>>I think that people more and more understand how trite and really offensive it is to constantly be lauding the bravery of victims in general. (Because it reifies the "good" victim and prescribes better versus worse modes of victimhood.)

I think I replied to the right one because you seem to understand how pathological and evil it is that Jezebel is turning on this person for being actually successful at something (even if that thing is feminism and women's advocacy itself!) You're a sane person and you're an actual feminist rather than a depressed…

#1 rule of Jezebel: Any successful woman (especially one who overcame the actual horrific oppression that is living as a woman under Islam) falsifies the notion that the world makes it impossible for women to have happy lives, therefore they must be ANNIHILATED.

No one is talking about "reverse racism!" You're calling the notion of removing widespread condonation of rape from Indian culture racist against Indians! This is a stupid belief and you are stupid for having it!

Keep apologizing for rape culture in India and then claiming to speak for "feminists," that will get you far.

It's really hard to tell a real Jezebel account from a parody...

When you view your job in the world to be acting as the lawyer for Indian culture or Islam, to the point of LITERALLY DEFENDING RAPING WOMEN TO DEATH as a part of that culture which cannot be criticized, you are not a "feminist." Words have meanings, we're not just howler monkeys vocalizing nonsense syllables at each…

Not if criticizing any practice ever is deemed "racist", you can't! That's the point!

Because "cultures" aren't races. People who are genetically Indian or Arab or whatever can choose to participate in humanity as good people, or not. The culture that exists in India today is garbage and needs to be severely reformed. Some (but not all) people in "the west" have chosen not to live like humanity's…

You're missing the point — at Jezebel, you have to be so oppressed that even getting out of bed is a chore. If you are a woman who is successful at entertainment, business, politics, or anything else, you are showing everyone here that their problem isn't "the patriarchy" or "appropriation" or "twerking," it's that…

This is Jezebel, where saying "they have NEVER attended a gender/race studies class" is actually considered a zinger and not self-parody.

It's my understanding that most straight men are not rapists, are fairly happy to learn that a woman they are pursuing is willing to have sex with them, and do not give two shits about the sexual behavior of a woman they are not pursuing. The people who sit around the break room table talking about and "judging"…

Christianity has always believed that Paul's writings were divinely true. The people currently trying to rescue an outdated, useless concept (religion) with modern life's better values by claiming Paul was some sort of interloper and they "only believe in Jesus" or similar horseshit are the ones inventing the new…

I don't even know what the self-appointed lawyers for Indian misogyny think "patriarchy" means if they don't think it's part of a culture. Who is being patriarchal? Aliens? Screwdrivers? Small streams? Or people practicing the cultural system?

I really want to know where the secret classes on Being a Terrible Pseudo-Feminist are conducted. The lockstep hivemind around here, down to the use of "troll" to label any opinion with a hint of either sanity or actual concern for women in it, doesn't seem like it could have arisen organically.

Sati was ended by the evil British imperialists, so we probably need to get a Kickstarter going to bring it back, otherwise we're all racists.

But it's a beautiful culture and we can't judge it, try to change it, or acknowledge that it exists without being racist, so I guess this is the way India will always be forever, and that's a positive good thing. Another case solved by Encyclopedia Jezebel!

Yeah, pretty much. The idea of being a "Muslim feminist" or a "Hindu feminist" is laughable enough on its face, but it really is thrown into focus when people from those cultures post here and, inevitably, choose allegiance to their dumb cultures of origin (by calling you racist for criticizing them) over any sort of…

1) Most of the "double standards," "shaming," and sex-based misogyny that goes on is perpetrated by women towards other women, which people here don't want to acknowledge.

There's Cardinals fans here? I didn't know you could get a WiFi signal off a mullet.
