YES. I feel like When I read her content and comments nowadays I might as well be reading something shaeline Woodley wrote about feminism...jezebel is writing more and more articles that make me question whether they are a real feminist publication...and constantly blaming millennial and college kids! As if we are

Red flags always go up for me when people start bitching about “political correctness.” Lots of it is just lazy thinking on their part and an unwillingness to be anything other than a total dick.

Shorter version of what he said: “people aren’t allowed to say whatever they want without being called out for their b.s. anymore.”

All very lovely. :) I expected to read something that was body negative and overly superficial but instead found a heartwarming statement about life partnership.

Sooooooooooock puppet.

It’s mad at me for not addressing it directly.

which is actually a pretty clever way to start introducing gender abolitionist ideas into the debate.

actually I think its perfectly fine to flat out dismiss this author and others which such backward beliefs. It is not up to the opressed to educate the opressors. we all have the internet and if you were so eager to learn you would educate yourself.

I appreciated that jez took a brief break from referring to this woman as a baby for this article. We don’t know much agency she exercises over her brand, but we can safely assume that calling her a baby (even as feminist commentary) doesn’t help and is pretty disrespectful to her as a person.

Where have trans women silenced cis women? When have trans women ever presumed to speak for cis women? I’m genuinely asking, because I have literally never seen that.
What this article is addressing is Caitlyn Jenner speaking of her experience as a trans woman. Never in her interview did she presume to speak for cis

That’s like saying that a white presenting octaroon that’s been passing has had the lived experience of a black person, tho. And I say this as the mother of a pale biracial child. It’s not the same. It is an authentic experience of a masked black person that the world treats as white. Just as Caitlyn enjoyed the

It seems like a very characteristically second-wave response to transgender women. There seems to be a kind of aversion to the notion that gender is in, any way, inborn, that there is any validity to the notion of “female” and “male” brains. This seemed very characteristic:

I have a feeling OP’s gonna be fulllll of questions.

I would agree that the last thing we need is more feminist factions, except that that’s already an established faction. The “trans women are not real women so therefore they don’t belong in women only spaces and their voices should be essentially silenced, etc. etc. -insert more transphobia here-” faction is a

i’d like to believe that, but jezebel’s history of attacking black feminists/womanists is well documented.

This paragraph made me headdesk:

This:

I am not really a fan of Ariana Grande, specifically her cute baby thing with the head tilted down and the eyes looking up all “who me?” HOWEVER, my dislike of her styling (for lack of a better word) doesn’t take away the fact that what she says is on point.

WOAH i couldn’t even finish it. that article was truly awful. it completely denied the rights of trans women to be called women, amongst other things. it completely invalidates their realities. i’m a little disgusted it was published tbh. i’m not sure why its okay to consistently and proudfully declare trans women

Well referring to Caitlyn as “Bruce” and using male pronouns. She’s a woman.
