Thank you for mentioning this yet again. Way back when, Jez had a balance of male and female commenters, but Jez was a different, more lighthearted beast back then.

I used to mod a survivor’s forum on LiveJournal (that’s right, I am an old) and we called those “rape kittens.” Invariably, someone would share something really painful and someone would say “I’m sorry, that’s so awful, I can’t deal. Look at these cute kittens!” We banned it, because it is trivializing and…

I get where you’re coming from, there’s a time and a place.

It seems like there are quite a few of us - maybe if there were more women lifted out of the long-term grays, the dudebro contingent would make up a smaller percentage of the regular commentariat, and would be diluted and therefore way less annoying. Maybe there’s hope that the Jez staff could give us better numbers…

That dude just frosts me. No, just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you get to monopolize a space for women.

This is why I don’t comment anymore. Every time I see a few usernames I want to scream at them to shut the fuck up and listen for once in their goddamn lives, but I don’t want to be re-grayed for starting shit. If you’re a dude who comments repeatedly on almost every post and are reading this right now: please know…

It’s frustrating and aggravating that despite the numerous times this has come up-it came up again yesterday-the worst offenders refuse to be mindful of how much oxygen they are taking up in a space specifically for women (it’s in the tag line even!) and continue to manspread on every post, including those posts about…

I’m sort of bummed with Jez currently. The commentariet seems to be taken over by a lot of dudes who get in first to mansplain all the sex shenanigans, give their hot takes on Trump etc., and generally dominate the threads. This really used to be a place for women to give their opinions, reveal their stories, and…

But it does though. Have you not been paying attention? Hell, did you not read the article you just commented on? Women are just beginning to grasp the level at which we’ve been systematically been abused, excluded and denied career opportunities due to our gender. The last thing we need are a bunch of male hot takes,…

Yep! It’s pretty tiresome. And even when they have a good point to make, I promise if they wait five minutes a woman will come along and make it.

And, as ever, the top two comments are from men who comment early and on absolutely everything.

Didn’t the nyt interview a neo nazi?

Honestly, it was the best part of the show and the only reason to watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette is to have some background on the people on Bachelor in Paradise.

She looks like she’s about to call 911 because she saw a Black man jogging

are you telling me that the jade egg in my pussy isn’t removing toxins?

I stopped when I got out of high school but recently took it up again because my spouse loves growing it in our yard, shout out to my chill ass neighbors who never complained. He really prides himself on it. I take a few puffs after the baby goes to bed and it’s been delightful. Takes the edge off.

Twitter is now the most influential platform in the world because of this nut job, Russian Bots, and the entire cottage industry of pretending the lies spread by the GOP are reality. They rather (literally) watch the world burn than risk losing that influence.

Hi I am sorry you have had a hard time. This isn’t a feminist thing to do, but it will work: ditch the bangs, bleach your hair very blonde, get a boob job and the proposals will start rolling in. I’m an LA girl and I know this works. Also say you are 25.

I’m a black woman who was born and lives about 1 mile from Kensington Palace and most of us are bored already!
