No way. Tilda Swinton will Orlando the shit out of that and will be Grace from adolescence on.

This is obviously the role Nicole Kidman’s prosthetic nose from The Hours was born to play.

Why? I starred for funny, not because of agreement with the substance of the paragraph.

Agreed. But I think people are getting too hung up on the race factor here. Perhaps because it’s the most obvious. But types aren’t just about race. And it’s one thing to have a type, it’s another to have such strict criteria - of any type - that you will only consider dating people who meet said criteria. If your…

That’s very true. But I think some people do have subsonscious types in terms of facial structure and features and body types though, and sometimes people aren’t even aware of them and will date people who may be of different races but still fall into the same “type”. I tend to be attracted to tall, thin men with…

What the fuck? At least you found out early on.

One of my closest guy friends (who’s of Chinese descent but born and raised in Australia) once made a remark about a girl he was dating and I can’t remember the details but I do remember he said something about “white girl B.O.” and I remember asking him if girls of different races smelled differently and he said…

lol wut?

Unfortunately, when we begin dehumanizing and discarding potential mates based on categories like race, that might mean we’ve been too accepting of the idea that “your type is your type.”

“If your “type” is your race alone... you’re a racist. By definition.”

well, their dad also married a fucking Kardashian so really, death by hookers and blow is a step up from that.

Never said I hated everything about Jez. But no, they’re not my go to for literature or art, or humour. Though Mark is pretty funny. They used to have a really funny writer but she’s at Vice now I think. I didn’t know that not finding something funny was “sniffing my nose at everybody".

Hence the tag “NBA Shortlist”, the year where 4/5 finalists are women? Like I said, satire works better when it’s relevant, and funny.

Never mind that 4 out of 5 of the 2015 National Book Award finalists for fiction are women... A fact that Jezebel chose to ignore. http://www.nationalbook.org/nba2015.html#.…

You and I had an exchange once on books (in one of my previous jezebel identities that I’ve had to abandon after being blocked/dismissed because some of the writers here don't take well to anyone disagreeing with them) and we actually agreed on a lot. Assuming you're the same Sita. I don't except everyone to agree…

Oh, I know it’s wannabe satire. But like most Jezebel “satire”, it forgets to be funny and wears its intentions earnestly on its sleeve (case in point: the recent piece on Pitchfork being sold to Conde Nast). And yes, Franzen (good writer, total asshole - I’ve enjoyed most of his books but that doesn’t mean I don’t…

Did people seriously look at this and think it would be a good idea?

So far I’ve yet to be impressed (or even just entertained) by the vast majority of the writers Jezebel features, or defends. Not to mention their unhealthy Franzen obsession. They’re similarly clueless when it comes to art. So yeah, I have a hard time taking their musings on literature seriously.

If popularity was used to determine prize-worthy literature, whatsherface would have won a Pulitzer for 50 Shades of Grey.

So... I see Jezebel is still on a mission to prove Jennifer Weiner was robbed of a Pulitzer/National Book Award?
