"What did she expect?"
Does it not feel good when someone responds negatively to something you wrote? Huh, that's weird.
You don't have to support or condone Jezebel, or any news site/blog, for them to report on you. I'm confused. If that was an actual thing - making sure the people and stories you're covering approved of your news outlet before you released content - reporting wouldn't exist.
When you put something out in public, you have no choice of who finds it. That is simply how things work. So, while you might not "mind cool plus size people finding" your tumblr, those aren't the only people who are going to find it. Why? Because it's public. If you want to choose who sees your tumblr, you need to…
I agree with this. The thing that struck me is the fact that the tumblr author was blaming jezabel's "toxicity" for the abusive messages and comments she received. Like fine, have a problem with the whole Gawker set up. Fine, don't like jezebel (its far from perfect, though personally I credit unfortunate…
Like, I completely understand not wanting to be associated with certain websites because you do not agree with what they stand for and or write about. But honestly, it actually hurts my feelings when you say that most Jezebel readers are trolls and bad feminists. (I know, I'm paraphrasing) I've never sent rape and or…
Damn, nailed it.
Someone brought a six pack of that swill to a party we had at my house once and only drank one. 2 years later, despite having thrown aprroximately 87 parties since then, there are still 4 Smirnoff ices left in our booze fridge. No one will own up to drinking the 2nd one.
Since I do not watch this show, every time you guys write about him I imagine you are discussing Jean-Ralphio Saperstein.
what the actual fuck is happening with the duplicate comments? They're multiplying like frickin' tribbles.
I don't think criticizing someone for perpetuating systemic sexism is the same thing as being mean
I just wanted to post to say thank you for writing this. I agree with this entirely and wish more people shared the same view.
Here Here!!
You get a star. Fortunately, most of the comments seem to be reasonable, and not totally dismissive. Hopefully some dudes with cogitate on this shit and not have knee-jerk reactions defending institutionalized sexism.
Stalked her, kept messaging her obsessively and demanded a response, wrote creepy things about a total stranger that showed he'd been spending his time fantasizing and projecting some personality onto her that he'd made up in his head, and skated t-h-i-s close to the edge of sounding threatening in his persistence. If…
Umm really dude? Let's start with the absolute basic level of wrong with this post. He persisted long after she ignored him. He continued without the slightest clue of the massive hints she was giving until she couldn't take it anymore. Also he was being creepy as hell. Comparing her Hollywood's idolized characters…
People who work at retail have to be nice or they are fired. Unless someone does something like give you their number you should never take any social cues from people in retail.
Everything. The way he found her on Facebook, the constant messaging when she didn't respond, putting her on a pedestal like she was a goddess instead of just a person, wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora outside of a costume party, etc.
I'm glad it's here, I want to see how many people come out to defend the creep. I'm sure there's more than one people here that fit that mold perfectly.
What an excellent response. Hopefully the creep learns from it.
