I really, really wanted Jez to post something, anything, acknowledging the shitty gawker mail thing. very disappointing.

I loved this comment up until the "I told you so" part. From the comments on this site, the readers here tend to be warm, generous, philanthropic folks. So you're preaching to the choir (or rather, from your condescending tone, kind of yelling at the choir, which doesn't strike me as inspiring or productive). The…

I am the same way at work and I hate it! I am actively trying to speak more slowly, and deeper. I am actually also trying to speak less, which is ironic because we are always told as women to use our voices and speak up more. What I mean is that I'm working on getting rid of superfluous speech: rather than jump in…

Wow, no wonder she deleted her own message. "It was the biggest gossip story yesterday, so even though we like to think of ourselves as a class above the gossip rags, we are actually not and the clicks for dirt bag were more important than writing a thoughtful, meaningful piece on suicide and the pressures of stardom…

Right on. Jez hasn't felt like a safe place for a long time.

I don't even click on those stories because it bothers me so much that Jez would continue reporting on this young woman so heavily. All the "I'm so concerned about you Amanda!" and sad faces don't justify Jez's obnoxious coverage.

It's not hate read for me yet, because there are still some topics and authors here who do them justice. But, this site has changed a lot over the last few years and it's sad. The gobbledy-guck phrases, the over zealous use of "OMG YOU GUYS!..." it's too much for me. I love the idea of a cool, youth-oriented,…

Brava, Lindy! Keep speaking out!

Yeecchhh...I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of the top video. Too cliched.

Did anyone at Jezebel write one of these articles about Gawker's insulting "tail of mears"? Can someone link to it for me please? If such an article doesn't exist, and I don't believe it does, why should we take seriously anything the cluster of Gawkers sites has to say about "degrading NA culture"? Good on the…

I forgot about that, when Mickey was redrawn totally jacked, with sexy gleaming muscles (the original Mickey was drawn wearing a shirt, but artists removed it for the redesign to amp up his sexuality). Oh God, and do you remember when they redrew Donald to have no pants? Insert WOLF WHISTLE here. And then, remember…

Well said. Lots of judgement on this article. There was one really grating comment about how "Gee, the BABY was present enough for me!" Well la di da lady, the rest of us slobs are obviously only in it for the presents.

That's a lovely idea, including your daughter's birthstone in the gift!

That's horrible, I'm so sorry. So glad you got out of there.

I would strongly suggest you rethink the word "blame" in your comment. If you mean that "we should create an environment of support and encouragement, so women feel they can fight for the right to be taken seriously by the police, as opposed to creating an environment of hostility toward women who speak out about…

This was great. I grew up being the good girl - sexually and in the non-sexual people pleasing way (although, isn't sexual purity just people pleasing gone haywire?). And I feel like I missed out on so much, being so hyper-conscious of other people's expectations.

Coming here to post the same. Faux-intellectual mean girls (I´m including Doug in that description) are so obnoxious.

100% agree. Thank you.

I hope they respond! But that might be wishful thinking...
