I tried to bring up the same point on another article and was told, basically, that other minorities aren’t speaking up for themselves so why should anyone else speak for them? I wanted to respond with the fact that they are speaking out, but that their voices seem to get picked up by the media so rarely. Instead, I…

I’ve said this here before and was accused of whitesplaining diversity (which is particularly funny, because I’m not white), but I feel the same way. I was frustrated by the fact that the entire conversation around diversity in Hollywood is about Black artists when there were no Asian, Middle Eastern, or Latino people…

Was thinking the exact same thing as I read this article. Also Chris Rock’s speech was all B&W and no reference to any of the other kinds of POC. / Another WOC who is neither black nor American.

Lack of diversity means no black people.

Yes, a teenage boy who has breasts won’t get harassed. What fucking world do you live in?

Some women really want to have sex or want to have sex more often, but can’t get turned on enough or have an orgasm. Yes, it’s absolutely fine to have a low sex drive, but that doesn’t mean that some women don’t wish to have a higher libido. I find it really odd that whenever these conversations come up, so many women…

That’s not what the drug was supposed to fix. The drug wasn’t supposed to induce lubrication but to increase libido; desire for sex.

As someone who coaches a girls sports team made up of 10-18 year olds, I know this, thanks. I never said anything to the contrary. Those kids are some of the smartest, most open-minded and genuinely caring individuals I know, including all the adults I know. But fuck if some of my friends younger siblings aren’t…

Like none? This is such a non-issue. Bland comic dresses as girl to appeal to lowest common denominator of laughs. It’s unfunny, but shouldn’t merit any “outrage”. And certainly it makes more sense to roll one’s eyes at this manufactured tempest in a teacup than it does to take issue with Beyonce embracing her…

Probably close to none?

None? Do you really think people who are pissed at Beyonce’s performance are reading Jezebel?

Way to set up a straw man and then knock it down! Good job. Oh and if you want a serious answer, I would guess maybe .01% of regular reader/commentators at Jez were genuinely upset at the superbowl half time show. Most people who feel genuine rage at stuff like that aren’t the kind who regularly comment on liberal…

Hmmmm...playing characters across genders has been a staple of comedy for generations. This article seems like a stretch :-/.

This is a really silly thing to be upset about lol.

I still think it’s a false equivalence. I don’t think Barack Obama ever mentioned “black people, let’s rally together” when he was running for office.

So a quotation corrected attributed to a respected Feminist/POC scholar-activist and employed by another POC leads us... here? I don’t get it. It feels like you’re reducing everyone involved to their gender.

More or less tone deaf than saying women who don’t support women will burn in hell?

It was a response to people claiming that he was running an openly sexist campaign, not an unbidden brag. Nobody’s looking for cookies.

What ... what’s wrong with his response, exactly?
