Did it change his behavior or did it make for a short-term reactionary victory that reinforces rather than challenges toxic masculinity?

You’re not being serious are you?

What?

How about you aspire and commit to not being trash and inspire dudes in your community to do the same?

It’s the same sort of logic that is used to denigrate women and pushes men (who fit a certain physical type) and toxic masculinity as uncritically normative and natural. Emasculate men to compare them something closer to women: insignificant and illegitimate.

It’s disappointing yet expected that the importance of your comment will never be addressed or assimilated by the people writing these articles.

Just out of curiosity, how does the story change if he was the same age?

Obi Wan would not approve of your garbage.

Master of None should be a great indicator of how he’s totally a creep. It’s troubling that people lauded that show and looked past much of his behavior.

“I’m really not feeling how Jezebel’s continued take on this is “hmmmm your reporting sucks” while also continuing to make a buck off these very stories and not breaking any news themselves. Bye, honestly, stop giving yourself a pat on the back for doing absolutely nothing.”

Jezebel is pretty much dedicated to sensationalism and lazy articles are pop culture.

I really would have liked seeing an engaged discourse between commenters and bloggers instead of what we got.

I love how she mentions engaging people in the comment section when all that ever amounted to was “You disagree with me? Suck on these turds.” The insulated mediocrity and cronyism in these parts needs to go.

Or “I don’t have to take responsibility for my bad arguments.”

I’d be impressed if she confronts shareholders about race-to-the-bottom approaches on labor and fights to increase wages and working conditions of works from the bottom up. Otherwise, it’s just another person given access to an position of power that thrives on exploitation.

Would it be useful to consider that pop feminism has projected an incoherent message about participation, who can speak and when? Not just to men but women? That there is a sense of unequal partnership? In the race to wokeness, there have been considerable strategic and tactical errors that have alienated many…
