OK, I just created an AirBnB listing and made sure to specify it was for Jews only, NOW WHAT?!?

As one, I’m going to say we can’t and/or you don’t really want us beyond a 4. Pretty sure a white 5 would be more annoying than anything else, that shit would get old quick. Pretty sure a 4 is still going to try and spend an hour telling you about the virtues of drinking Apple Cider Vinegar or some shit.
Mostly a lurker here because I am white and know when the conversation is not about me, but I gotta tell you that I love your writing. You cut through bullshit, speak real truth, and make shit funny that has no right to be.
Moved up one for weed consumption, moved down two for conspicuous mention of a relationship with a black person in an attempt to increase your score.
suppository furniture, you put it up yourself.
Wait until Thanksgiving. He ain’t pardoning not one turkey. But if he does, he’ll still “joke around” and make a chopping motion on the Turkey’s neck
Yeah, I’ve tried to explain microaggressions to “moderates” who claim they simply don’t exist and are the fever dream of many a minority. It’s like, motherfucker, when someone “compliments” me on my goddamned English, yet they know it’s my first fucking language, there’s something WRONG WITH THAT.
As a Cowboys fan raised by a Cowboys fan you might expect me to defend Jerry.
I stay here a lot because it has nicer commenters. I guess I’m a Gawker refugee: Gizmodo is usually overwhelmed with techie bros who defend the Google memo guy as a “tells it like it is” blessing, Deadspin has “pro-wrestling is real” meatheads who just hate “SJWs.” I’m in the black at Splinter (I believe Splinter…
I 100000000% agree with this. But I also think there’s a difference between, “I hope you don’t mean me (because my ego couldn’t take it!)” and “I hope you don’t mean me because I’ve put a lot of effort into introspection and listening to women before I comment, but if I’ve still blown it, I’m willing to hear that and…
Hey Zukka, I’m using this opportunity to give some friendly advice.
What’s next? Men giving advice on breastfeeding?
I also wanted to add that I NEVER commented on feminist websites back in the day — Feministe, Feministing, and so on — until after I transitioned. I may have known that I wasn’t a man, but I was still living as one (most of the time), and I simply felt uncomfortable at the idea of commenting in women’s spaces until I…
Stig... I really doubt you are one of the dudes being discussed here. I’ve mostly seen you pop in to make a pun, or advise on cars. I have never felt that you want dominate discussions in the way a few of our male friends like to (and for the most part, I do consider the vocal Dude Commenters of jez friendly people -…
I’ve been on here for the better part of the past decade, but haven’t always commented (reason for being “permagray”). My two cent is not necessary on every single article &/ thread. I don’t have a solution, though I appreciate this dialogue, and just want to say for male commentators or even white ppl that frequent…
I’m so, so gray despite several years of friendly commenting. What does it take to be ungrayed? Besides a penis that is.
Male commenter (grey here, ungreyed on Splinter — wish it were reversed tbqh)... and generally I have the same take here as I do on The Root; I try and stay quiet and just read unless it’s something that I have a legitimate shared interest in (the cooking subthread on SNS, Sex and the City, How To Get Away With Murder,…
I’m most likely guilty of this if not one of the chief culprits. Mea culpa. You have my apologies.
Yessss. I was literally just coming here to make a similar post if one hadn’t been made. I’m glad that thread happened and I’m glad this one is too.
I read the thread, and I agree with a lot of things said by you here, and also everyone last night. I am really only posting here because I found it frustrating, there and AGAIN HERE RIGHT NOW, that there are STILL men posting comments like “I hope it’s not me!” and “maybe I’m a jerk sometimes but I try not to are you…
