I'm suddenly no longer disappointed she eschews the label of feminist.

I like your advice on being concise. I also like your bio on your blog.

Glad you liked it. I mean, why would any white person choose to be outraged over something if they can easily be blind to it?

The thing that made me sad about the apology was "Fifteen editors read the article and didn't see anything wrong with it." It's not terribly surprising that fifteen sports editors lacked empathy and awareness around gender issues. That is YOUR shortcoming, sportswriters. Sad that they are so blind and yet so…

That's going to be a hard sell. People are used to actresses and porn.

if someone said, "dude, this is racist" they'd have said, "so what?" And maybe some talk about political correctness gone awry or something.

Nah, those guys are definitely finance majors. The woman is probably in media studies.

Don't know that they are unaware that it will offend people. A lot of people like jokes and either don't care that it offends or enjoy that it offends. For nonracial variants see dead baby jokes and/or rape jokes. Black comedy is pretty popular.

Eggs last six months in the fridge.

I'm only super careful with stuff like fish and meat. Like, cooked salmon for me, I'd eat it within 8h in the fridge. On the other hand, with condiments like soy sauce, I swear I had a jar that I kept for 3 years and it was perfectly fine (in the fridge).

Jezebel did. And so did I.

Definitely. I grew up in a similar environment - my parents did little to help but luckily I am just sort of rebellious by nature and educated myself on it. I am still learning, as an adult, about subtle racism and microaggressions - in addition to how to properly be a white person in a conversation about race.

This makes perfect sense to me (though she could have stated it more clearly). Women are often raised to essentially be permanent hostesses. This absolutely can follow us into the working world. Think about the jobs that women pursued (and were allowed to pursue) as they entered the workforce in the post-WWII era —…

I was just reading this morning about the horrible ESPN/Grantland article regarding the trans woman who developed a new golf club. I was hoping Jezebel might cover the story.

When you've never, not once in your life, seen a consequence come down on someone for being racist. (And also that you are such a special snowflake that even if you do something wrong, you won't actually have to endure any consequences.) That's how you grow into a college student as dumb as these ones.

Gillibrand is the absolute shit, and I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. In a quick sound bite, she's not going to give us a footnoted essay on socialization, patriarchy and structural inequality. I think she's just trying to say that it's easier as a woman to try to make nice and smooth feathers,…

People like the kids above actually think they're being clever. They're racist to the core, so these types of things are funny to them. And because racism is so normal to them in their sheltered racist communities, they don't see any problem whatsoever with sharing these photos online. Because, as they would argue,…

Ugh, when you are that blinded by privilege you cannot fathom there would be consequences.

Ma'am, actually. It's well established around these parts that I am a trans woman.

Other racists will give them jobs, don't worry.
