Let's just focus on this part, shall we? She ATTEMPTED TO REPORT A CRIME and so they ran her ID and found an active warrant. Now that's incentive not to report a crime if I've ever heard one. Jesus fucking Christ.

He was a child when he committed the offences. When on earth is prison a good place for a child?

You know, there comes a point where appreciating the fact that something's not photoshopped turns into something much more like a back-handed compliment. We still end up scrutinizing her body and speaking as though we're entitled to judge it and deem it acceptable or not. She's gorgeous; why even comment on her…

Oh, no no no, I completely agree that this was a crime against her and that he is disturbed and fucked up and deserves to rot in prison. I'm only concerned about this being picked up by the pro-lifers as some sort of validation of fetal personhood. Some people are saying that he was charged with first degree murder,…

Why wasn't he accused of any crime against the woman? She was violated, wasn't she? All I'm seeing are accusations of fraud and causing the death of the embryo. This just sounds so wrong, the main person who suffered because of his actions is his girlfriend.

I don't think Dunham ever said anything about Jezebel being Mean Girls, but a lot of commenters did. Because this whole Dunham photo bounty debacle was Mean Girls shit. Those last two sentences of this article? Mean Girls shit. No one would say it if they didn't pull this stunt and continue to pretend like it was a…

I'm so disappointed in Jez. While a flat-out apology might have been asking too much (hardly, but still...), a well-developed analysis of the flawed/poorly thought-out/misguided $10,000 call for fatty pics would have salvaged the situation for me. Continuing to defend the decision and even stooping to make an analogy…

Your post makes a totally fine point, but you're making it off the back of an editorial which made a total straw man of Lena Dunham's argument. Tracie is telling you that Dunham's tweet meant something that it did not. Everyone who saw it live at the time took it to mean that it was about the whole business of using…

I guess my rebuttal to that is, if they think they are capable of critiquing pop culture for being white supremacist, then why can't they work their own shit out? It seems painfully hypocritical to me.

And, Dunham has spoken to her shortcomings and made some efforts to fix them, while at the same time maintaining her…

So... you don't disagree, then?

If you bring Hitler into an argument you can't complain about extreme examples. Do you actually disagree with any of the above reasoning? I'm beginning to think you would be snide to Rush Limbaugh because you just like being snide

It wouldn't be good to do any randomly mean thing to Hitler at all, including torture. I'll remind you that you just compared Lena Dunham to Hitler.

I honestly don't think that making a snide comment to Rush Limbaugh would be a good thing to do. It might be excusable if it somehow served some greater purpose, but…

I can see this point of view, but it's at best debatable. The difference in magnitude between Hitler-level-evil and "niceness" makes the comparison hard to see, but like randomly torturing Hitler wouldn't make you a good person. Stopping him would - using exactly as much violence as is necessary to do that and no more.

Sorry, Jez. I'm on Hannah/Lena's side.

Where are you even getting 2%?

99% of women who didn't see the ultrasound went through with it.
98.4% of the women who saw the ultrasound went through with it.

Difference of .6%

1% of women seem to not go through with the abortion (at the clinic, on that day) REGARDLESS of whether they see the ultrasound or not.

Using the…

Apparently in Mongolian history, there was a skilled wrestling princess whom no man ever defeated. The princess, a great-great granddaughter of Genghis Khan, was born about 1260 and is known by several names: Khutulun, Aiyurug, or Aijaruc, all referring to moonlight.

This is a pretty interesting situation and is a bit of a Jezebelian paradox. The author is taking a position on behalf of Jezebel in favor of a painfully strict individual moral interpretation of (in the context of differing state law) a relatively flexible and arbitrary age boundary. It is simultaneously pro-woman…

So great to hear things from the other side, it sounds like you really came through that situation a lot wiser, kudos to you! And thank you for sharing. That was another thing I was going to mention to the op - whatever is going on has very little to do with you. For a very long time I blamed myself and felt so…

Im not shaming. Im generalizing. Most people bang. That better?

Yes, the idea that a woman's body is something so vile and shameful that a woman can be fired, ostracized, raped, beaten, etc for showing it to someone she trusted as an intimate partner is really vile. The person who should be ashamed in that context is ALWAYS and exclusively the person who leaked the pics
