Do you want me to do it now? That would also take your reply down.

See, I don't think if anybody who was part of an oppressed group who was dealing with a traumatic attack at that direct group would voice their worry and anger that they would have to experience that if it were racism or homophobica or antisemitism. Women however always are so 'uptight' about misogyny and 'can't take…
Sorry I didn't dismiss him in time.
Sorry I didn't dismiss him in time.
I went to bed instead of dismissing and in the meantime people engaged with one of those guys so I don't know what to do. I figure if I dismiss his comment their replies vanish as well.
I know. I'm not able to click on all replies. I can neither see them nor post in them I can only either reply to the entire thread or be in the threads where somebody replied to me.
This reminds me about a situation I had when the Ariel Castro thing first came to light. I was in the subway with two guys and the story came up on the screen. It was a story that I was very familiar with while they weren't but all the info was there. They joked about it. Something about how he was named after a…
This is the reaction we would have needed. This is the reaction we would need in general.
The interesting Thing I found is that these guys come here being assholes and as I said before, they are not 'trolls' they are misogynist assholes and nice guy assholes who aren't any less misogynist but when you click on their accounts you see them talking about cars and their work and their hobbies and while it is…
That entire article hit me hard. It was as if she read my brain. But she didn't. She is just a woman living in this world. I posted this in reply to some of those guys because it so succintly said everything I felt and the insults and mocking I received for that, the unwillingless to even fucking listen to us made me…
It's like a mantra. I just don't understand that even when we fucking lay out to them that misogyny has existed for women no matter the time period, the geographic space, the religion, culture or political system from legal discrimination to the subtles moments which is well documented and part of our world we are…
It's easy to see an obvious ass like the one whose comment I just dismissed. But the guy was your typical 'nice guy' who asked me to explain my viewpoints and then when I did turned into a three page #notallmen who got super pissed when I refused him a detailed reply. And sometimes I have a really hard time not to…
Being part of the gawker network is part of the problem. Do you know those times when you click on a post here, read the first comments and go 'whoah...what the' before you realize that it was crossposted from one of the other gawker sites? It's an instant 'oh, of course, that is where the sexist crap is from.' The…
Anyone else not able to read any comments except the popular three? That is one way to ensure a better comment moderation system I guess.
From my experiences with being on that specific #yesallwomen thread I think one of the things I regret most is that Jezebel is not a safe space for ist commenters to speak their minds about issues like this anymore. I, too, had a #notallmen 'nice guy' write me a three page reply this morning telling me that I was…
About the guys wanting cookies: I ended up on a gawker post - I don't usually read gawker because of ist commenters as you can imagine - about four Canadians who tracked down a woman who had stolen a baby from the hospital. Heartwarming story that there is some good in the world after all.
Through the great cultural Beyonce war here on Jezebel I learned that the way to combat capitalist patriarchy is not fighting and trying to change it's established system. Forget Marx. The real way is to inspire young black girls growing up in poverty in the projects to dedicate their lives to diamond encrusted…
I had a very weird conversation with my mid-60s conservative friend about famous rich kids. She didn't get my point that they are in the positions they are in because they were born into it and insisted that they were logically 'more talented' than 'normal people'
I suppose the rule is that you can take pride in your body if your body fits male gaze beauty Standards but if you happen to have a body that doesn't fit those Standards - e.g. breast cancer survivor - you violate the rule.
