I know what your point it, I just think it’s silly. 

You’re right, the Jezebel readership absolutely only gets their news from this site and will now not ever hear about impeachment.

But we love good concepts like universal health care. 

She is going to prison. “Not going to trial” just means she’ll take a plea, like 95% of all federal defendants. The only thing in question is whether her attorneys will be able to negotiate for certain accommodations: minimum security facility (i.e. farm), close to home, etc. She will also likely get a fairly long…

I can’t stop thinking this every time I see his picture. 

Every.single.time I make the mistake of visiting Jezebel these days, they are busily throwing people who are trying to do it right to the wolves (see my last foray, re: Jameela Jamil). Why can’t this site stop scaring off people who want to learn, try to learn, and take it on the chin constantly for speaking up? 

Seriously, this whole thing has put me in a MOOD. Apparently using your voice/platform to amplify something is “stealing” from people without a platform. 

Oh puleeze. She hasn’t stolen anything, and supporting the tone of this article does nothing to be more inclusive of people of different sizes. Save your white feminism ire for people who deserve it, like maybe white people who wrote this article snarking on a non-white person.

Ah well, that just means someone who needed to see it saw it... :) 

True. I just get so depressed at the way women like the Jezebel authors seem so eager lately to join the patriarchy in trashing women who raise their heads up above the fray. Perspective seems to be in short supply around here lately. My bad for still making the trek over to this corner of the internet, I guess.

It’s just our daily proof that no matter what kind of woman you are, everyone will be lining up to take you down. It’s enraging, actually. 

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…

Everything we’ve heard about elitism is true. Up here in Massachusetts there are levels to this shit, and people who call it out in even the slightest fashion are marginalized. It’s seductive to be part of these “big thinker” institutions and the money that swirls around them. 

I would very much like Sarah Hyland to do something different with her eyebrows. I know it’s not my choice, but if her eyebrows were a democracy I’d vote for change. 

Oh god. I’m so worried about this--it’s not just mom but toxic siblings too. The gang-up will be horrible, and I don’t know how to protect us all from it. But I also feel like if he doesn’t have some sort of final conversation with her it will linger with him forever. 

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Luckily your husband had a great sibling to help navigate for so long—my husband’s siblings are still vying for her love/affection (mostly by demonizing us). Nobody really understands this dynamic unless they’ve experienced it, and we’ve lost a ton of family friends and community…

I am here to tell you that it’s as bad as you think it will be. ALL of our decade of recovery is out the window. 

Ordinarily I’d agree with you, but given all the variables I’d say Barron’s best shot is to have as little contact with his father (and honestly, the rest of his family) as possible. 

My brother and sister in law still jockey for attention, and now that we’ve removed ourselves, have gone nuclear against us (my husband for abandoning them, me for “ruining the family” by demanding they adhere to our boundaries around our kids.) There is literally no scenario that isn’t painful when you have a parent…

Luckily it’s my mother in law, not my mother (though helping my husband navigate this has been no picnic). And yes, no contact for 11 years next month. But now she’s got cancer so we’re drawn back into the fray. I hope your no-contact order stays intact! It’s the only way.
