Almost as bad as when people refer to Dad’s taking care of the kids as babysitting. It’s not babysitting when you’re the parent! It’s taking care of your own offspring!

I find it telling that the LW’s last paragraph is all about her fears that if she doesn’t continue her relationship with her dad he’ll start drinking or self-harming. That says volumes about what she was raised to believe was her responsibility. 

It is extremely upsetting to find out your parents are people, with so many flaws. It’s worse when they do something that doesn’t jive with your personal ethics, which they helped shape.

This is sad - in their letter, the writer says they assumed a divorce would be their father leaving because of poor treatment on the part of their mother and that he was an attentive and loving partner. I’ve been the one who gives and gives and gets nothing back. It’s exhausting and dehumanizing. And yes, he could…

I don’t know who Larsa Pippen is and I don’t know what Philipp Plein is, and I don’t think my life would be improved by finding out.

Is it clear he’s actually hitting on him? Those conversations were extremely boring.

As usual, the commenters on the previous article were asking more and better questions about this story than the paid writers for this site did.

I think Cardi B. recently showed growth in acknowledge her transphobia, but I could be wrong.

Anyone who has experience is imperfect.

I saw a post saying that the reasons Stacey Abrams was not picked boiled down to colorism and fatphobia. I understand that those may be factors in how Stacey Abrams and Kamala Harris are perceived in their lives. The factors that I think have more influence is that Kamala is more experienced and is more well-known on…

“Imperfect is basically the same thing as bad!”

When I first started to read Jezebel there were similar complaints but I am now seeing it over and over for myself. It is frustrating. A lot of times I click on articles and go straight to the comment section. I get better information here- like a burrito will potentially help with my annoyance lol.

I give up on demanding any kind of consistency from the Jez editors at this point. The defense for that ridiculous headline was supposedly that they were mocking other media’s treatment of the process, but that wasn’t touched on in that piece itself, apparently we were just supposed to know that they were judging…

because not Bernie

This...could pretty much be Jezebel’s new tagline. Kind of like how they keep shoving Cardi B down our throats, in spite of her being a noted transphobe. It’s totes O.K. because Jezebel has trans writers! I posted an article about Cardi B using “ch*nky” to describe her kids’ eye shapes, and I was told that it was…

She (Ashley Reese) was challenged on this by a reader and her response was to essentially say that Jezebel isn’t a legitimate publication and that they can’t be sexist because some of their best friends are women.

It was The Bachelor: VP Edition, a wry acknowledgment that the sideshow flattened women who are powerful in their own right—many of whom are better and more interesting politicians than Biden—into nothing more than pawns, dissected based on whether or not they would help Biden’s election chances.

I know right? I’m actually a registered independent but the right has gone so far bonkers that anybody who’s not a raving right wing nut is a “liberal commie socialist”.

Kubrick did stage the moon landing. But he insisted on filming on location, because he was a perfectionist.
