So you're just going to ignore the contextual and historical reasons for why the dictionary definition of the word is flawed?

No.
Plus I love the super duper irony of girls who are (let's just assume) mimicking poses they've seen in magazines designed to arouse men. Magazines that men create, produce, distribute and buy. But let's demonize the woman in the picture and the women whose self-worth and self-image it affects — not the men who have…
Actual comment from the page:
They are not emotional experiences for everyone, though. Nor are they morally problematic for everyone. It may have been for her, but it would be nice to hear from women for whom the procedure did not have moral or emotional implications for once.
Hentai in Kentucky? That was unexpected.
Okay.... but can we talk about the problematic and racist nature of her performance? Her literal use of people as props? Her association of her newfound sexuality with the traditional codifiers of black female culture, thereby perpetuating the Jezebel stereotype that black women are lewd, lascivious and uncontrollably…
I don't care about her using her sexuality in whatever way she wants. I've seen that before. We've all seen that before. It doesn't disturb me. I'm pretty sure her repeated use of black people as props is what grosses me out the most.
I was pretty grossed out by Miley's little number too. The bears and the grinding and the sports hand notwithstanding, what really bothers me about this is her instance that it's not only appropriate, but it's actually cool for her to fill her dance with black women as props. At best they're meant to look like…
Oh Miley SIGHrus
A million times this. It's everything I hate in the Jez commentariat. Blithe ignorance.
We literally have people saying "WELL WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO DO?! GO BACK INTO THE PAST AND CHANGE IT?!?!"
AWW, CUTE, AFRICA THEME!
Jeez, some people are just way too serious.

It's like you're drunk on your white privilege. Honestly, it's like you are have become inebriated on your Eurocentrism.
I mean, I get why it's grey—I've literally never commented before, and didn't save the stupid million-character key for that burner account so I had to immediately make a new one.
Agree. But actually the original post was pretty spot-on. It's the commenters who like to be silencing and reductionist.
But that's ok, Violet Baudelaire & others, because really #solidarityisforwhitewomen so you're all good!
When #solidarityisforwhitewomen we can ignore race, and a history of colonialism that…
For real. The comments on this article make Jezebel look like a fun-fem white pride rally.
I am upset that your comment is a) in the gray b) in the minority. I am so annoyed at Jezebel has a serious problem dealing with non-white people issues. If this involved any type of sexism they would be on it.
