Mmk.

You do realize the logical problem with this, right? If “black culture” isn’t a monolith, you’re arguing that “femininity” or “womanhood” (or “masculinity” or “manhood”) is, something we know is categorically not true. No, I’m not trolling (but I’m sure I’ll be accused of it), but the analogies are actually pretty on

I really think you’re blowing this way out of proportion. Jezebel is not a serious site full of serious comments — there are other forums that do that much better (like MetaFilter). I would not take a funny, lighthearted comment as a personal attack on this website. You’re going to give yourself a lot of unnecessary

ZeKang is very clearly joking. I’m not sure calling them a troll is necessary.

Omg when did he become so amazing, and why didn’t I know about this? I just went to his Twitter and am cracking up at his on-point jokes about Libertarians, conservative Christians, our capitalist economy...

The two sure go hand-in-hand in your case.

Oh, okay, so you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. Good to know.

Might have been a good idea to mention that in your reply, then, rather than coming across as the Internet’s premier body language expert. ;)

Hahaha. Touché!

It’s really breathtaking to me to see how many people on this site are incapable of having a discussion about this issue without immediately resorting to accusations of “TERF” and “transphobia” and “transmisogyny.” Part of the disconnect between transfeminists and feminists is in fact this refusal to listen or to

“It’s like she can’t acknowledge that there is anything distinctive about femininity because everything she associates with femininity is bad or weak.”

Are you speaking on some authority other than your own interpretation of her body language? Because if you aren’t, I don’t think you can assert that PuppyKittenClub is wrong.

I for one am glad to know who she is, because she’s one bad ass bitch.

Truth.

Considering his terrible write-up on Clooney that was clearly trying to be passed off as edgy humor, I would say that yeah, the snark is intentional. And it falls pretty flat.

Grrrl, I’m 5’7” and I love a man who’s my height or a couple of inches taller. I think you hit the reasons on the head. :)

Actually, your policing of other people’s reactions and interpretations of this piece are more akin to trolling than any of SlumCut’s comments to date.

Kelly! I know the recaps are over, but for next season, is there any way to ask for SPOILER ALERTS in the comments? I am reading the books but only have finished the first, and while I want to read the comments on the episode here, I can’t because there are spoilers everywhere without warning (like comments about how

What?! This is the most feminist show on TV, and this was an incredible treatment of a harrowing and traumatic experience. I’m sorry, but this show is NOT rape culture, nor are the books. This viewpoint is stunning.

Even weirder is that there is an additional clock to the left, in basically the same room.
