Why does Jezebel even bother writing through an intersectional approach when you have hypocrites in the comments? First thing I see is some Becky decrying the Oppression Olympics. GODDAMN IT MUST BE NICE TO BE A WHITE WOMAN HUH?

I automatically roll my eyes at comments that start with “oh honey;” it’s fucking rude, condescending, and not at all necessary.

Your son sounds awesome! Mine is only four but he often brings home “girl books” from his school library and I’m so proud. One of them is called “I am a Girl!” and celebrates this little girl’s achievements and what makes her awesome. I hope my guy is like yours in four years.

Thank you! It is such rewarding work. Also, I never write his name either. I post the names of the women every year on Fb too. This year I saw that Bob Rae posted their names and their faces and it just gutted me.

God damn, that’s one of the happiest stars I’ve ever given!!

Your eight-year old son understands male privilege? That makes me so happy!

...Here’s a pretty decent reason for her inclusion:

you’re a fucking dick

For me, she belongs on the cover because 1) she was one of the few women who actually succeeded in a court of law over a man who assaulted her (and damn, that is NICE in a year where not enough abusers were held accountable; it was a rare victory) and 2) that’s kind of the point; it took an incredibly rich,…

That makes me happy to hear. I’m 35, have no kids but I feel like that children today have more compassion and empathy than we did as kids growing up in the 80s and 90s.

I’m not sure if you’re Canadian or not, but today is also the 100th anniversary of the Halifax explosion, and when I heard the Heritage Minute over the radio today I legitimately started crying. December 6th is rough.

Yup. I was feeling down because once again it’s December 6th, and this time article and announcement made me feel uplifted. Not even angry (at society in general) like so may other news announcements like this. Just, a little bit hopeful.

I have volunteered on the Board of a women’s shelter for the last five years and this year feels really momentous. December 6th is a tough day but I also feel like we’re making progress. We can do this.

It really is changing. My 8-year-old son is a stone-cold feminist. I explained the concept of ‘male privilege’ to him over lunch the other day and he totally got it.

Look the person dead in the face and tell them you only eat human ass, the way the lord intended. Of course this could back fire but hey, everyone likes a good story.

My favorite is when they bring up hip-hop or something sports related when you’re talking about a completely unrelated subject. Uh, what the fuck does Kendrick Lamar have to do with Belgian Waffles, Jan?

Or instead of calling you nigger they will tell about all their black friends and how they don’t see color and how they loved Get Out. Again I’ve about had my fill of white people for the next 12 years since these last 12 months have been exhausting

This is why I hate heavy labor (construction, drilling, mining, commercial fishing, truck driving, military jobs) in general. When you sell your body, you are the product. Your self worth and personal value is literally monetized. It’s gross. Don’t sell your body!

I’m aware, just wasn’t aware we were idiots for not controlling the weather. Good luck with your tax cuts.

I’m black as fuck and I get so hype over GBBO. I watch it and I’m like yes bitch I might make a black forest gateau.
