I was adopted as a baby, and emancipated at 14 from my second family for these reasons. I find this time of year especially hard and it’s always good to know I am not alone in this.

Yes, exactly. This is the first Jez article I’ve read since the whole Amazon purchase history debacle, and I’m saddened to see that it wasn’t an aberration. Jez has been taking over by mean girls and is a snarky shadow of its former self. I never thought of Jez as explicitly feminist, but I did think of it as…

Is that what was decided after the intended narrative didn’t catch on? LOL nice try.

She might be funny, but she’s funny in that way when you laugh uncomfortably at an acquaintance when they make an off-color joke. In that, this wasn’t actually funny, it was weird, and weirdly nasty. Lots of Cool Girl-isms, etc in this piece.

How about no.

This seems to be more about body shaming than maxi dress hating.

This is by far the worst fucking thing I’ve ever read on this website. You may think I’m exaggerating, but seriously, this is so bad. Why in God’s name do you care SO MUCH about what another woman puts on her body? I’m actually finding myself angry after reading this. Not because I love maxi dresses so much that it…

Great, let me listen to Stacey London. From what I’ve seen of her work with women in their 30s-40s, I should ditch the maxi dress on a hot weekend summer day and instead wear some insipid matchy-matchy ensemble that makes me look like I’m going to an all-female business casual office (brightly colored capris, a flowy…

I don't know. Is it supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, perhaps? Because it reads like a bunch of shitty, body-shaming snark.

Jesus this is some awful, sexist garbage.

As a short person, I avoided them for years, but they actually look great on me! Or at least, I think they look great on me, and I don’t really care if this woman thinks otherwise bc since when was jezebel about policing this shit?

How about we just let women wear whatever the fuck they feel comfortable in? Personally i’m not a fan of the maxi dress (I prefer knee-length dresses) but why does it matter that other women like to wear them?

Who the fuck cares if women are wearing something you don’t think they look good in? How is this any better than straight dudes talking about how much they hate it when girls cut their hair short?

All of those models look absolutely fine. Maxi dresses are comfortable, and they make me look tall. Though I will say, I don’t care for the cotton jersey types. They pill and look like shit after a couple washes.

They’re also still charging 15 dollars a month with additional micro transactions on a ten year old game that you already have to dump money into the base game with five expansions to play. They’re going to have to have either a sequel or a new business model at some point. Who can justify that much money for one game?

It is not effective on anyone. And it is long-term, not permanent. I had laser on my chin, and it didn't remove anything so much as it lightened the growth, and I did get some initial scarring after the first course. Also, as soon as your hormones change, your hair growth pattern will too, and you can end up in the…

Okay. Love to hear the stats or some examples of women coming on to strange men in public and then attacking them when they refuse their advances. Go ahead....I’m waiting....

Pro tip- if your takeaway from this awful story is to make it all about your own personal hurt dudefeels...you might not actually be as “nice” as you think you are.
