You’ve made this point in other comments on different comment threads for this post. While I generally agree with much of what you’ve said, I find it odd and a little funny that you seem so worried about NBC attracting male viewership to the Olympics coverage. Why a feminist woman on Jezebel would care whether or not…

ESPN doesn’t have schmaltz and fluff? Since when?

But...but...football is so violent, so aggressive, such a textbook case of toxic hypermasculinity! As a feminist woman, how could you?! ;-)

Oh barf. I’m a man and I watch and enjoy many of the women’s Olympic events, and I don’t have the slightest “pervy” sexual attraction to the female athletes. My other gay friends are the same. I have lesbian friends who love watching men’s sports and have no sexual interest in the male athletes. Imagine that! Also, if…

There are at least six NBC network channels showing Olympic events (NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, USA, Bravo, and NBC Sports), and so far they’ve aired a number of archery events, men’s and women’s, and not only ones involving American teams. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

You keep insisting that men are more analytical and women are more emotional—a specifically sexist notion that is trotted out for many reasons....men tend to express their emotions less successfully, not count anger as an emotion, and decide that their emotions count as logic.

YASSSS. Hot young athletes rocking their fit, muscled bodies has always been a major part of the Olympics’ appeal, let’s be honest. I enjoy watching many different events, men’s and women’s, but I always go out of my way to watch the men’s swimming and diving events, men’s water polo, and men’s gymnastics. It’s hard…

Why? I’m sure they’re being well-compensated. Buff dudes love to be shirtless, and plenty of men think it’s fun to be sexually objectified by women. It’s just campy, sexy theater. I see no harm here.

Where’s MY room full of half-naked, oiled hunks forming their taut bodies into furniture for ME to recline on? Goddammit, life is so unfair!

Get rid of all the men and only have female justices.

Oh please. I’m sure if a bunch of rando dudes just started walking into women’s restrooms to use them the women inside would shrug their shoulders and not care. Riiiiiiiight.

How about not commenting on articles that you haven’t read? Just a thought.

I know y’all loathe DT for a variety of legit reasons, but I never thought I’d see him mocked on a feminist blog for signing an anti-porn pledge!! What the hell, are y’all just going soft? I’d think you’d at least give him credit for this one thing, even if he’s otherwise a misogynist shitstorm.

No...gross

It could’ve been worse; what if he intended to send it to his sister?

What I don’t get is that he was a Catholic missionary in Honduras, a country that is almost entirely Catholic. So a Catholic missionary goes to a Catholic country to convert the Catholics to Catholicism? It makes no sense to me, but as I’m not Catholic, perhaps I’m missing something. Would any Catholics care to…

They want to have a reason to complain.

I gotta say, Weiner was owned in that tweet from DJT Jr. Score one for the Orange Spawn! Anyway, if Weiner does end up coming out of retirement to run for mayor, can we petition him to run as Carlos Danger? Pretty please?

I’m aware of the range of attitudes among feminists when it comes to porn, sex work, etc. Nevertheless I stand by my statement. Anti-porn feminists are still quite vocal and influential on the left and since the Dems are unduly reliant on exploiting PC identity politics for votes (along with primarily focusing on the…

Everything you wrote in your 1st paragraph could be said about all pop culture in general.
