something something feminism blah blah you’re wrong something something you don’t know what you’re talking about something something I read this on Mary Sue blah blah you’re wrong

Fucking co-sign.

For instance, Gawker has Jordan Sargent and Sam Biddle, but that doesn't reflect on the commentariat.

Your argument is that the phrase “women have two X chromosomes” is transphobic? Because there are literally billions of women out there with two X Chromosomes. Nowhere does that sub imply that trans people aren’t allowed, or that ONLY individuals with two X chromosomes are women.

Ah, Rape Gif-A-Palooza

I am experiencing (maybe witnessing?) significant cognitive dissonance at everyone talking about how awful reddit is, when gawker media as a whole, including all sites—writers and commenters—while having many positives—isn’t exactly a fount of enlightened thought.

I usually hate when reddit people come over here to defend reddit but in this case, ain’t no problem. Especially Jez sites. I hope you never see Jez’s “Flygirl” site. That would be whatever part of reddit is the place where wealthy white women go to other countries and act like those people are savages. I would link…

Are you telling me you didn’t have a high-level feminist discussion in the comment section on “Would you smash? Aunties reveal who’d get the panties at Essence fest”

Totally. I’ve been reading about the situation being mostly unfamiliar with reddit and that petition is terrible and completely undermines what they’re trying to accomplish. To the extent that it’s the prevailing driving force for Pao’s critics is pretty problematic. It could have been an opportunity to make a really…

I have had more nuanced feminist interactions on Reddit than on Jez in the last 6 months.

Right??

But where are you going to get your stories when Reddit shuts down? Half of the stories on this website come from Reddit, about four to eight hours after they are posted on Reddit. Are there horrible subreddits? Yes. Just like there are horrible people in the world. That’s the point of an open internet forum. It…

Shame about the mysogynistic tone of the petition, since it sounds like there are a lot of very valid criticisms of her work and it would be otherwise fairly impressive for a user groundswell to oust the CEO of a popular site.

Several actual feminist subreddits. As opposed to Jezebel, which brings such enlightening women-uplifting content as http://themuse.jezebel.com/would-you-smas…

Reddit had over 3,000,000 logins last month. You’ll forgive me if I’m not impressed by 100,000.

Reddit is more than creepers and upskirt photos. There are several feminist subreddits thriving on the site. I get that the stuff that hits the front page is often mouth breather fare, but that hardly represents what Reddit is.

This entire fuster cluck drama has been ridiculous
