Every December, homes across America are riven by discord. Spouses square off. Children rise against their parents. Roommates glare at each other across the living room. Even the staff of Jezebel is divided.
Oh good news, ladies. There's a man who thinks we don't belong in sports! And not just that! We should just shut the fuck up about it, period because we're just ruining it for all the men!
If you are lucky enough to have financial means and plenty of leisure time and a lack of more pressing responsibilities, you may be able to focus all of your energies on designing your "lifestyle" to your own utmost satisfaction. Congratulations on your good fortune. This does not qualify as a "job."
72 members of an Administrative Law class at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto received an email this morning from an anonymous student who will no longer stand for his/her peers' "peculiar eating disorders," including but not limited to hasty chomping, tuna, and unhealthy chips. "If I weren’t being polite, I would say…
These bourgeois pigs in business class must be purged from our skies. Why let them board an airplane early, free from the desperate urge to jostle for a space in the overhead bin for their sensible leather carry-on just so they can sip mimosas and sneer at the poor, corn syrup-coated plebes seated in zones 2 through 6 …
Yesterday, pastry chef Dominique Ansel Tweeted a photograph of a pastry. But not just any pastry: a cronut, held aloft in a single outstretched human hand and wreathed in a nimbus of angelic light in the Rain Room of the Museum of Modern Art like it was the motherfucking pastry messiah, the Word made Cake, here to…
Poet Rachel Rostad has zeroed in on some inconvenient truths for Harry Potter fans, namely that J.K. Rowling managed to create a fantastical universe crammed full of exotic, magical creatures while still marginalizing and fetishizing people of color. It’s really a stunning achievement, when one considers just how…
So I was a virgin until I was twenty-five (and a half!) and I spent about seven years freaking out about telling people, not telling people, even—so ironically—accepting a job to contribute to a sex and dating column for a women's magazine (they reached out to me; I'd been fired the previous month and needed to do …
Last week was Fuck You Week, Jezebel's first annual week of desperate emotional cleansing and unhinged psychic purging. But Friday took a turn for the awful and we didn't run our final entries. So we're doing that now.
This is Fuck You Week, Jezebel's first annual week of desperate emotional cleansing and unhinged psychic purging.
Dear woman who wrote "11 Qualities of the Perfect Woman" in the current issue of Men's Health,
Should we give chivalry another chance? No thanks. Chivalry is an archaic term that is only necessary if you think women are fragile posies who must be protected by self-proclaimed knights in shining armor. Letting go of the sexist word doesn't mean men shouldn't be polite and respectful, obviously. It means that…
This is Fuck You Week, Jezebel's first annual week of desperate emotional cleansing and unhinged psychic purging.
Hey, did you ever notice that sometimes men and women have sex with each other, but then other times men and women just talk and hang out and don't have sex with each other? Almost like...friendship? Confusing, right? I mean, which is it!? Are they having sex or are they not having sex? Is not having sex its own thing, …
Australia's prime minister Julia Gillard is one badass motherfucker. In an impassioned 15-minute smackdown in front of the house of Representatives, the country's first female leader gave a scathing speech calling out opposition leader Tony Abbott's extremely misogynistic comments, actions, views on abortion and…
Not to go all local news-style alarmist on you, but: brides and grooms, your extreme wedding photos could be putting your lives at risk. This conclusion isn't the result of a scientific study, it's the result of simple observation — if you're standing out in the middle of a busy intersection or jumping joyfully from a…
Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh, who a few weeks ago ruminated
"Babe" is the most hated pet name and "gorgeous" is the most acceptable for couples to call each other, according to a recent survey. But what about all of the pet names men use to catcall women whom they have never slept with or even high-fived?
Soon after a gunman opened fire on a Colorado movie theater killing 12 and injuring dozens, James Holmes freely gave himself up to authorities. And since his apprehension, we've gotten busy grasping, over and over, for what caused him to do this. He wasn't doing well at school! He wasn't Christian enough! He was…
"Grinding: to rotate hips in an erotic manner," explains the always helpful WikiHow in a guide that teaches teenage girls how to "be the best grinder at any party." But I know firsthand that grinding is too complicated to be illustrated in five simple steps.
Years of attempted public shamings and Facebook laments have failed to buck the leggings-as-pants trend. Now, one school in Canada, disturbed by its female students' public displays of camel toe and ass-meat, is laying the law down by formally and officially declaring that leggings are not suitable pants. Meanwhile, a…
The eternal G-spot dispute — do women have one or don't they? — rivals the debate over the existence of God. Now, a doctor claims he's finally found the Holy Grail, although critics say his research is laughably inconclusive. Wait, haven't we heard this "news" approximately fifteen million times before? Why is our…
What the fuck is this fucking bullshit. First of all, they are hideous. Second, I cannot believe this shit is back. Third, when I was a teenage* raver-ish club kid, we took our shoes down to the cobbler and WE MADE OUR OWN platforms (mine were from saddle oxfords, and paired with giant dickies and a T-shirt that looked …
There are many reasons why I hate St. Patrick's Day: I can't stand parades (I always get trapped in them by accident), organized day-drinking bugs me — I'm an adult, I can get drunk during the day whenever I want — and green isn't my color. But my biggest issue with St. Patty's (oh, and I also hate when people call it…
When this father discovered his daughter's bratty rant about him on Facebook, he decided to make a rant of his own. The only difference is his (which he thankfully decided to videotape) ended with him shooting a round of hollow-point bullets into his entitled kid's laptop to ensure that she doesn't do it again.…
"The enormity of their flat brain, the enormity of their stupidity is just overwhelming."
Two big things jumped out at me when I saw Vanity Fair's new June cover. The Katy Perry profile is cover-teased as, "There's Even More Than Meets The Eye!" but, I must admit, what I saw first was her ample Meets The Eye. And then there was the Hillary Clinton cover line. "HILLARY CLINTON'S THIRD ACT: DEALING WITH OBAMA,…
Reader Becky Sayers writes, "I found this on 10 yr old [daughter] Eliza's bulletin board this morning in her room— when I asked her about it, she said it was an "editorial" she wrote last night after looking at the miniboden children's clothing catalog." With permission from both mother and daughter, we happily share this…
The other night, the most disgusting thing that has ever befallen me in a bathroom happened.
Johns Hopkins University has emerged in the past year as an unlikely lightning rod for controversy. Between "satire" on "fat chicks"
