Well the rest of the world thinks that because... it’s somewhat true? Of course Americans aren’t all the same but we hear a lot about those rednecks (in the news) and then it’s easy to generalize. Obviously I know that Americans are not all rednecks (I have an American friend who’s orginally from Connecticut and she…

This is pure nonsense. Many kids are abused or have a bad childhood. Terrible things happen to a lot of people. And somehow a lot of them manage not to kill/rape/abuse other people. The ones who do kill/abuse/rape may or may not have had a bad childhood, it doesn’t matter. They made the choice to kill/rape/abuse. A…

So you’ve decided this person is not trans because they’re an asshole and a creep? Lol listen to yourself. You and all the other “progressists” have claimed for years that “someone is whoever they claim they are!” So if a man who’s lived all his life as a man suddenly decides he’s a woman, then boom! he’s a woman.…

Since when is it her responsability what her stupid brother-in-law does? Franco is a grown-ass man, he’s fully responsible for his actions, not his sister-in-law. WTH

If only he was the only one doing that. What about the countless female popstars/celebrities who claim to be bisexual because it will get them some attention? All the straight women who do the same because they want male attention? The fact is: straight people as a whole are desperate to appropriate gay culture…

Most of the time, people hide their antisemitism behind this so-called antizionism. The fact is, anytime there is an article about an Israeli/Israel that has nothing to with the Israeli Palestine conflict, people call for boycott or claim that Israel is an illegal state/is committing a genocide, etc. You don’t see…

What’s your point? That orthodox Jews are terrible too? Thank you, we know that. Why does any statement about Islam or Muslims have to be prefaced by “other religions are awful as well!” Like, dude, we know this. Can we stay on topic for once? When people criticize Christianity, nobody in the comments shows up to…

Stop jumping through hoops to justify her tweets. She knew EXACTLY what she was saying which is: Israel shouldn’t exist.

covering your head in church (what kind of church is this anyway? never heard this was a common practice but probably it’s a Protestant thing) is not the same as wearing a hijab/headscarf in the street/at work/in the supermarket. Basically anywhere that isn’t home. At the end of the day and despite what some Muslim…

lol just lol

let’s see: there is apparently a difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism (lol please) but when people point out the VERY problematic aspects of Islam, suddenly everybody here cries “Islamophobia!” it’s almost like... like there’s a double standard on Jezebel. No it can’t possibly be that. Jezzies are totally…

It’s not just countries like Pakistan and Iran it’s also right here in Europe. In several neighbourhoods in France for instance, girls and women of Arab descent (not going to call them Muslim because some of them are not religious) who don’t wear a headscarf/hijab get catcalled or shamed or harassed by their…

sorry if I misunderstood. I took your comment as if you actually thought those things. sorry

I would love for you to tell actual Spaniards, Italians, Greeks or Armenians that they are not white. They would either laugh in you face or be very confused. Is it because you assume these people have a tan? I tan in the summer, does this mean I’m not white somehow? (I’m from Belgium). Do you also assume French…

Xenophobia and racism are two different things. British people are not being racist, they’re being xenophobic.

What the hell does any of this have to do with Woody Allen and whether or not he is guilty? You are derailing the conversation by saying “well what about all these other persons who may or may not be guilty?” wtf.

LOL You are the one using a slur that incites death and rape threats from trans activists. Do you even deny this? Are you denying that trans activists are threatening radical feminists with rape? No you’re not. Because it’s true. Flashnews: you know who kills transwomen? Men. Not women and certainly not radical…

Yep. Actually I always find British/American book covers super tacky. I read the first Neapolitan novel in English and had I not heard praise about it I would not have bought it based on the cover alone. So cheesy. The French cover is much better:

French people (65 millions of them) are not a monolithic entity. I know it’s hard to wrap your mind around that but there are plenty of French people who are disgusted by Polanski. Deneuve experienced a huge backlash, on social media as well as in various French newspapers. Surprise surprise Jezebel never mentioned…

Have you never heard about the repressed memories controversy? Some therapists claimed to have helped their clients remember child sexual abuse that they had supposedly repressed. Turns out it wasn’t true at all. It is possible to construct convincing pseudo-memories for events that never occurred. I’m no saying…
