I’m wondering how fast this goes haywire with the evangelicals. Also, why don’t people understand that evangelicals are the same as jihadists?

Exactly. One is “I don’t call myself a feminist because actually I love men and I think everyone should be equal” (barf and not a valid characterization of feminism).

Basically. I could translate the headline into “Hardworking Independent Woman Summarizes How Mainstream Feminism Excludes Women Like Her”, but I didn’t think I had to translate for all the so-called intellectuals getting frothy-mouthed in the comments.

Right, and dismissing her outright for speaking in AAVE. “She needs to get educated” although where she comes from, the odds are she didn’t have generational wealth allowing her to pause for four years after high school to do that.

Nah, it’s not hypocrisy here because if you take a studied look at the women that Jez (and its commentariat) have lambasted for a refusal to label themselves feminist, the common thread has been a false equating of feminism with man-hating. As multiple other commenters have pointed out, Cardi B’s refusal is about an…

The Mariah story, I. Don’t. Know. And no its not because of the inverted gender thing, of course women can sexually harass. It’s the fact that it’s Mariah. Lingerie IS her uniform. Surely all her employees are aware if this before they apply. Even on that silly reality show, she actually did her confessionals in…

I would assume it’s because, like a lot of other celebrities that know Allen (and Farrow) well, like Diane Keaton, as well as Mia Farrow’s OWN SON Moses, they believe Mia planted the idea of abuse by Allen in that poor kid Dylan’s mind. Her own son believes this, and Dylan did claim that no abuse occurred in her…

My dad refused and refuses to change a diaper. A diaper. Not a nuclear bomb.
