No, I’m not saying that (a WOC founded Jezebel). I’m pointing out that Jezebel the community is here, and is useful. I just think it’s not useful for WOC and Women not of color to snipe at each other over who is doing the most work to improve the situation for all of us.

What is the point of jezebel.com then? You seem to be making the argument that only black women understand intersectionality, but I have to disagree with you. I would venture that most women get that being a woman is not an advantage in today’s society.

I would say yes, standard consent rules for all

this does seem a good way to make extraterrestrial cultures leave us alone....

Babyganics seconded. Kept our infant burn-free while I taught Introductory Tropical Ecology (10 days) in the Virgin Islands. Also: hat, though said infant would tear every hat off of his head. Little bugger.

thanks for this! Yes, my husband too is very lovely, but totally willing to let me do all the planning. Heh. You cracked me up.

I wondered if I should have added a comment that the article has good suggestions for helping to spread the load, because I do think it does.
