Yeah that guy sounds like a piece of shit. Just because a woman is horrible doesn’t mean sexual humiliation is suddenly on the table. Like does this guy think it’s ok to call people racial slurs as long as they’re republicans? I’d guess yes.

Arranged marriage is not a quaint tradition. It is deeply oppressive, often with the bride’s family expected to pay a dowry because the woman is considered burden. I am extremely grateful my mother raised me away from that bullshit. I know it’s very fashionable to pretend that oppression of women is just a cultural…

Thank you for a rational comment. I am really tired of people romanticizing abuse and violent misogyny under the guise of tolerance. Yeah America sucks in a lot of ways too but at least the US has made spousal rape a crime. Not true in India!

I come from a culture with arranged marriages and you’re really misunderstanding how horrible and miserable they can be. Abuse is rampant. Honor killings happen. I know everyone is super eager to demonstrate how tolerant they are but this is bullshit.

I think Ariana is very pretty but she looks like any generic bratz doll type. Her and Selena Gomez both try to push this mature sexy thing but they both look 14 to me. Pete is very cute but his personality is a huge turn off and he also looks kinda malnourished. However he also looks very young so I’m not creeped out…

Consider for a moment how few rapists and abusers ever see any consequences. And he would have almost certainly continued his abuse in the future because he had plenty of enablers. Aren’t women and those men who care about us allowed to feel anger and rage about what he did? It’s perfectly reasonable in my opinion to…

I’m a woman and super excited that I just hit my 200lb squat goal about 2 months earlier than expected. I’ve never been athletic or strong my entire life (I’m 31) but since starting strength training seriously about a year and a half ago the improvement has been amazing. It’s great to have an external measure of…

Is anyone else put off by the way Jidenna says to “revere” women? It almost reminds me of John Kelly lamenting that women are no longer considered “sacred.” Like, we’re not asking for special treatment or to be put on a pedestal. Also in case anyone is interested, anthropological studies indicate that human societies…

No one ever mourns the loss of women who are killed or traumatized by abusive men. No one talks about the potential they had for growth. They are just throwaways, they were never going to achieve anything, but men are always given the benefit of the doubt. They always have infinite potential. Men have to do so little…

A lot of people find it really easy to assume the women they care about would never find themselves in abusive relationships because they are “good girls.” In their mind victims did something to deserve being treated this way. That’s how they can sleep easy at night.

Thank you for your humane, thoughtful advice to letter #2. I am pleasantly surprised that a fat woman can ask you for dating advice and not have it be reduced to either “lower your standards” or “lower your weight.” And inB4 some asshat says “why do fat women get to have a preference for fit guys,” what I am talking…

Except he was extremely defensive of Mario Balotelli who is his friend. Flat out refused to believe allegations against him which are now being investigated by police. I was a fan of his but that ruined him for me.

Why are so many shitty men on here complaining that women should just say no? I can’t imagine having the gall to tell an entire group of people that they’re experiences aren’t real and their fear is unfounded. The men who try to minimize the problem are just as culpable as the actual perpetrators. If you, as a man,…

The really sad thing to me is that she pressured people into cosmetic procedures unrelated to health, and they have to suffer horribly because of it. Plastic surgeon types are so unscrupulous, promoting and preying on people’s insecurities.

Good thing reputable journalists are more empathetic than you are

It would be nice if people expanded the definition of gluttony to include gold-plating everything and being a greedy amoral piece of shit.

He’s hardly “extremely obese,” his BMI is probably 30 or so. It could even be below that because he has like zero muscle tone. He could lose weight by dieting and would still look terrible because he doesn’t exercise.

Thank you. Yours is the first comment here to recognize why this is a problem. Instead, Jezebel commenters usually love to share diet tips and congratulate each other on how easy it is to lose weight (not realizing that it usually comes back because their “diets” are unsustainable and probably cause metabolic damage)!…

I kind of think Donald Glover would be more likely to root for the dainty white girl
