Imagine how I feel about feminism coming from a lower class (it wasn’t easy after my parents left the medical profession) background and being black.

Feminism is a FUCKING joke in the black community, because the movement isn’ about equality. It’s about privileged upper class white women lording their privilege over


Thank you so much for saying this. I visit everyday but I comment infrequently and your comment helped me understand why.

Don’t worry, plan-to-be parent, all of your plans will crumble like ash and you will be amazed at the delusions parenthood will inspire in you. Statements that start with “well when I’m a parent” are honestly the cutest.

The erasure of mothers, and in particular poorer mothers, is such an issue. It’s one of the ways the feminist movement makes it abundantly clear that the needs of upper-class white women are paramount, while everyone else needs to take a backseat.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. I’ll take my baby wherever the fuck I want. You’re not a feminist. You’re a close-minded advocated for single childless women. Fuck you.

When your country decides to actually provide decent paid maternity leave, then perhaps we’ll talk. Till then....nope. You don’t get to whine about this.

I used to comment regularly on Jezebel for years (under a different name) and stopped because of the feeling the author describes when someone she assumed would be an ally made her feel unwelcome.

Oh for fuck’s sake. The attitude that you can’t go to someplace without your kid because it’s “professional” and that you need to have a babysitter or child-keeper at all times is anti-feminist to the core and supports notions that the only people who “deserve” to reproduce are the affluent.

Look, it’s impossible to tell what even happened the way these university activists even talk about the issues. They are so insulated from society at large that their jargon and lingo is impenetrable if you’re not in their direct social circle. They are not revolutionaries, they’re just a clique who think that if you

It’s probably a little PTSD from all of the Halloween stores around right now.

Well maybe she doesn’t want to play the whole no true feminist game anymore. I don’t think feminism is just about equality for both sexes. Movements are about actions and not definitions. Feminism is as feminism does and if a movement reaches a point where some of the most prominent figures in it are doing and saying

Does it ever occur to Jezebel that the reason so many women go out of their way to avoid identifying as feminist is because Jezebel, Amanda Marcotte, Jessica Valenti, everyone who made the astrophysicist-in-a-shirt cry, everyone who got Tim Hunt fired et al have tarnished feminism & made people unwilling to be

Feminism isn’t the Borg

Yeah, his poor poor wife had to order the help around on her own for, like, three. whole. hours.

Jeez, this poor poor hipster doofus got run through the ringer just for seeing a movie? You can bet your bottom dollar he’ll be muuuuuuuch sneakier about his Me Time in the future.

When he called to ask if seeing a movie was cool with his wife she should have said no it's not that cool buddy. Why can't people use their goddamn words and be honest? What the fuck is wrong with humans?

People are just jealous of the life these girls are living and the future they have in front of them and/or these people just need something to be outraged about.

I’m seriously, no snark intended, not seeing why this should matter to me or anyone.

Yeah, but I don’t care what you think?

I don’t really understand all the excessive hate for Buzzfeed on here lately. It’s not like they offered $10k to buy untouched Vogue photos of Lena Dunham or as if they took cheap shots at Amy Pascal’s private online purchases. Don’t worry, Jez, no one is muscling in on you.
