Red laces look good tho, which is a shame. Oh well, there’s always fuchsia!

Kathryn Hahn always looks perfect and seems fun.

Two of my favorite things in the whole world.

Morrissey is the fucking worst.

Public service announcement:

Of course it’s your call, but why not be okay with you and other white women being feminists and also make sure they are educated about intersectionality and privilege? To me that seems a better idea than white women denying they are feminists.

Her poor dog Lamby is the perfect example. She made a huge deal about adopting him, constantly posted cute pictures of him and got a lot of attention, and then... all of a sudden he’s gone, and she has some stupid excuse wherein she blames the group that she adopted him from? Maybe he did have issues, maybe she wasn’t…

I hope no one here ever has to meet Lena Dunham in person. I did once by accident while doing mundane errands. Based on my very limited interaction with her (and first hand observations about her behavior), I have no doubt that Zinzi’s account is true. I’m a woman a little older than she is, who initially thought I…

Ways to navigate whiteness and feminism - without being a White Feminist. The website Everyday Feminism has this stuff on lock. Every Jezzie should go there and read copiously.

Everyday Feminism has been calling out her shit for years.

She *does* get a lot of shit from conservatives because she’s not conventionally attractive. She REVELS in that shit, though. Her whole sense of style is, “Let’s see if I can make myself look less attractive so I can therefore be pissed off if people don’t see me as attractive!”

Yeah, I got that.

I’ve encountered lena dunham at more than a few work functions...she is a truly awful person and one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met.

It’s important to point that out because it intersects with another facet of Dunham’s zeitgeist - she’s basically the female Woody Allen. An unattractive person who nevertheless dares to be narcissistic. What chutzpah!

Yeah, it’s pretty gross. They claim they want to be all in this together, but shout down Black women’s voices because we’re not saying what they want to hear.

Jia is awful, full stop.

Here’s the answer, and I don’t think you’re going to like it:

Raising my hand as one who is severing ties. I used to say “Lena Dunham isn’t helping.” Now I say “Lena Dunham is actively hurting feminist and progressive issues.”

I’m not familiar with Zinzi Clemmons, but I’m definitely going to check her work out. This was a much needed call out, I honestly don’t get why Lena Dunham is handed so many do-overs every single time she fucks up and does/says something shitty.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after…
