I really did not need to see that last picture. JFC

Political activist? She has used feminism to sell her brand, but when it came time to call out the Alt Right, who views her as an Arayan princess, she was silent and still has been. And why? Because she doesn’t want to risk lo$ing a certain fanbase? Her donation in Tennessee is essentially sticking her toe in politics

The original title of the article was ether going to be “Well Actually, That Popular Thing Is Bad” or “I’m Better Than You: Why You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself”

I ... um, never thought we were supposed to AGREE with Ma’s racism. Is this a thing now? That if a character in a book expresses a view, we assume all the readers will immediately start sharing it? Like how schools banned Huck Finn because it has the N word, without realising that nuance (and, in Twain’s case, satire)

I hate that people dye their pets.  Ugh.

Harry Potter is derivative drivel so I think we started out that way

He did, and she initially told him no. So, even though post-OTR show she was more open to it, she probably doesn’t want him to go. Not really. But, he was never honestly on the fence about this decision—he was always going to go to this show. He looked to the hivemind with the specific goal of rationalizing going

I knew before I was even done with the title that there were going to be some awfully hot, woke takes in this comment section. Congratulations on not disappointing. I’ll be waiting for your learned exegesis of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

I know this might seem harsh, so I want to say upfront that I don’t mean what I’m about to say in a mean way and I’m being sincere: is she actually “very hard to live with,” or just not your (personal) ideal roommate?

Women are cast as the moral backbone of the society, so they become the custodians of sex. It’s men’s to take and women’s to keep. A woman’s worth is tied to how fiercely she guards it, so boys are conditioned to think ‘good girls’ say no and they are the ones worth pursuing. Her worth increases the more they have to

Lately, I’ve been bummed with the comments section in general. I’ve been reading since 2009/2010-ish. I know I don’t read as much now. Simply because the comments section has moved away from the old Jezebel and not in the best way. It used to be standard practice that sizes and weight are not mentioned. I’ve seen

No, it makes your husband sound like a child who lives in denial.

You are so not alone. Another poster brought this same thing up on another Saturday night social thread a few months ago, and let me tell you, the responses were many and long. The consensus is - it’s not you, it’s adulthood. And it’s also not personal - it’s also the unintentional self-focus and family-focus of

It felt like every Trump gaffe, all 11,0000 of them, barely moved the needle, while any time Clinton stumbled a little bit, it was a huge swing in Trump’s direction. Almost as if voters just needed a reason, any reason, not to vote for her.
