So feminism means it's okay to disrespect human beings- specifically women- whose sexual choices we don't approve of?

Even though I agree with a lot of the point she made, I don't think people here who have a problem with some of what she said can be dismissed as folks who can't handle a woman with an opinion. The "you just don't want women to have opinions" card doesn't really apply here, and is not a -get-out-of-jail-free-card to…
I'd have starred your comments if I could. You're right, but this crowd isn't ready for it. You're dealing with a bunch of Cool Girl/Respectability Politics Feminists. "We're not like those sluts and whores."
Ooh, so we’re playing the “It’s only sexism if someone says men are better than women” MRA game? I love that one almost as much as the “It’s only racism if someone says white people are better than black people” game!
You're so Radical and Feminist!!!
“...there is also a tendency to present black people as nearly asexual in response to those images. The idea that a black person can’t be sexualized in any context only further dehumanizes black people and marginalizes black sexuality.”
That word...objectification...I don't think you (and a lot of people, be they MRA, feminist, conservative, or anything else) know what it really means. Sexualization isn't automatically objectification, and sexualizing someone within a context that is already sexual (fucking on camera butt naked) is not automatic…
Meh, I don't feel that she has to be specific about every procedure she's had done. I'm more surprised by the fact that she opens up to any of it and uses her experience to give such reasonable advice. Iggy is not known for being so reasonable.
I so agree with your last paragraph! Both radical feminists and MRA/conservative misogynists don’t seem to understand that what a person chooses to do with their own body and physical appearance has no baring on whether or not they believe that all people- regardless of gender, race, sexuality, or ethnicity- should…
I don't want to google it but, what is the purpose of a dick ring? (which he is wearing in this picture). I haven't met a guy with one. Does it serve the same purpose as a clit ring?

I agree. But I hope people who are opposed to #Freethenipple don't use showing penis as some type of false equivalent to showing boobs or other non-genital body parts, like a lot of people who are opposed to skin-baring and topless equality try to. Still, I'm all for increased male nudity in the media.
Did he plan that? #Pleasesayyespleasesayyespleasesayyes
It's true that being a parent doesn't end at 18, but at this point it seems like it would be too late for Caitlyn to be enforcing certain rules. The closer someone is to 18, the less of a fuck they give about the rules of parents and teachers (or at least that's what I was like). That's a stage in your life where…
To tell you the truth though, it's easy to see why people would judge rapists and racists harder for such a horrific mistake than they would with someone who doesn't fall into either of those categories. And not just on Gawker.
Both female and feminist, and I totally agree with you about it being nonsense, but there are definitely feminists who spout that kind of nonsense. I wish I was making it up.
Because it would be-gasp- a famous WOMAN (two of them actually) making a public display of sexuality, it would be Beyoncé doing it, and there are already hordes of feminists and other progressive types who take issue with Beyoncé, Caitlyn Jenner, and others for not being Modest Plain Janes, and because it would be two…
I wonder if any sexist bitterness will show up in the comments.
Jezebel isn't against all capitalists. But Taylor Swift is being called out in the media right now for her mean girl ways, the way her fans are always defending her because "at least she's not slutty like those other girls", (Swiftlunatics love to throw that one out), the way she promotes the idea that any and all…
Why is aspiring to be a successful novelist better than aspiring to be a successful singer/entertainer? The only thing I can think of is that the novelists probably get to live more private lives than the singer.
