I didn’t go to j-school but I’m pretty sure in the business that’s called a “lead”

We’re expected to simultaneously believe that men are the arbiters of all logic, reason, and leadership ability while also understanding that men are dumb idiot babies who can’t understand or recognize obvious discomfort or the basic idea that “if you have to persuade someone to do something, they don’t want to do it.”

This piece is fucking shameful. You were silent on it this weekend but finally decided to throw in your two cents to criticize how the story was told and talk about consent “blurring”? Jezebel, what the fuck are you doing?

This reads like an abuse apologist ignoring sexual violation.

He repeatedly ignored her clear verbal and non-verbal signals of non-consent and continued to pressure her into sexual activity. How is that not predatory behavior?

Off topic-ish, but how do you find the Clearblue? I had a good experience my first month (showed me high and then peak fertility days) but the second month it just showed me high fertility endlessly for more than two weeks without ever showing a peak. I then found out that once it registers high fertility, it will…

I have no idea how Rey is a poorly written Mary Sue when Luke Skywalker exists.

They didn’t make Holdo a bitch, they made Holdo a competent leader who made the best decision for her fleet in concert with another senior commander that didn’t share details of senior command decisions with a junior officer because it was none of his fucking business. This is being read as “bitchy” because she’s a…

I have no idea what the feminist ideology that you’re critiquing here has to do with second wave feminism, other than you thinking “liberal” and “second wave” are synonymous, which is very odd considering that most feminists who feel their praxis is rooted in second-wave feminist philosophy these days (myself…

Thank you. Reading this all I could think was “I fail to see how the feminist mindset she’s critiquing here is reflected or rooted in the activism of, say, Andrea Dworkin, Shulamith Firestone, Catherine MacKinnon, etc.”

Even the audience of a woman-focused, purportedly feminist site will ignore every infraction a man commits while tearing women limb from limb.

Can Biden and Bernie and every other thousand year old asshole who’ve never come within sniffing distance of the nomination just go knit in the fucking woods and shut the fuck up forever and let someone who doesn’t currently qualify for Medicare run for president, for fuck’s sake.

He’s also a thousand year old white man which is 12908120938109283091823098% not what the Democratic party needs right now.

Because he wrote the 90s crime bill that everyone decided to blame Hillary, a person with zero ability to make or pass law, for creating. Because he was in the pocket of credit card and financial companies for his entire senatorial career and gladly screwed over actual people in favor of shoveling more money into…

I have such weird feelings about Margaret. I feel horrible for her and I truly think she got a raw deal when it came to Peter, plus she’s very charming and funny, but man alive she is self-centered and a total snob. When Elizabeth was like “who ever accused you of being an egalitarian?” I died.

Strip that Down was EMBARRASSING.

You’re welcome.

I loathe this, or the similar phenomenon when a woman (initially wrote “someone” but let’s be real - this only happens to women) who’s not well liked does something good and praise of them has to be framed as “WELL OBVIOUSLY I HATE HER FOR (incredibly inconsequential thing) BUT SHE’S COOL HERE I GUESS.”

Why is it worth bringing up? Why is it relevant to this woman losing the love of her life in an incredibly painful way? What do you gain by making sure to get a jab at her during what is already an incredibly difficult time?

I have loved Elizabeth Gilbert since I heard her guest spot on My Brother, My Brother, and Me (I was too much of a snob to read EPL) and this is heartbreaking. Reading her quotes about Rayya definitely made me tear up.
