If what they are saying is a valid criticism, why has the OP and most of the commentariat decided to just mock it? Why don't they internalize the criticism and try to improve so that they can stop alienating these women? The response here has been typical of feminist response to criticism.

Well, they self-identify as feminists so you should probably have that argument with them. That's a pretty big "No True Scotsman" argument you're making. No. I don't hate the broader society. I don't think there's a magical Patriarchy controlling the world and oppressing women though. Maybe a Flying Spaghetti…

There are a lot of second wave feminists who shame stay-at-home mothers. My mother decided to stay-at-home because she couldn't stand the thought of a nanny raising her kids. She would come home from cocktail parties almost in tears because of the snide comments she'd get from feminists. Feminism as you describe it…

It is, at its basic level, a desire to be treated, regarded and respected as an individual, rather than as a member of "group X"

Maybe. But Jezebel does a fine job of that all by itself.

and I and my partner are twice-a-month folks (on average), and quite satisfied with that

The fact that you think attempting to initiate sex on a normal frequency is "pestering" speaks volumes about what kind of partner you are.

Criminals in generally seem to be very stupid. Probably because we never hear about the smart ones because they manage not to get caught?

But why not go for a more balanced demographic? ETA What's wrong with just encouraging more men to get in the field?

it still helps white women more than any other group.

Or maybe because gender diversity isn't a bad thing?

No one was called a slut and no one mocked her body.

She is a dummy. She is a thoroughly documented dummy. Her grades were garbage, but she still felt entitled to a full scholarship and decided the only reason she possibly could have not been offered one was too many uppity minorities. Dummy is being kind.

Yeah, as someone in a serious relationship for year, I haven't received a verbal yes in years. We react to each other emotional and physical responses. Your simplistic view isn't a realistic or legally viable definition.

Because a straight denial has NEVER been used in the media as proof that he was guilty. Re: yesterdays story about Connor Oberst and Jezebel's insistence last fall that it must be true because "why would she lie?"

Enthusiasm is what separates good sex from bad sex. Consent is what separates sex from rape. Let's not conflate the two issues.

You are applying a false black and white narrative to a situation that is not black and white. In the real world, implied consent does exist. If you misread the implication, you may or may not be assaulting someone. If they don't react or verbalize their discomfort, you may go on the remainder of your life thinking…

I disagree. A denial means he is calling her a liar. If she is crazy or disturbed, a non-apology is better because it allows for her to not be a liar, just confused.

I don't see how that's disturbing - I think the alternative would be calling her a liar.

Sorry, couldn't hear you over the sharpening of my pitchfork.
