Powerful men are embracing the idea of white female tokenism in exchange for dropping any discussion of structural inequality? Let's have a parade!

I'm not a huge fan of everything Sandberg said, but I think that only someone in her position actually could reach many men. I've also seen a trend of comments about "Lean In" showing up in the Facebook feeds of some women I would never have thought of as feminist-friendly in any way. I'm glad Sandberg used her…
I've found an opposite phenomenon to exist, too - men who are intensely attracted to you but ashamed of it, so they'd disparage your looks loudly or hide you from their friends, etc. because it would hurt their ranking in the hierarchy if they're seen with a woman who falls shot of the generally approved standard of…
I agree with this and I think it goes both ways. If a woman is conventionally beautiful there is a belief that she's being beautiful AT YOU—so if you go for her and get rejected, it's like she tricked you and the response is a similar level of crazed rage. A woman's appearance isn't just the most important thing…
I'm a long time lurker on Jezebel. I started reading to get a better perspective on the issues that plague women. So first of all, thanks for all the articles and comments that have helped expand my views and understanding. It really saddens me to hear this going on. I'm just gonna try and keep doing right by everyone…
I completely lose respect for a man when he dresses like a 13-year-old boy (cargo shorts, T-shirts, Keens or sneakers) yet won't have anything to do with a woman unless she's spent 1.5 hours on her hair and makeup, and is dressed in cocktail attire and heels.
I want to sympathize with you and all but if you don't want to be called "black" you should do something about it. Have you thought about doing something about it?
Indeed. Well I will be the first to admit when I wrong. Thanks for clarifying that point. This is something that is relatively new to me and I'm trying my best to understand. I apologize to all who were offended by my ignorance.
My parents raised me to ask questions, challenge authority and expect the truth. Which is all well and good for a teenager or young adult, but at the age of 9 or 10, that gets you sent to the principal's office for being a smartass.
The thing that gets me about women and the endless, futile quest for perfection: the terrifying amount of male anger out there towards women who are considered "ugly." I'm not talking snark or sarcasm or negging, I'm talking FURY. When I see the rape and death threats made against a woman who's done nothing more then…
Good for you!! Since I'll never be pretty and I will never be polite without keeping my mouth shut it's just best that I stay indoors at all times.
Perez Hilton was ridiculous but at least it used to be funny. It's now boring as fuck. It's all about Dlisted.
Person is shitty to celebrities, becomes a celebrity, people start being shitty to him, he now doesn't think people should be shitty to celebrities. Funny how that works.
Oh, he was an asshole for years and it's come home to roost? Good. Not only did he fat shame when he himself was quite a big boy he was also a pretty femme gay man who liked to make fun of any woman he deemed too masculine. SaMAN Ronson, Jennifer MANiston and calling Chloe a transvestite. He's a trans phobic,…
Wow check your "I'm capable of baking cakes that don't taste like vaginas" privilege.
Perez has moved to New York, we learn, because he wants to surround himself with happy people and become happier himself.
Error. Error. Error. Does not compute.
All the other problems with their app aside, what guys like this consistently fail to realize is that beautiful girls have no shortage of men willing to take them to dinner. Like, they're not so hard up that if you dangle a meal at a nice restaurant in front of them they'll accept.
They seem like just the nicest guys. THE NICEST GUYS.
Um, we were in the midst of a major Australia fascination in the '80s, that's all I got. It's not a very good movie.
Though to be fair, I'm now married to an Australian and I still giggle whenever he says the word "knife".
