Maybe because she's a woman of color, and her experiences as such have made it important to highlight this fact?

Then when Watson does something I'll be excited. I don't applaud people for the basics — even if, or perhaps <i>especially</i> if they are celebrities. We are so quick to worship them.

Look, can we not take a minute and appreciate how this young, famous, white, attractive, rich, western, ivy-league educated, female is oppressed?

First, she makes it very clear that this statement encompasses all women - she is just calling out specifically women of color. And that is because yes, all women deal with issues like this over the courses of their lives, but white women do not have the same history. They were not enslaved en masse, sold into…

Neat. Thank you other person.

Perhaps then something should be done to help- articles on how you can disable and be aware of the dangers of this. Not going to reply with a snarky comment because I'm not trying to troll as such~ But you're right in that Apple and Google need to combat this a lot harder and faster to avoid these kinds of leaks. Just…

She is so full of shit. She endorsed and robocalled for NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his LG pick Kathy Hochul (an NRA endorsed fauxgressive), over an actual progressive, female candidate Zephyr Teachout (and her LG candidate Tim Wu), just this past month.

Wait, so is she saying that you should vote for the women because they are women, regardless of skills, experience, abilities, political leanings, personal stance on hot topics of the moment?

Oh. That makes perfect sense... . . .

I keep expecting better. But if my time around other queer people has taught me anything, it's that we're not much - if any - better when it comes to dealing with oppressive bullshit that isn't directly aimed at us than any straight person.

I'm with you, although I thought your response was overly harsh since it was a pretty innocuous comment. But yeah, the whole "I'm a white woman, and I deal with sexism too, but it must be harder for WoC and it sucks for you" commentary on every single article about WoC gets tiresome. Obviously I don't have a problem…

"What pisses me off about her article though, is how she uses the word "terrorizes." Bailey did not terrorize the hospital."

she left for Vice, not exactly fired

"One Jezebel got into it with a dude while they were breaking up, while another Jez went nuts on her guy and began violently shoving him. One of your editors heard her boyfriend flirting on the phone with another girl, so she slapped the phone out of his hands and hit him in the face and neck... "partially open…

how about domestic abusers at jezebel? have they been fired yet?

I favor a real discussion on the topic and a realization that violence against others, regardless of relationship, is to be discouraged in our celebrities, of which professional athletes certainly rate.

Both situations are similar and, in fact, equivalent. Hitting/abusing someone who is a family member.

I don't know who Hope Solo is, and I don't really care. I was just pointing out that when men are abusive, it's abuse, but when women are abusive, it's a "personal situation." That seems to imply that it is not a criminal act, or that she shouldn't face consequences for it. For most of our history, the same "it's a…

Yeah, but they sort of need to defend this, too:

Some abusers are more equal than others, huh?
