Yes, all this is exactly true, and you expressed it much more succinctly and in practical terms than me. Thank you!

I’m sorry Reddit is down or something...

Yeah, you’re Jezebel-judge-y too, I see. Exactly the type of commenter who loves, exalts, would fall on your Etsy-GOT-inspired “Arya’s Needle” to defend Belle Knox for choking on some rapey dude’s dick while someone making an experimental – you know, the words experimental and art film indicating that it may not be…

Wow, I forgot to mention the super-jelly and ignorant type commenters. “Mrs. Sevigny” actually also was well-educated, and I think the dad was a painter, too, though not wealthy. Chloe Sevigny worked as a groundskeeper while she was taking acting lessons. She’s been working in various projects for a while. I don’t…

Yet if this post were some random doodad about how Georgia O’Keeffe may have been alluding to vaginas or Frida Kahlo’s baby hairs the comments would be all “you go girl!”, and yet those women actually did go to art school....

I love these type of comments because they very much reflect the true spirit of the Jezebel commentariat which un-secretly loathes education and conceptual thinking.

Bona fide. Bona fide.

But I mean I would argue that you are to some extent a good communicator....you are reading a thread about communication between friends, and curious about the subject...so...that puts you at the forefront of communication enterprise, in my opinion.

I am normally not a fan of the .gif but this was truly its most divine implementation.

I’ve had to drop several “low communicators.” In the day of email, text, Twitter DM, Skype, FaceTime, SnapChat, Google chat (or hangouts or whatever it’s become) there’s just no excuse even for the extremely phone-phobic to ghost-by-convenience in friendships. I do understand that sometimes when people are very…

You’re not ditching capitalism, though, because you are espousing libertarian and objectivist beliefs, which are inherently capitalist.

Um, Naomi Wolf? Again, a pop culture figure, sort of the yin to Paglia. Her moment has long since passed and she has alienated herself from the movement entirely. You know NYMAG is the province of Michael Wolff, the guy who wrote a long essay about how he idolised his wife’s ass, that is, until he dumped her for his…

And you HAVE to be right that pornography/sex work is good for people...this is akin to arguing that Diet Coke is good for people because it doesn’t outright cause them to drop dead on the street. Conversely why is it so important for you to convince, or even slightly persuade, me about the veracity of your position?…

I’m not American ... and in fact live in a nation that is heavily surveilled by the DOJ and its allies so... not convincing. This is a government resource similar to the ones paid for by GWB that dismissed the assertions of scientists who proved the climate change was upon us ...

Pornography, and sex work, whether it involves what we think of as convention abuse and degradation (as if degradation should be conventional in any kind of civilised society) or is any of the ilk you describe, is always about the suspension of the performers’ sexual autonomy.

Most of what were known as “land grant” universities in the U.S., being federally funded to the largest extent, have always accepted men and women. Of course single-gender institutions in some instances also received such funding though most have integrated (VMA, Vassar) to some extent (even private schools receive…

These types of ads that constantly crop up in Twitter feeds and in opening and closing various apps...the demographic research on ad placement must be so bad. I’ve blocked the Kate Upton one on my Twitter feed numerous times (keeps reappearing) and there is not a single thing in my feed or posts that would ever make…

Of course, the high incidence of sexual assaults perpetrated on traditionally college-aged women, who, by an unbelievable coincidence are the fictive and sometimes real objects of abuse and projections of abuse fantasies in sex work / pornography, have nothing whatsoever to do with the proliferation of violence and…
