As a 30-yeard old millennial, why exactly do we need safe spaces? I’m legitimately asking because I’ve never really gotten the point of it in it’s current form. I understood the beginning of it and agreed with it (to help protect the LGBT community from being bullied and such) but with what it’s turned into, isn’t the…

Sure you don’t because you’re above all that. That’s why you go to McDonald’s as the it place to be, right?

The problem is that you can’t say “x is over the line but y is not’, even though they’re both unfair.

Yeah, let me clarify- ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL, re: service/food/ambiance, looks definitely can be beneficial.

Or you can do your part by frequenting establishments that have unattractive and plain looking staff.

Yes. On NPR they (I don’t know who it was) were hypothesizing that his messaging is actually targeting suburban white women who care to some degree about race relations. “See, Donald Trump cares about black people!”, they’ll think to themselves, comforted in knowing that though he spews hateful rhetoric all day long,…

This reminds me of something striking I read about Brexit; a study found that the less ethnically diverse a person’s neighborhood or town, the more likely they were to vote Brexit - and this is key- AND the more likely they were to cite fear of immigration as a reason for it. In other words, the fewer immigrants they…

This is a prime example of Trump’s strategy. In order to “make America great again” (or, as he’s trying to persuade minorities, make America great for them for the first time), he needs everyone to think their lives and this country are blazing dumpster fires.

If Donald Trump wants to make the city streets safer, he and Dr. Carson should stay off of them.

In the most literal sence you’re correct—but most people are (at least I hope most people are) shrewd enough to not automatically credit someone with the brownie points, pats on the back, or other recognition that might come with such “dedication” just after the person declared this new driving life goal. Based on the…

What?

The claim of Jezebel “never [being] a feminist blog” was made famous by Jessica Coen in her doubling-down replies to the outrage against the decision to publish pictues of an anonymous and unknown woman’s rape.

...Jezebel, to the long-standing dismay of some readers, hasn’t explicitly self-identified as a feminist website ...

I agree— I can’t help thinking that the folks who work here (bless their hearts) have a wildly distorted view of (a) this blog’s appeal to the masses outside of the commentariat, and (b) this blog’s importance. It’s a gossip rag that veers into meaty territory from time-to-time. I adore it, but I don’t consider it a…

totally agree. Anna is one of my favorite writers over here but Hillary Clinton does not owe Jezebel anything. This is a weird, entitled take on what should be a pretty cut-and-dry situation. Jez doesn’t like Hillary and hasn’t supported her (even when they do, they are begrudging) and she doesn’t want to be…

Given the above-listed appearances and interviews she’s given to outlets that cover roughly the same demographic that Jezebel does, what advantage would doing an interview here offer her? I know you guys would love the attention, but there are more disadvantages to advantages in appearing here.

Yeah, I like Anna, but I’m still trying to figure out if this article is low-grade trolling or if Jezebel’s writers are just that out of touch with how Gawker Media/Jezebel is perceived in the wider world. Personally I’m shocked Clinton’s camp even pretended to entertain an interview proposition.

Yeah, I mean, this is hardly unique to Clinton—name the last time that a presidential candidate sat down with an interviewer they knew was going to go hard on them and ask them tough questions about their weaknesses. They don’t do that because it’s very high-risk and, in most cases, low-reward—Jezebel interviewing…

But still: Secretary Clinton and Jezebel felt like a match made in media expediency heaven.

I feel like a person whose introduction to porn was their rapist abductor kind of doesn't have the most level starting point for a conversation about the subject. But maybe that's just me.
