High five!!!!!!!!
I identify as a feminist and am saddened whenever I see a mob of feminist attacking and criticizing anyone and everyone who doesn't think/speak/act exactly like them. Because we all know that alienating people and making them feel like a pile or garbage is the way to get them on board with our (it is…

You know what'd be cool is if people stopped expecting their lives to reflect movie cliches altogether. Wearing a woman down til she loves you. Precocious kids who are wiser than adults. Token minority friends doling out folk wisdom and fashion tips. Moving up from the mail room to a high-powered Wall Street job just…

On one level, this is a good ideal. However, it remains that men are more advantaged than women in society in many aspects of life. Women suffer from rape much more than men do. Women are behind in the workplace— paid less, promoted less, taken less seriously in general. Women suffer more from domestic violence…

Let's not call this stalking. It is harassment but stalking is scary and not just annoying.

I see the mom as needing content for her youtube account, mostly. What she could do is contact the boy's parents and let them know that it will ruin their son's future if this continues because you will call the police and get a lawyer and this is what will come up when he is googled.

I KNEW YOU WERE A WHITE GIRL. White girls love to decide who's a feminist and who isn't. Newsflash, y'all don't own the movement.

No. They can be feminist, since feminism is for equalizing oportunity and gender roles, and men have a gender. It's feminism when i exercise my right to wear pants or initiate a request for sex and its feminism when a guy cries after his dad dies and a little boy wants to learn how to sew clothes. Its feminism if a…

maybe if we stopped pretending like it's cute to wear someone down, we could then also stop pretending it's not okay to say yes, too. They go hand in hand...empowering people to make decisions they want by respecting and trusting them when they say what those wishes are.

But...but...but...

But he's not saying he's a leader of the movement. Feminist is not a synonym for woman or female. It means someone who believes in equal rights for women. That's it.

Whenever someone tries to say a trans-excluding radical feminist isn't a "real feminist" I get angry. Yeah they ARE a feminist, they're just a SHITTY feminist. Sarah Palin can call herself a feminist and I won't argue with that point, the point I will fight on is that she's a shitty one.

I do NOT like pushing people out of a movement. In fact the main reason I became a feminist is because of my BROTHER. Both my parents are conservative so without my brother's much more liberal influence it never occurred to me as a teen that I should even think about it. He engaged me and made me think and reflect in…

I think that you don't understand what "benefit of doubt" actually means. Assuming Aziz has negative intentions is the precise opposite of it, exactly because you don't know him and could conclude in either direction with an equal (lack of) basis in evidence.

It is these people, the imperfect allies, who are in the position to turn the tide for everyone. It is actually their imperfection that makes this change possible.

Whatever your definition of a "ideal feminist" is, in social change, their role is to embody the ideal. The allies who don't quite agree with that ideal…

"A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men"

I get what you're saying about people who are generally on feminism's side not being beyond reproach, but this "true ally" shit has got to stop. I am telling you, as a guy, even when we understand there are problems and treating women equally is the only reasonable way to behave, it takes a long-ass time to really…

There are LOADS of White people who have done way, way, way more to fight for and protect civil rights for African Americans than I have, for instance (I am African American). Why wouldn't the Jezebel audience want to read an article by someone fighting for civil and human rights regardless of his or her race? I…

Yeah, sure. Aziz Ansari is in the PRIVILEGED GROUP! Growing up a skinny little Indian kid in South Carolina must have been a breeze. I'm sure he coasted along on nothing but privilege as the white male patriarchy embraced him. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. You are the problem.

That is not a nuanced or insightful reading of my comment or of Aziz's recent material.

It's unfortunate that this attitude of must be perfect pops up regularly on Jezebel.
