    "Come for the nipples, stay for the feminism"


    That's what brought me to Jezebel. The nipples:feminism ratio was much lower than hoped for, but I came to like it anyway.

    Calling it a "liberal hate site" is a bit much. There's no justification for that.

    Is this surprising? Liberal dudes often think because they don't call us bitches to their faces they are exempt from sexism and misogyny. Also they tend to think the greatest triumph of the feminist movement legalized porn.


    I've said it before and I'll say it again: liberal dudes are the WORST.

    @Penny: I generally don't like the cockfaces. And liberal dudes who turn out to be cockfaces are upsetting, because they're like "What?! I agree with you! We voted for the same guy!" They don't understand how they could possibly suck, while conservative cockfaces are like, Yeah, I suck a lot, get mad; I love it when you get mad at me! I am so clever for enraging the liberals! and libertarians cockfaces are all I'm the smartest person in the world for thinking that I should have the freedom to get as rich as I want, and fuck everyone else and I am absolutely not priviledged, how dare you suggest it, you're just mad because you're not as awesome as me...

    On a side note, I thought you all have always maintained that page views don't matter? Or was it that writers are not paid by page views?

    @Lymed: I mean, it is a business enterprise. If no one read a magazine, the publisher would eliminate the title (see: Conde Nast's Portfolio). However, it's hardly the sole metric, or else the entire site would be puppy pictures, wedding tales and relationship stories...

    More catering to the male gaze. I'm beginning to think it's not sex that sells, it's getting guys hard that sells.

    Here I thought that Huffington Post was attracting pageviews by employing fonts so large that they have their own gravitational pull.
