipolar disorder and it can be lifesaving. The statements she made about the drug weren’t factual, and it adds to the stigma around neccessary medication. I have no idea whether or not she needed…

Are progressive people actually voting or engaging in activism in any sort of numbers? I know a lot of people who went to a protest and did nothing else. I know a lot of white progressive groups that are trying to advocate for policies to benefit POC and/or the LGBTQ community without actually consulting anyone from…

There are people in my area arguing for a return to virtual school. Their are people demanding that businesses shut back down. Lives are more important than the economy, but if there isn’t government support, people can’t eat or pay rent. There has never been sufficent support for people who most needed it and what…

This isn’t a facetious question, what lesson were we supposed to have learned? I keep hearing that people would vote for candidates that excite them, but what does that mean at a national level? The country is a lot more conservative than a lot people on this site seem to realize. 

I get that too. I feel sympathy for her the same way, I’d feel for anyone who had complications from a cosmetic procedure. You’re absolutely right that this isnt happening in a vaccum and that she helped create and profited from this impossible standard of beauty. I really don’t think that younger Jezebel readers and…

I mean yeah. I’m not defending the gamers who say that shit. There are a lot of very sexist, racist, and homophobic gamers. The issue is that they're not the only ones who hear these comments. Plenty of short dudes are just trying to live their lives and hearing this too. It's like the memes mocking 50 cent for…

A few of my female friends are short and the sexualization they experience is unreal. I say that as a woman who has experienced all sorts of gross comments from creepy dudes. There’s a level of entitlement almost. I don’t know if it’s becuase they appear more vulnerable. Short men deserve respect and shouldn’t be…

This is all immaterial and contributes to a cultural narrative where we dont take stalking seriously putting women’s lives in danger if the woman had it coming. Kim Kardashian was already robbed and tied up in a hotel room. This must be terrifying and she has security. The average woman doesn’t. Whether you’re right…

I think you’re being overly harsh and unsympathetic to her as an individual but I think everyone else is ignoring that Linda Evangelista is to girls and women of the 90s what Kim Kardashian is to girls & women of the 00s. If we’re upset at the Kardashians, we need to be upset about Evangelista telling girls that its…

It’s banned by WADA not IOC. IOC uses WADA rules but doesn’t draft them. To ban a substance it has to meet 2 of their 3 criteria. 1. It’s performance enhancing or it has the potential to be performance enhancing 2. It’s a health risk or potential health risk for athletes 3. Its against the spirit of the games.

I agree. I think I’d be inclined to give people more grace if they talked about the obvious racism in banning the soul cap. That seems pretty low stakes. I can understand Rogan's silence on the matter. Jezebel's seems more egregious. 

Thats not entirely true. IOC made the rule. USTAF basically has to enforce it if they want be in the Olympics. Weightlifting is currently out of the 2028 games because they didn't enforce PED rules. 

I just complained about this the other day but the coverage of Sha’Carri Richardson seems to have a lot more to do with people’s feelings about cannabis than it does with actually caring about racism in the Olympics. Also, cannabis isnt necessarily banned as a performance enhancing drug. For the IOC to ban a drug it…
