Aaron Glaser, a comic who was banned from the Upright Citizens’ Brigade amid anonymous allegations of rape, which subsequently went viral, has—as promised—sued UCB, UCB artistic director Shannon O’Neill, and managing director Alex Sidtis in federal district court for allegedly failing to conduct a formal hearing…
“It was probably one of the scariest things that ever happened to me,” New York-based comedian Jasmine Pierce said in a video posted to her Facebook page on October 15. Wearing a red baseball hat that read “Game On,” Pierce recounted her experience being served with an eye-popping $38 million defamation lawsuit by the…
Driving my son to preschool last week, I found myself stuck in traffic behind a beat-up Toyota Camry with taped-over taillights and a charmingly askew bumper sticker that read “NO FAT CHICKS—CAR WILL SCRAPE.” Briefly I imagined him pulling into the preschool lot in front of me, so I could tell him that the problem…
Season 2 of Lifetime’s unexpectedly great series UnREAL will do what the real-life Bachelor has strangely never done, and feature a black bachelor.
As a proud man, I often crave more images of myself on television. Every time I change the channel, I’m forced to watch yet another woman shove her cultural dominance in my face. They’re crawling out of duffel bags, they’re saving the world, and—on ABC—they’re even joining the FBI!
Today, we at Jezebel—Protectresses of Man Feelings—stumbled upon Thought Catalog’s “15 Men React To The Idea Of Taking Their Wife’s Last Name After Marriage.” We were aggrieved, nay, heartsick as we contemplated the gnawing terror experienced by Poor Men who are asked to take the names of their female partners.
The creator of a new social media site for men - called Manbook and bound to confuse lots of dudes who are there for something else — is angry that women (especially feminists) might try to join the network. So he's issuing a threat: Sign up and die.
A recent campaign to stop the phenomenon known as "manspreading" on New York's transportation system has men's rights organizations in a tizzy, especially in Canada, where one "advocacy group" is demanding men be allowed to spread their legs as far and wide as they want to to avoid a pain more awful than anything…
The first ever International Conference on Men's Issues took place in St. Clair Shores, Michigan (right outside of Detroit) late last week and while no representative from Jezebel was able to attend (the last weekend in June is when we meet to raise our Diva Cups in a toast to misandry), many highly capable…
Meet Marilyn D. York, a divorce and family law attorney practicing in Reno, Nevada. She will get you yours if your wife has been secretly plotting to divorce you even though she's "finally losing that baby weight after nine years and hooking up with your son's baseball coaches on Facebook." (Coaches, plural.)
A new bill in Wisconsin that promises to promote "Dads' rights" by giving super rich "Dads" the "right" to pay significantly less child support turns out to have been written by (drumroll please): a wealthy male political donor who doesn't want to pay child support!
Sexual assault in the military has become a topic of much debate this year, bringing huge amounts of media scrutiny to an issue that's all-too-often covered up or ignored. However, there remains one area of military sexual assault that's gone largely unmentioned and unexamined: the issue of attacks on men, who,…
This is Fuck You Week, Jezebel's first annual week of desperate emotional cleansing and unhinged psychic purging.
There are divorce lawyers and then there are divorce lawyers, the latter and emphasized of which hang out in super secret clubhouses, keep stashes of Sports Illustrated under the floorboards, and assure all clients that, just as soon as they learn the secret handshake, all the secrets of divorce court prejudices will…
The best part of today, aside from the fact that the Affordable Care Act was upheld, has been the rush of schadenfreude that comes from watching sourpuss Michele Bachmann types flip the fuck out about it. The latest group to react poorly are men's rights activists who are upset that health care reform spends too much…
I'd like to take this moment to thank Men's Rights Activists for filling my cold black heart with delirious glee every time they come up with a new dumb idea. The newest one? White dudes, tired of the uppity bitchiness of western women, should marry a smiling, submissive brown lady, like the kind that wear banana…
The newest cause célèbre for men's right activists (MRAs) has nothing to do with divorce law, "false rape allegations", or the dangers of "sperm-stealing" feminists. It's about the C-word. No, not the ladybusiness one. We're talking about "creep."
God, you guys, you know what sucks? How men are responsible for all human achievement (except, uh, actually making other humans) and women just shit all over them. But now, thankfully, the Men's Rights movement has found a musical prophet fit to deliver the message that men are fed up with the rampant abuse from the…
The charming gentledudes-about-town in Reddit's Men's Rights Community have been feverishly running around in their little hamster wheel brains for the last few days in an attempt to help a message board member solve his urgent problem with his girlfriend. You see, it seems this man's dating one of those baby crazed…
Reddit's gotten attention recently for the charitable projects it fosters. But it's still home to r/mensrights, recently named as a hate site by the Southern Poverty Law Center. How does Reddit reconcile its good works with its very vocal assholes?
