Bravo, well said. That snarky comment about not being able to put off wedding planning was incredibly unfair. The woman had a flight booked for WHATEVER reason - who cancels two flights without cause just in case? So many people have been handling these bodily fluids and the actual infection rates of health workers is…

I'm really sorry about the shame and loneliness you're describing here. :( We had a post on Groupthink (a sub blog here) where several men with smaller penises talked about these feelings, I just wish I could remember what it was called so I could find it!! But you are certainly not alone. I agree that we need to do…

I kind of felt like she did, in the safest way possible? Like saying "if I didn't have x, y, and z to do, yeah I might tackle this" is, to me, straight up saying "it is not as much of a priority as all of the other things I have to do". It isn't veiled or anything. She could take the time if it was a priority over her…

Woops, sorry, I wrote you a whole response saying the same thing without noticing that Pyrax had also done so. Disregard explanation. Yes, I think we all understand why, we've talked pretty extensively here and on GT about how unreasonable expectations for men (physically and otherwise) hurts men, and I'm very sorry…

Wow! I've seen rude comments on here before, but they usually don't start with "Pardon me". Well done. Thanks for being so polite. ;)

Your rant is valid to your friends, but not here, where the actual point of this article AND this comment is that lots of women do not care. Don't. Care. And because of the things you mention, talking about how much we don't care is kind of crucial for said men who have probably lived a lifetime thinking everyone…

Ooooh.,..

Thank you.

I love that explanation, for what it implies about the people who are giggling at a small (flaccid) pens. :)

That's awesome!!

Agreed. My friend had a wedding for $12k and she had to cut enough corners that it was kind of obvious - the ceremony and reception were at a university, cash bar, uncovered chairs, the centre pieces were from Pier One, that sort of thing. It was still a great time, but those traditional trimmings add up! I couldn't…

... what? Feminism absolutely cares if you want to look pretty. My feminism doesn't blame individual women for wanting to cater to a male gaze - it's kind of how we survive in this world, a lot of us. And if feminism doesn't care if you want to look pretty, we should probably tell Groupthink, cause I'd bet ten percent…

That link to 30 people describing Shonda Rhimes in 3 words is pretty interesting! I learned that Jeff Perry can't count. Also, Rhimes must be amazing, cause these are some great adjectives. I hope I get described as 'kaleidoscopic' one day!

I can't believe I'm actually responding to such a condescending message, but I will say one thing, in case anyone who is a bit more rational is also reading this exchange.

I'm not hurt, but I was taken aback that you thought my comment was lame and/or sexist - because it was a question directed to Kat, and in the context that I know her, it made sense, and was my authentic reaction. I'm also glad I asked, tbh, because it's good to know that most Jalopnik commenters are thoughtful ones.

You do a really wonderful job moderating ROYGBIV, I have to say. :(

Thank you. I think my question might have come off more as an expression of snarkiness than an actual question? Cause that's two people now who've responded with something about me stereotyping the commenters here, when I was very much just trying to get actual information.

P.S. This is why I asked her - because this was one of the responses I got to asking her:

Comments like mine reinforce stereotypes about feminism? I followed this article over from Jezebel (where it was cross-listed) to find people spouting off about how men are oppressed too. That has nothing to do with anything in this article. All that my comment did was ask Kat if it was always like this while acknowled…

It's so bad. Did you see the comment calling me out for calling all men sexist (wha? I asked Kat if it's normally like this) by calling me a bitchy Jezebel woman who can't take a joke and probably won't take a dick? I don't think I'm coming back here. :S
