No need for that.

Considering that the first reply on a post in the thread on the danger of being a woman - saying that men are unable to understand this issue since they are not commodities and we are - was an angry woman thinking this was insulting because men suffer from sexual violence just as much as women and how dare we say…

at least he is aware? I have to sit my father down and explain to him why going jogging in a park at night might be dangerous for a woman or he won't get it.

Yes, they were. From Claire to Brenda to Ruth. Six Feet Under seemed so much more 'real' than other shows, not everybody was living in a loft. Even a series set in a definitely wealthy middle class setting was better than the make believe on other shows. The people looked 'real' too. Yes, of course they were extremely…

No, I meant that the way they characters framed it in the show exactly the way you said. It was a truly great episode and a story that was much more than a 'quirky death of the week.'

So that is where I got it from! It's one of my favorite shows. It shows how much it affected me and how angry it made me and how much exactly that bugged me. She wasn't 'overreacting' as they framed it, she was a woman just reacting and rape often enough happens in your own circle of friends.

The newish Jezebel is misleading. When you read a 'Dirt Bag' it's all done in a very snarky tone. I really want to write a piece about intersectionality and working conditions or a critique of how women are portrayed in the media but they force me to write about the sex life and adventures of these millionaires as if…

Being European that socio-economic divide in the public transportation system always makes me so sad.

I'm so sorry. That is such a horrific story. I have no words.

I'm so sorry and angry.

I meant that that is the tone those Dirt Bags are written in and thus they mislead the readership that comes here expecting something else from Jezebel and it's part of why we need so long to figure it out.

what, no no I am NOT a staff writer!

This makes me think of a recent study a friend told me about how we impose our gender expectations from birth on.

I was walking down the street the other day after what had been a nice day with my friends. I said good bye to them and walked home. After parting with them for about three minutes walking down that street I passed by a dirty old man who was making obscene sexual gestures at the women passing him. I didn't really get…

What confused me in the beginning was that it was not one poster. It was everyone. This is what the Jezebel commenters have become? This is what they are about?

I was honestly surprised as to what was going on. Seriously, a 30 year old teacher tearing me apart telling me I would insult young women and destroy their hopes and dreams and self esteem because I don't fall for the commercialized music industry? To then realize that this 30 year old teacher is Swift's absolute…

Sorry, some very few men make that experience. A handful compared to millions and millions of women in all countries over centuries.

I did google it. This is horrific even though it is nowhere near the percentages women are trafficked.

No, I'm just beyond fed up with this shit from supposed 'feminists' and yes logically that would be the very result of what you are saying. If prostitution is just another capitalist wage labor transaction like any other then it is just another of those jobs you can't turn down.

But he's a man, he's never been a commodity and he'll never understand it.
