I knew that comment would have a swift and severe backsplash.

An inexperienced coach needs a reliable brain trust around him.

Burke doesn’t even work here anymore and he’s still giving Deadspin a solid 5 WAR.

I miss the days of Dodai and Lindy. I guess I’ve outgrown Jez.

Yeah, I’m struggling with what’s wrong here. I thought people with privilege were supposed to parlay it to stand for those without.

She’s attractive and thin and wealthy. Therefore according to the Jezebel Rules of Acceptable Feminism, she can’t be a true feminist or advocate for body positivity.

I feel like Jezebel has become a platform where people write using snark in place of an actual personality or opinion. And it’s getting boring as shit.

Honestly, as someone who’s had issues with this in the past (haha, who hasn’t?), moving from “you need to love yourself!” to “things are fine.” was a really, really good switch. I’m fine. I don’t need to love my body or whatever, just accept it and treat it well. And having a therapist who let me set that goal (“I…

Stop it. Stop attacking women for having opinions, speaking out, and trying to make things better. What the hell happened to Jezebel? I’ve been around here for years, and recently the rhetoric has just become so hateful and isolating. This is ridiculous. 

I came here to say this exactly. Why is Jez suddenly hating on every woman who speaks out on something, regardless of whether it’s a good or bad message?

Man, people really can’t win. Jameela Jamil has been saying mostly the right things for a long time, and backs it up by taking celebrities who hawk dangerous ideas and products to task. So she’s not the first to say these things, does that mean she shouldn’t say them? Or that she deserves this snotty recap of her…

These are the same young, entitled idiots who derailed 2016 in favor of our current situation. Grow the fuck up and quit throwing a tantrum whenever your ideal is fully realized.

I honestly don’t get cynical people. What’s the point? That if we don’t get 100% of what we want, it’s not worth it to try for anything? That failure is inevitable, so fuck it? Is it a defense mechanism, to protect yourself from getting your hopes up?

I think the idea of “electability” has changed, but, uhhhhh, it’s just a little different for one side (elected a black president) and the other (elected a racist sunsetting clown).

Fucking hell, man, the man’s brain being mush is an important fucking issue. It’s not “free ammo” for Trump. It’s incredibly germane to the question of whether he should be the nominee and/or the president. It’s a much bigger difference between him and the candidates with working brains than their healthcare proposals…

No offense, but your entire comment is a perfect encapsulation of what I’m talking about. “Well, they made good points, but let me latch onto this one potentially unreasonable point and make that my example.” I don’t think you’re doing it in bad faith; it’s just a problematic way to frame the conversation.

I don’t think this article is arguing one way or the other. The takeaway that I had is the entire discussion around this matter is seen almost exclusively through the male gaze, which shapes the discussion and decisions that follow.

I struggle to balance “he’s a shit person”, with “he’s an employee who has not been convicted of anything.” The second is objectively true, and the first is subjectively true. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to work while the wheels of allegation and investigation and hopefully justice continue to turn? 

uh because ramsey is v good and marrone is v bad, shove away my lad lol
