Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

See, that would a legitimate complaint about it. Most of the people here on fs treat it like some evil feminist hivemind.

No it's pretty much just a den of the fuzziest third wave choice feminism in existence.

Don't shame women for their choices or bodies! Unless they're writing a fitness blog about how great it is to be fit and trying to inspire others! Then they're fat-shaming, buurnnnnn themmmmmmmm! And got forbid you use technology to have kids when you're ~~~old~~~. What about the ~~~~children~~~~

Also, some of their top commenters are off the wall batshit racist. But it's okay, because they're racist against white people or Jews.

But then it also has Thighlights, so you know, there's that.

RACIST AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE BUZZER ahahahaha ty.

I'm sorry, I think you meant to go to http://jezebel.com/?

looooooool

You're right I'm sorry, it takes power and privilege to be racist. If someone says something virulently hateful about all white people or Jews, it's because they're having a bad day. We need a word for the racism that lacks power or privilege.

Bigotry? No, no wait, that's not cute.

DA

Conflating "all white people" with "Jews" is disingenuous at best. I'm sure you know perfectly well that Jewish people have been persecuted and subject to exile and slaughter for a couple of thousand years, whereas white people, as a group, have not.

Really, you can do better. I have faith in you.

wat

Antisemitism isn't bigotry because not all Jews are white? I don't understand this thread.

AYRT is committed to the idea that, because anti-Semitism is a thing, Jewish people do not have any kind of privilege in any place or at any time. In fact, it is impossible for them to do so.

It's not the fact that you said that not all Jews are white. It's that you implied that any Jews are white.

SA - to clarify, I am not AYRT, but that's their position I think.

Honey, she said all white people or Jews. OR. As in, "white people" and "Jews" are separate groups and one could hate one or the other.

L2read.

Yes (aside from white Jews, obviously) and there are top commenters on Jezebel who hate either, or both. That's what I said like... right in the first comment. Your position is that it's not bigoted to say virulently hateful things about white people, but it is for Jews, because they've been oppressed as a group, but white people have not? Or are you saying that because they've been oppressed as a group, hating Jews qualifies as "racism," whereas hating white people as a group is only bigotry? Or did you think I was saying that these things are exactly the same in every context, as opposed to saying they are both something Jezebel commenters do which are tacitly accepted by the readership and mods in a way that wouldn't be acceptable there about any other group? (In which case, uh, well... L2read.)

I am legitimately confused here.

Yeah, I love those idiots who are all, "I'm not racist because racism=power+privilege" (or whatever they use).

It's like wow, cool. You are not racist, you are just a bigoted asshole. That is sooooo much better.

It's also funny cause they say you can't use the dictionary definition of racism since dictionaries are compiled by white people, but the privilege + power definition of racism was invented by a white person.

Yup. Someone should point that out to them. I wonder what the new invented word/definition will be.

The best are the ones who get angry at even the smallest amount of perceived stereotyping, but feel perfectly free to go "white people are ____" or "white people think____", or worse, are tinfoil hat tier antisemitic but refuse to acknowledge any kind bigotry because they themselves have faced some kind of discrimination.

It's like the gay dudes who think it's okay to be misogynist because they're gay. ~Amazing~ and ~the best~

It's like the gay dudes who think it's okay to be misogynist because they're gay.

I've heard people saying this happens, but have not seen it. Not saying it doesn't but I'm really curious, where does it crop up?

With Stephen Fry

...I don't know much about Stephen Fry, but the little I do know...yeah I can see it. :/

His archive is terribly laid out so I'm having trouble finding it, but Dan Savage wrote a whole essay on this phenomenon.

I've only encountered it once myself, though, and it was with an older gay dude. Maybe it's an attitude that's disappearing.

Bit ironic coming from a guy who said vaginas look like "a canned ham dropped from a great height." I guess he would know about the phenomenon.

DA

... man, I looked that up because it sounded like it just couldn't be the whole story. I mean, I hate the guy, but surely... At first I was like "oh, it was in the 90s, and he says he regrets it, okay..." And then he continued on to say that he only regretted it because people got mad at him for it. He still seems pretty proud of himself over that comparison. Wow.

I was gonna say, when I saw it was Dan Savage I was like "wait he wrote an article critiquing this? uh"

also now I just want to come up with gross comparisons for dicks and anuses because when you get down to it, genitals in general just look kinda weird
