David Bowie slept with 14 year olds and y’all said it was no big deal on Jezebel. Jia Tolentino got a job at the New Yorker after arguing that we should focus on the pleasure of the girls and not whether Bowie needs to be criticized or some such nonsense just because he was the successful version of Roy Moore.

Also the one about how we shouldn’t think too much about how David Bowie slept with underage girls. 

You say this like she didn’t defend David Bowie for having sex with (...raping...) a 14 year old.

Agreed! She really told me what-for when I suggested maybe she shouldn’t be so okay with David Bowie sleeping with a 14 year old. I’ve since come to understand that it’s okay to Roy Moore as long as you’re someone Jia Tolentino thinks is hot. That was a valuable lesson.

My favorite Jia article on Jez was the one where she said it was no big deal David Bowie slept with underage girls. 

You write that as if you’re unaware that all free publicity for them is helpful. You guys made this monster. You guys support this monster. You guys continue this monster. You could end it by not covering them, but you won’t.

That’s good. People should definitely flirt with someone while they’re on a break from work. We definitely haven’t spent two years talking about how trying to bang someone while they’re at their job isn’t proper etiquette.

I just didn’t grow up in a religious household. No one ever suggested to me that human existence and protection from harm started at conception. I was in my teens before someone explained to me that lots of people thought abortion was controversial. So, my story isn’t instructive or helpful unfortunately.

I really hope she is paying you guys for turning her into a celebrity. If not, you should think about whether there are better people to elevate into stardom than a rich unethical child who has never done anything interesting or useful in their life.

100% true. Sites like this one work hard to make sure that wealth inequality can be handed from generation to generation. You guys should spend a minute or two reflecting on whether you’re on the best side of that struggle.

He’s a horrible human being and obviously deserves to be in jail. But I have to ask this out of confusion - I was 14 once. If someone showed me those lyrics and said “do you think this guy wants a blowjob or just wants you to do his hair?” I’d say “that’s the stupidest f*cking question I’ve ever heard how much more…

I’m pretty surprised to find out that the members of bands consciously devoted to 14 year old girls are creeps. That’s just shocking. Absolutely shocking.

It’s cute how “the only woman among his disciples” actually translates to “I haven’t read the bible but assume I know everything so I’ll just declare this without checking”.

“I don’t want to be famous, I just want to do exactly all of the things that will make me famous”.

That’s not what the concept of zen means, but I will award you 150 internet points for some excellent pseudointellectual appropriation in your headline.

I hate to break it to you, but female executives/bosses are not better about making comments on men’s bodies. I’ve never had a female boss who was uncomfortable telling me when I needed to hit the gym again.

This one gets filed under least surprised. As a Jew, Birthright was always clearly a regressive ethnonationalist propaganda effort. Not a shock its honcho is a creep in other ways.

No. They are adults. They are capable of taking the lead on their own and chose not to.

She’s going to be way more than okay. Jezebel is helping to make her a celebrity. This is just free exposure.

If Olivia isn’t paying you guys to make her famous, boy oh boy is she lucky. I wish I understood why Jezebel wants this girl to make more money. Great PR work you’re doing though, keeping her in the news.
