I really don't want to be dragged back into this, but you are aware that your avatar could easily fit someone's definition of porn, right?

lolwhut?

I dig what you're saying but since the focus of this site is on women then that's bound to happen. For my part, while the word bugs me in certain contexts (and this is one of them), "breeder" is not what I would consider a "major" slur. I mean, in general, there's a lot of camaraderie and affection between gay men and…

It's a question of context. I have heard "breeders" (always in plural) refer to straight couples and parents by cf people but I have never heard "breeder" (singular) to refer to a straight man. In singular I always hear it used against women, and I've always assumed that has something to do with the fact that women…

Whenever I hear the term "breeder" it's almost always a slur of resentment from gay men against straight women who snag men that are unavailable to the gay community. I mean sure, I sometimes hear that word to refer to straight couples (in plural), but I have rarely — if ever — heard that word applied to a single…

Hi. You are posting on Jezebel. Jezebel is a blog for women. Hence, the number of women commenters angry about the word "breeder" (which is indeed a word almost exclusively used against women, as women are the ones who, you know, carry babies and squeeze them out.)

You can add me to the list of girls who hate it when gay dudes call girls "breeders". Most of my gay dude friends hate that word too.

Why is it Tina Fey's responsibility to figure this out? If she drew a strong line in the sand, then regardless of whatever her personal stance is, she'd be torn apart by people in the feminist blogosphere no matter what, so why should she bend over backwards to satisfy a need for unambiguous conclusions? Why are we so…

OK. First of all? This looks like some sort of perfume commercial. Secondly, I just don't think I'll ever be on the Harmony Korine cheerleader squad.

Where have I defended viewing porn in full view of other patrons? First the "PUBLIC MASTURBATORS!!!!!!!!" straw man, and I am so sick of this straw man, too.

Thanks for clearing all this up for us. Who knew the answer to "What is porn?" could be laid down so easily. Why hasn't the SCOTUS ever called you?

I'm curious as to whether everyone who's advocating censoring porn in libraries is okay with people looking at Jezebel in libraries. I mean, right now, this picture, this picture, this picture, and this picture are all showing up on my home page for Jezebel and could all very easily fall within many parents'…

The whole point of my argument is that what constitutes "pornographic content," and the assumption that there is never an appropriate usage for it, is very slippery, which is why making rules about censoring it from a public facility wouldn't work. And why the ALA routinely lobbies against legislation or rulings that…

It's "arrogant" for a librarian to assume they know more about libraries & library policy than you do?

I remember learning three things about Andrew Carnegie. 1. He built a bunch of libraries because he believed they were the great equalizer in society, 2. He was a robber baron who loved the idea of stocking libraries with his own pro-unregulated-capitalism/pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps values, and 3. He was very…

Yo dawg I herd you like bones so we put a bone in your bone so we can bone while u bone.

I anxiously await the official response from Camp Snooki.

Calling a commenter "completely immature and unpleasant" is not "calling out" and in no way part of civil debate and has nothing to do with the topic. (Also: given your clear misunderstanding of what "ad hominem" means, yes, you might consider more intensive attention to your studies.)

Ad hominem! Classy! #trollpatrol

Yes. Go back. Please.
