That's a good point. Women definitely don't come across very well in this book; they're either insane, slutty, or delusional. Or all three. (Andi!) Go is the only solid, rational female character, and her only purpose is to be there for Nick; she has no life or motivations of her own. (Side note: their weird flirty… Read more

That's so crazy! Please find a photo of yourself wearing it?? Read more

Yes! Just found this photo of me wearing it in college. Ignore my cooler-than-thou look, I think this was for my friend's "fashion blog." Same one?

I STILL have a cardigan that I bought at Contempo sometime before 2000; it has a faux fur collar and pearl buttons and is incredible and I plan on wearing it as long as it fits. (It was a sweater and now it's more of a mini cardigan? But it looks great and I always get compliments on it! I don't know, there's some… Read more

OK I GIVE UP YOU'RE RIGHT. Read more

Oh my god. That is definitely worse. Read more

You said below that "Hollywood is good on courtship and bad on relationship, and it gives people — women, mostly — some pretty skewed expectations. " Do you think it's harder for male love addicts to deal with their issues in a different way because of the stereotype that more women are love-obsessed while more men… Read more

They're still tweeting from their account https://twitter.com/celebboutique — they're based in the UK and say "We are incredibly sorry for our tweet about Aurora - Our PR is NOT US based and had not checked the reason for the trend, at that time our social media was totally UNAWARE of the situation and simply thought… Read more

Well, I didn't mean to say that stricter gun control laws would have prevented his death... I just meant that I haven't been able to find violent movies entertaining ever since I was confronted with a real life tragedy, which is why Dodai's piece resonated with me..."the dramatic intersection of fictional bloodshed… Read more

Agreed! Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but it hardly takes a genius to realize the woman is completely out of touch with reality/approaching McCarthy status. Read more

That's actually the opposite of what I said in my post yesterday. I said: Read more

"Even if we don't like what she's doing, that's our opinion" .... yes, and it's my opinion as a Jezebel writer that Mayer should admit there's a massive gender disparity in the tech world. I'm not saying she has to dedicate her life to the cause, but it would be nice — and really meaningful — if she would at least… Read more

Great. Thanks for letting me know. Read more

to clarify: i'm getting a lot of emails telling me to check out pinktruth.com. Not really interested in Mary Kay stories since Virginia Sole-Smith did such a beyond excellent job with the Harper's piece. Interested in newer businesses. Thanks! Read more

She said she stopped reading it three years ago. I think it's worth noting the changes the magazine has made and how far they have to go. Hmmm, maybe I should do a longer piece on this — go to the library and flip through the past five years or so of Seventeens and see how/if the magazine has evolved. Read more

It's fascinating hearing about everyone's experiences with what seems like a "new generation" of Mary Kay-like schemes. I'd love to speak more at length with anyone who's had a bad experience/knows anyone who has had a bad experience with one of these companies for a longer story. Email me! Katie @ Jezebel. Read more

I'm glad you shared this story because the "one size fits all" tone of the article left me wanting. I don't know enough about the drugs to get that into it — and I'm no "infectious-disease expert" — but, in my experience, intense drugs have intense side effects. Read more

Okay, I actually don't think Seventeen is menses-stigmatizing though! Like, give me one recent example of how it is? I think it USED to be and it's not really fair to stereotype based on your idea of a magazine you've never read. (Admit you've never read it! You told me you haven't!) I think I felt defensive of… Read more

This post (and Tavi's original one), as well as some discussions that Jenna and I had off the site, made me realize that I went a little too easy on Seventeen in my post last week. (This one: http://jezebel.com/5925508/teen-vogue-will-never-pledge-to-promote-beauty-in-all-forms-because-it-doesnt-want-to) I was more… Read more
