I will read who I want, when I want and i wont apologize for it to anyone.

You guys gotta quit being jerks to people who are TRYING. Now, if this idea of “no white male reading” was used as an excuse to pick up women, that’s obviously horrible. GOD I’m a kickass male feminist

So strong. So brave. You are saving poor oppressed girls around the world by not reading white cis male authors. Bravo.

Or you could choose your books without factoring in the race and gender of the author.

Come back to the “dark side” (white male authors) when you realize how bored you’ve been with the tripe you’ve been reading. Until then, enjoy or whatever.

to offset this kind of rampant stupidity, i’m ONLY reading books by white men this year.

I just wanna read more books, and, no offense, maybe less Gawker.

This is why Jia and Jezebel have the reputation they do, despite professing to be bewildered about the reasoning: you want people to be better but you shit on them when they try.

So racism and sexism is brave and cool???

“Shut up.”

The basic point of this post is......I dunno.

Isn’t avoiding reading anything by white males both racist and sexist? Like, I get the sentiment, but it doesn’t seem like something to be advertised.

Wait, isn’t performative outrage Gawker’s entire business model? just seems weird to be telling people to keep it to themselves when every article here is dripping with the exactly the same sort of unctuous claptrap.

I can guarantee that if Jezebel thought of it first they would have published it.

Me 2! Instead I’m reading “picture books” from white-hipsters. (with South American artists)

The cognitive dissonance must be like a thick fog rolling out of the Jezebel office.

I usually love your articles but maybe take your own advice on this one and, um, shut up. This article was painful.

Shut up. It’s always shut up with you people.

Sounds like Racism and Sexism to me

How about avoiding to use any inventions by white men.
