Not to defend the MRA clusterfuckbrains on the other article, but Jezebel did say (in their original reporting on the article):

"However, as Jezebel reported, Faircloth had a long history of making contradictory statements online[...]"

Yes, it must be so nice for her to simply 'move on'. She only very publicly accused someone of rape, after all.

"Good for her" is not where I would go with this.

No it isn't. According to Jezebel, if a man is accused of something, that should be enough to convict him. The hell with a trial, due process of law, or even an investigation. If it just so happens that he didn't do whatever we accuse him of, there is prolly something else that he did in the past that he was never…

Jezebel Memes: Angry woman finding sexism in every aspect of every day life; perfectly acceptable.

I think feminism's issues with creating an echo chamber and driving out any dissenters started long before the "safe space" stuff started... but yeah, I agree.

Well, it's not possible to talk about on *these* forums without coming off as an MRA, but it's possible in other places. I agree with the general sentiment that you're relaying, though.

Actually, there's very little research on intimate partner violence within LGBTQ relationships, but much of the better research on it suggests that rates of violence within same-sex relationships are roughly the same as rates within heterosexual relationships. If lesbians are beating each other up at the same rates…

Gender equality just isn't everyone's passion, and y'all are gonna have to learn to make your peace with that instead of picking on people for it. It's fine, really! I bet many of you are just bored to tears by environmental activism, or by trying to find a cure for cancer, or economic justice, or whatever other…

Oh, PLEASE. Like we can't do BOTH. IT'S CALLED STAR TREK: VOYAGER and also the FUTURE. SPACE FEMINISM, LADIES, FEMINISM IN SPACE. WOMEN GET TO WEAR SHINY SILVER JUMPSUITS ALL DAY WHILE DRIVING SPACESHIPS AND AIN'T NOTHING ANY MAN OR MALE ALIEN CAN DO ABOUT IT. GET WITH IT, LANA.

I think you're really, really misreading the show. Louie isn't always the victim. He's always the asshole. He has explicitly stated this, too.

Is it me or doesn't any one else get that Louis clearly wrote this scene as sexual assault. For one thing he had Pamela call him out on it, "You can't even rape well." It is his show. He approved of that. If he didn't think what his character was doing was sexual assault, Pamela would have gone along willingly with…

Why choose? I'm going with both.

Not sure if trolling or just dumb.

I guess I'm confused about what's defined as awesome and what isn't. I mean, he kind of acknowledges that the heckler was attractive at the end, but spent most of that interaction telling her she was a horrible person. The black chick on the subway (Adepero Oduye!!!!) calls him out for being creepy. Parker Posey (book…

Wait ... I've liked Louie a long time but never got the Old Women Suck/Young Girls are awesome vibe from any of his material ... do you have any links to examples?

i never raped anyone. but no one has ever gave me consent. or said no. not sure what to make you your comment.

This is absolutely disgusting. I've gone a long time pretending this shit didn't exist, and that was perfectly fine until it started getting thrown in my fucking face. This has gone too far. Now I'm going to have to explain to my children that OWN is an actual TV network.

I feel "gender fascism" is too specific and limited a term to encapsulate Jezebel's tact. It's more of a cultural totalitarianism. Innumerate articles here are even titled things like, "How To Think About...", "How To Talk to..." Jezebel's been unwitting self-parody for a while.

The vibe of this site is certainly…
