Well, that’s kinda my point. It was interesting because you were a despiser of theirs. It feels like what’s happened here with Emma is being ignored because we’re supposed to be on her team. But what she did is absolutely worthy of criticism and evaluation. Frankly, it has made her seem deeply disturbed to a great…

Not for Jezebel to state an official position, but for writers at the site who have normally not been reluctant to voice opinions about Emma and her work to weigh in? You bet.

From my comment:

I’ve looked repeatedly and that doesn’t appear to be the case. Can you provide a link? They did post one article originally when the video first landed, but that was several days ago, and the link was essentially presented without comment. Meanwhile, we get article after article about the Duggar family, even though…

Firstly, yes this is totally true. Whether it’s true is a seperate question from whether or not it’s a good or a bad thing. But it’s true.

Shame is the currency of the internet. It’s a terrible shame.

Nonsense.

Well, she’s not actually a woman. She’s a transwoman. And there is a substantial, meaningful difference. She should be treated well and have every equal right afforded to her, and I for one am perfectly happy to use language that delineates her as female as that’s her request. But that doesn’t mean people who choose…

I’m confused. The most glaringly shaming article I saw about this (well, in fact the ONLY article I saw about this) was on this very site. It wasn’t on Reddit. It was on Jezebel. What’s more, you guys already published a followup with quotes from the people involved explaining that it was a misunderstanding. Why do…

I remember one time he asked Michael J Fox about his sex life. Michael J Fucking Fox. Who even thought that rosy faced little cherub had a sex life? It was during a discussion about Parkinson’s, no less, and he just tossed it out there, out of nowhere, like it was nothing. “How’s the sex?”

People always talk about this idea. I absolutely hate it. The whole point of Bond is that he’s a chauvinistic, privileged, entitled member of the British establishment. He cannot be black. His whiteness is essential to his character. Bond is an asshole. He is what’s wrong with the world. And that’s why he works.

Happy to help.

What an extraordinarily low bar.

I’m keeping up just fine, thank you. That which is valueless may still provoke thought. I was raped once. Thought about it a lot. Consider the experience to have negative value.

As an abuse survivor myself, a feminist, and someone who is very wary of the usual belittling victim blaming tactics, false equivalencies and biases that accompany accusations of sexual assault, and who typically presupposes that if someone makes a complaint about sexual violence then it probably actually happened, I…

I’ve read them and I find them to be basically incoherent. Would you be prepared to translate them for me?

This comment is satire, right?

I may be alone in thinking so, but OMG this is such a fucking sick burn.

My net conclusion looks kinda like the following, which I’ve pasted from another thread:

“makes it much easier to dismiss the piece and avoid the critical thinking & self-reflection that it’s supposed to invoke.”
