I find it none too ironic that large swaths of feminists are so quick to denounce various celebrity claims of feminism, yet are equally as quick to cry solidarity when someone "attacks" radfems or the like. Talk about counterproductive...

Huzzah for legal polyamory! This has nothing at all to do with child abuse or other hysterics. This is about legal, consenting adults being allowed to engage in consensual relationships. This ruling is a feminist victory.

The oppressor capitalists are denying the labor right to 1 hour of paid "me" time in every 8 hours of labor. It's the humane minimum to maximize health and reduce incidents of workplace violence. Corporate pigs, keeping the worker down!

Nobody knows my sweet spots like I do.

He might have a point. I am really super gay for me.

Side effect of having written a history of the modern latex condom paper in a sociology class, active interest in human sexuality, and general peversity. I'm sure there's a condom otaku out there that makes my handful of facts look like ignorance.

Sagami loves claiming to be the first Japanese condom manufacturer, but they were beat to market (both in product release and nationwide sales) by International Rubber Industries (Kokusai Gomu Kogyo) which was founded in the same year. They are, however, one of the three very first that all launched in '34. They are…

Ew. Colored lights are the only real choice. Winter festivities are meant to be colorful, lively, and organic. I will never, ever understand what I regard as a freakishly OCD interior decorator kind of mindset that heartlessly crushes all the vigor and joy.

None of these hold a candle to: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2012/03/fan_fi…

And with that, you win all the Internets.

Jezebel has been on a streak of viewing non-gendered issues through a gender essentialist lens. I suspect that the irony is not lost on at least some of you. This issue is about a culture of individualism and personal sufficiency. The avoidance of "clingy" guys is just as prevalent. Just to be clear, that isn't a…

I was completely unprepared for so many to come out of the woodwork to defend this guy on Jezebel. I know full well the excuse and mimimize train. I just didn't expect it here in remotely such strength. Are the parallels to rape apology that obscure? Is the racism inherent in lecturing people of color about what is…

He seems to have mistaken you for a British songstress and if his own identity is so confused, professional assistance may behoove his well-being.

As a white male, let me reveal my glorious woman of color dating secret to you other white males: I just regard and talk to them like any other human being. I've found it to be a very successful tactic. I understand that approach may be so far outside the norm as to ping you fringe bullshit meter, but seriously trust…

I think people who don't believe this is possible, let alone probable, never experienced much rough and tumble in their lives. If you disbelieve, talk to people who did crosscountry running, played football, or so on. You'd obviously be surprised what kind of freak injuries can happen all based on how one falls.

Thank you! You really hit the nail on the head.

Using exotic locales and peoples as mere props in stories about the travails of wealthy white people is a classic expression of racism and white privilege. Presenting this story as anything remotely resembling the SADDEST THING EVAR OMG when commonplace suffering in that prop backdrop is far worse is obviously…

I didn't say it was not dramatic. I didn't say she added details to spice things up. Neither notion comes close to my statements. Straw men as a terrible substitute for an actual response.

There's definitely some weird pushback, especially for Jezebel, on calling this out as a classic travel narrative expression of white privilege and racism.

Rich white people telling melodramatic versions of their tales of woe against a backdrop of non-white exotic locations where the most commonplace of woes makes the rich person's suffering mild by comparison is an entire trope and expression of racism in itself. If you really don't understand how this is an expression…
