This is a bit... ... silly, honestly. Let's look at the pull quote:

My point is that the writers of Jezebel, and TEM specifically, have a track record of not seeing women's violence as real violence. I find it to be both morally reprehensible, and exactly the sort of thing that makes people think that feminism's claims about moving towards gender equality and not female supremacy are

I'm curious: If Jay-Z had attacked Solange, would Jezebel post an article entitled, "The Top Theories About Why Jay-Z Attacked Solange", recounting all the various speculation about Jay-Z's possible alcohol use, Solange having insulted him as a father, and him standing up for Beyonce? Or would we bypass all discussion

Oh, my God, this fan fiction: "Maybe he said something like, 'Nice way for a mother to behave.'" Jezebel, if you're going to just indulge in making shit up about celebrities, why not go all the way? MAYBE SOLANGE WAS POSSESSED BY A VENGEFUL GHOST.

Seriously the Solange Elevator attack is to Jezebel what Flight 370 is to CNN.

Somehow I think if a male celebrity beat up a female celebrity, Jezebel wouldn't be making an article listing the theories on what the woman did to get a beating. But hey, victim-blaming is only bad when it's against women and physical violence is only horrible when a man commits it and no woman would ever hurt a man

"If it was something that Jay Z said to her that set Solange off, it would have to be something that really cut to the bone. Something had to truly move her to risk ripping her couture gown or losing a piece of her Lorraine Schwartz-borrowed jewelry or spitting on Beyoncé's Givenchy."

There seems to be a consistent strain to both the articles and comments here, which is everyone wondering what Jay Z did to deserve getting attacked.

eta: sorry about the size on that mofo.
