    Really good news. I know there is a lot of hate for Jezebel, but they were a very useful aggregate for news on abortion, especially after the court struck down Roe v. Wade. And Paste Magazine will likely be a far better company in charge of it than G/O Media.

        They had some pretty heavy biased reporting. It was a feminist news source, but their version of feminism was pretty toxic. If you weren’t their version of woman (not necessarily in the Trans sense), you were fair game and they attacked you while supporting other women doing very similar things.

        Ultimately they probably caused more harm than good with their articles.

            But it does mean you shouldn’t slut shame woman A for being in playboy and tell woman B to slut it up.

              I have no idea what you’re talking about so it doesn’t really make sense to accuse me of defending that.

                If you’re unsure what they’re saying, maybe you should ask first before justifying your opinion.

                I’m talking about what jezebel did, it wasn’t treating women with kid gloves, it was treating similar acts of women completely differently because one wasn’t their ideal woman.
