Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

they had an article where they bragged about beating up their boyfriends.

I've personally never seen an article like that, though? Do you have a link to it? That actually sounds like the thing that would get frowned upon over there. But it could have happened too.

Just have to add, I don't actually think Jezebel is amazing, and I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of the place. But it makes me tired when feminist spaces on the internet are just dismissed for being angry and man-hating, with hardly any evidence to back it up. It just feeds into the never-ending and negative stereotype that if it's a feminist space, then of course they must be angry and think beating up men is great!!

They made an article bragging about beating up their boyfriends. HOW FUCKING ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TAKE THAT?

That article is messed up. :(
But I guess my point is, that for every article they post that is completely wrong like that, they post a thousand that aren't. Because yes, Jezebel fucks up. But it's not like Jezebel is the angry feminist place on the internet to go to. I would never, never bother visiting it occasionally if it was, and kept seeing articles and comments like that.

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

But they have kept it up and have never apologized for it. It isn't like they were all, "Oops that was fucking stupid of us, sorry for that stupidity." Nope, it is still up and alive on their website. And the author continues to write more articles on that site.

da

Jezebel is hardly the worst place on the internet. Calm down.

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

[(Anonymous)]

You are right. Because there are worse places on the internet, you should not condemn less terrible ones. Apologies.

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Fine, I agree with you.

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

Yeah, that is incredibly shitty, and also part of the whole Gawker media bs. :(
But again, my point is, although sometimes Jezebel has articles that are terrible like that one was, it still doesn't erase the fact that they do have articles and posts that are respectful and insightful, and that it creates a mainstream space where women can safely talk about feminist issues (the comments are screened). Is Jezebel perfect and free from problems? Good god, no. But is it an evil, hateful place on the internet? No, it's not.

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

As long as Jessica Coen is in charge, that is never going to happen.

Jezebel is the sum total of its contributors, and all of its best contributors with the exception of Lindy West are gone. And Tracie Egan Morrissey is STILL THERE. I am completely unsurprised to see that she's the one who wrote that article.

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

[(Anonymous)]

NA

That article is fucked up and horrid. No one should be reading it.

But *every single* post on Return of Kings is fucked up and horrid. So why are you focusing on one post that Jezebel did rather than the multiple awful posts ROK do every day?

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

On the flipside, RoK is what it's supposed to be. You can go to it, realize you don't belong there, and leave. Jezebel looks like a safe space at first, so it can be hard to realize you shouldn't be there until you're getting pilloried in the comments. (Though I guess Jez is still better than sites where you'd get doxxed--I don't know whether they do that on RoK.)
