Nope. Both are legitimate forms for pushups, though a quick Google image search shows that he was wrong according to Army standards anyway. What she did is switch from tricep (narrow) to pectoral (wide) pushups and back. Anybody who actually competes in pushup contests knows to do this. Also, for the last third to…

Jane Austin's novels primarily concern plucky young women having to choose between dashing alt-country singers and earnest Java developers all the while set in the glamorous backdrop of a three hour line-up for BBQ.

I would be remiss if I did not point out how amazing this guy is for being such a good wingman for his fish. You don't want to date him? Fine. He's got 23 fish to introduce to you. They are tropical as fuck and ready to mingle. No hard feelings.

This is what happens when you praise every little thing your sons do.

It's not the smiling, it's emoting at all. Namely in roles where she's being paid to emote.

Please direct all concerns to Erin, who assigned me this piece because of "you know, the stuff you write."

just to clarify things, people want these parents to comb their kids' hair, not perm it. I don't have a personal opinion on any of this but I've been around the discussion long enough to know exactly what the issue is. I feel that in this jezebel discussion people really don't know what black people are criticizing,…

You mean "(Please note, this is absolutely not the time to bring up your so-called "Jew fro." The issues that black people face regarding our hair are not the same as anyone else's and please stop trying to convince yourself that they are.)"

That still doesn't change the fact that nobody is harmed in that statement and taking offense to it is silly. Unless you really want to talk about your Jew-fro and are feeling censored, I don't know what to tell you. The author was relating exasperation at people not privy to a particular struggle trying to insert…

Or, since no one was actually harmed by saying "now is not the time to bring up your Jew-fro" we could just leave it as is and everyone can stop jumping to the defense of groups they don't belong to in order to prove their street cred as the least problematic Jezebel poster.

I also missed part of this earlier, but aren't you basically saying that Ashkenazi Jews are "not real Jews"? Are Mizrahi Jews the only "ethnic" Jews to you? Everyone else just happens to practice Judaism? Because that's kinda fucked up.

I get what you are saying but I don't think the 'Jew fro' has been established as a common ethno-racial marker for Jewish people, ethnic Jews or otherwise for this to be a thing. In the Jewish diaspora, to my knowledge, there are not a majority of Jews with a 'Jew fro'. I'm not saying that hair texture is NEVER used…

The point is the experiences of Jewish people are used to trivialize the experiences of black people, not the other way around. The author was attempting to preempt that "oh hey I know exactly what it's like to be black because I have curly hair even though I'm white" by telling you to knock it off before you even…

This trivial pedantry aside, I fully understood your (stupid) point. My response was that the point was indeed stupid, and you're trying to lump Jewish people into a category that ethnically they don't belong in, which is what the author was trying to avoid, a "me too!" that is indeed not you, too. Mizrahi Jews are a…

LOL sorry, Jewish people are not "people of color". Stop. Just stop.

The look on his face kills me every time.

Yeah, I guess I'm an asshole to be offended by this post.

When will you be posting the illustrations of what Disney princess pussies look like?

It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
