Diamond engagement rings are the only widely acceptable way to a) be flashy as hell when you normally aren't and b) wear the same thing as everyone else and people think it's cool. I know people who pride themselves on their low-key ways and not being materialistic, but love their diamond engagement rings. There is…

first they should give up their non profit government tax breaks. you want out of the system? stop benefiting from it? i can't stop my taxes for paying for war, so they damn well better pay for healthcare.

often those with the "enduring interest in promoting a certain social philosophy" are those most affected by the social structure/system/oppression. it is unfair to ask them to also do all the work for the "allies". being an ally is about doing your learning so you can support

yes. and it isn't wrong to expect people to do their own homework and educate themselves.

exchanging ideas is great. making it someone else's responsibility to do the hard work, isn't, especially if they are the ones who have to deal with the oppression in the first place. the point of her google search service is to point out how easy it is to get information. the first time you encounter an idea you…

I wonder if it was impossible for them to find a trans person to play a trans person?

Hipsters lessen my quality of life

How much money does Jezebel get for advertising for this crap. Do Jezebel authors just troll for things with "girls" "women" and "feminist" and repost with zero standard or scrutiny as to the content?

I'd love to see Jezebel cover the other amazing women who won the grant, like Ai-Jen Poo, for her work with Domestic Workers. Great to see a woman of color being recognized for supporting other WOC. Jezebel should pick this up too. http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/in-pla…

I don't think there is anything secretive about it. Referring to it as the playa is commonplace. and playa names are basically camp names, since burning man is very much like camp for adults

Religion is so closely tied with race i'm not sure that argument really stands. it's most certainly projected onto people. and moreover, the fact that certain religions get characterized as vile, violent, sexist, etc., is very much because of race. "brown" religions are condemned.

It's also yet another white girl using dark women in the background shaking it for the camera when she isn't. The video is her in a non-threatening conservative cardigan looking cute and innocent while the other women are way more naked, way less vintage cutesy. How is that being ignored? Another video showing…

It's true there is a lot of pressure on the couple to please people and families, and the wedding should be what you want it to be. that said, I think people really forget your point that a party should be about making guests comfortable and happy. that's just the first rule of hosting. The ceremony can be all…

I blame the 5 friends who respond with "you are such a good person and friend and you need to take care of yourself" "fuck those haters they don't deserve you". Facebook Enablers are the real criminals.

Maid of Honors are the weirdest thing. Unless you're really the kind of person who grew up with one bestie. It's already a little strange to me to suddenly say you are publicly declaring a few of your friends as your best friends, but then to actually line them up and have your REAL BESTEST FRIEND first in line is…

Thank you. I've heard exactly one set of original vows (and ive been to many a wedding of all sorts of creative San Francisco non-traditional types)—and those vows were off the cuff. totally heartfelt and intimate. not that everyone should do that. but weddings are just not original—and that's okay, but let's stop…

Assuming the context wasn't something like you just told your friend a deeply traumatic experience, this is actually great advice and brilliantly delivered—at least for those of us that sometimes get a little caught up in ourselves. I can think of several moments in my life where i wish i got this response.

i use Square Cash for almost everything. it just links to your debit card and you dont need to set up anything in advance. just send an email with the dollar amount to your friend and cc cash@square.com. if its your first time you'll punch in your debit card. after that there's nothing else too it. i pay rent…

totally fine if people believe this was a misstep. honestly, im not trying to award the guy any journalism prizes. I do think the outrage is over the top, and that articles in jezebel tend to overplay cards and oversimplify things. whether it was shoddily written, I do think that there is merit to his arguments,…

pretty well read on the subject but thanks for the references. Many things are based on memoirs and that doesnt make every detail of seasons long TV shows based on real facts. Im only pointing out Susan K's reviews because it was brought up by someone else and you commented in response to that post that somehow that…
