One of the weirdest things about Jezebel to me is that we’ve never had many lesbian writers, and the ones we’ve had don’t talk about their personal lives much. It’s a real loss.

Welcome!! I’m excited for your vision of future Jezebel. Some things I would personally encourage you to explore adding here would be:

naw naw naw. i sit in an office all day long and have to be perfectly professional in emails throughout the day. no typos or mistakes to clients. when i come here its freedom of having to hit the caps lock. i am not a child but 33 years old and also and an english major. tired of it. let me live dammit!

You’re wrong about a lot of things, but you’re not wrong about the tight scheduling of Thanksgiving and Christmas. When Canada annexes the smoking remains of the US one day, you’ll all realize how much better it is to have Thanksgiving in October. You’ll see.

First of all, yes, I’ve “heard of vegetarianism” and have been one for 12 years. I’m not sure where anyone said being vegetarian is unusual in all parts of the world. But guess what? More than 6 billion people aren’t.

I’m always discouraged by the number of women who come into the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions for products to control vaginal yeast infections who are unwilling or unable to use the correct terminology. “Down there” is not an acceptable euphemism to use with healthcare professionals, especially when you are…

Christopher Plummer’s pervy diary seems creepy. But that isn’t the same as actually molesting anyone.

Yeah, there is a certain judgey “These people are so materialistic!” classist vibe from some people when discussing it. Not like the folk with 2 cars and and an accountant doing their tax avoidance...

I just bought a bunch of work clothes & some winter boots I couldn’t afford yesterday - I’ve just started a new job, in a much-colder state, and my first paycheck hasn’t hit yet. I never judge people for taking advantage of a sale that exists to be taken advantage of. All my considerable ire exists only for the…

Someone on Twitter made a really nice thread about how people shouldn’t be judged for going out on Black Friday especially low income families because they use BF to get things they otherwise couldn’t afford. Myself personally I just can’t turn down a good sale which is why I went out yesterday to get a bunch of…

When you got to the line, “I’ve been sober for over 8 months” every thing written before that exploded into irrelevance.

Sometimes I feel like mansplainers have no critical thinking. Guys, there’s a difference between saying your partner’s genitals are gross, or whine that you dislike the smell, and saying “hey it’s smelling off, what do you think of going to a doctor to make sure it’s nothing bad?”. And then, if it ends up all clear,…

...what?

Come a few hours these two will have been happily married and in love for 70 years.

Nah

This comment is disgusting. Nothing about stripping is any more objectifying than any other work that requires your physical body. It’s the same as people who say you can’t be feminist and express your sexuality in any way. People need to let go of these regressive attitudes that encourage mistreatment of sex workers.

This is why I hate heavy labor (construction, drilling, mining, commercial fishing, truck driving, military jobs) in general. When you sell your body, you are the product. Your self worth and personal value is literally monetized. It’s gross. Don’t sell your body!

Don’t shame women for survival work. Your comment only helps perpetuate the devaluing of sex workers. Women will rely on survival work as long as we suffer sexism, racism, colorism, transphobia. Fix that instead of calling sex workers “gross.” Come the fuck on.
