I wish one of these studies would go, "You know what's attractive in a man? Feminism. And not the jokey kind. The actual respectful kind where you respect women. It's weird how many women self-reported 'a desire for respect'! But it's true."

@spitfire517: Yes! I didn't know how to phrase that, but that is absolutely true. Trying to stop homophobia by using homosexuality as a punishment is so self-defeating.
@sebluver: I love mustard-coloured tights. I don't know why, I just have a thing for them.
@MattsWildCherry: I honestly rarely notice whether someone's wearing them or not, especially not the matte ones. And this is from someone who spends copious amounts of time admiring other people's clothing. It's a thing of nothing. The only time they're problematic is with peep-toed shoes or sandals, as far as I can…
@Donovanesque: Other than the blisters from wearing horribly cheap shoes because I'm nineteen and I spend all my money on books and alcohol, high heels don't cause me pain either. Are blisters what people mean when they say high heels are painful? What kind of pain are we talking about?
@marciax3: Telling people to "stop outting themselves while being homophobic" is not tolerant at all.
@NeonClaws: I think it's extremely problematic to draw on cases where rape seems particularly sensationally traumatic, and then compare them to other, less sensational cases, with the aim of making them "equate". Being raped does not always involve strangers, and a woman who comes forward about being raped in familiar…
@Justine: That is such an excellent response to the original comment. I just wanted to say that, because I knew I really profoundly disagreed with the OP but I couldn't have articulated why as well as you did. Thanks.
@Marla Singer: Well, not exactly. If you take a certain amount of money that someone's going to set aside for charitable donation, and a part of that gets spent on animal welfare, then that's some money that isn't being spent on child welfare. So to a certain extent, there is an opportunity cost to donating to an…
@Valkyrie607 is epistemically responsible: Okay, well, we disagree. "Are women really deserving of full participation in politics?" is not out of bounds; it's not a common debate simply because very few people are willing to argue that we're not. The topic has been rationalised out of existence. If there were such a…
@Valkyrie607 is epistemically responsible: Well, that sounds exactly like a topic for the debate club.
@theladyvanishes: I love bromances. And the above photo is precisely one million kinds of awesome.
I got through this week by completely avoiding Kings of Leon's cringe-inducing new video and watching Jedward on ITV2 instead.
@JinxyMcDeath: Many Jezebel commenters aren't from America, and are patently not speaking with American ethnocentrism.
@justpointingout: I have worked as a model in the past, so, as a model who actually knows what she's doing and all, heck no.
@blah: We can certainly agree that they're not the same person. It was just your "this is how writers write" bit that threw me. Not all writers write like Kanye, was my point. But maybe that's not what you meant by that?
@say what?!: Yeah, how lazy of her to not attempt to make her body look artificially thin. Honestly, you'd think she was just comfortable with the way she really looks or something. SO LAZY.
A lot of the comments here are discussing fashion as the meeting of commercial and artistic interests. But every piece of art we consume is the meeting of commercial and artistic interests: books are sold to make money, albums are sold to make money, films sell tickets to make money. We have no problem considering…
@blah: What? Margaret Atwood is a writer, and her Twitter doesn't resemble Kanye's. I don't think I understand your point. Not every writer uses "fancy language," and I wouldn't even consider Kanye's use of language particularly fancy here. Pretentious, maybe, though enjoyable.
