Jawbreaker.

I really think there needs to be a 10-year moratorium on assigning "Orientalism" in undergraduate courses.

Really? You know "a lot" of women of color PhDs who teach Chicana studies? How many can there be, in global academia?

It's only natural as Jezebel devolves that it becomes more like MySpace. I've always thought that one of the things that plowed MySpace under was that you often couldn't prevent someone's crappy Thievery Corporation, Tori Amos, or worse, from blasting out at you upon contact.

I commented on your post as well last week. I hope you take this second comment in the sense it is intended, which is to discourage you from thinking you are going on to a PhD program. I guarantee you 100 percent that all of the existing PhDs you come into contact with – including the grad student TAs and contingent…

Sororities are actually the ultimate hateful and discriminatory religion.

...And because to have a better chance at peer socialization and relatively normal lives, kids need to be around other kids in cooperative settings.

I think the person means something along the lines of "giving up the ghost" but apparently writing in the language of the hosting institution is no longer a requirement for Jezebel staff writers. I'm sorry to keep harping on this but there are so many qualified journalists out of work not to mention talented writers…

Isha Aran ... really got the Lindy West voice down! All this on behalf of Jezebel, of course, ostensibly for women...

I hate advice columns for white girl problems but that's not what the columnist said. People can easily find it on Slate.com, so look yourselves.

Actually you do sound like a bitch. Your now-ex friend is right. What's it to you if you already have the notes taken?

You're not alone. She's horrible for all the reasons the commenter just below (it'll turn up someplace else on Kinja but see Diggory). It's a weird kind of racism/sexism not to be "able" to criticize her (see: Bobby Jindal).

Spoken like a true Virgo.

After reading the Peter Singer Q&A on Gawker I glanced at the headlines on the adjacent site I've vowed not to look too closely at, and I saw this story about animals, which, even though the headline itself gave me little hope, I couldn't resist feeling curious about.

No, please, prospective breeders, DO NOT inflict experimental parenting yearnings on a creature who, though another species, loves you no matter and lives for 12 to 18 to longer years. This is a terrible throwaway thought. Animals are not disposable either. I hope you have neither children or pets.

Duke is not an Ivy League school. The cost of tuition is disproportionate to the quality of the education "sold" there. Outside of the medical school and related colleges, its research faculty is very unproductive, publishes very little.

Using the phrase "virgin-whore dichotomy" from Gender Studies 101 (where this phrase is actually played out) doesn't make her intelligent.

"Every frat guy is the worst." Fixed that for you.

What kind of demographic research does Jezebel do that leads your writers to believe that anyone - anyone in the world – is interested in evening talk shows?
