The truth is that street harassment isn’t about sex. It’s about power. It’s about taking pleasure in degrading another human being. Most harassers know damn well that shouting sexual slurs is a lousy seduction strategy. But whether they harass alone or in groups, most men who openly stare, yell, whistle (or worse) aren’t interested in getting laid, though they might happily jump at the chance if it were miraculously given. What they want is the thrilling reminder of their own masculine power –- a power they feel more permission to use when the weather is warm and women seem to be wearing fewer clothes.

There’s more where this came from if you have a few minutes for sheer pleasure and renewed faith in humanity.

Hi, I’m not trying to be mean but this is a full on Schwyzer hate blog so education!

• He’s racist. Because only WASPs understand ‘elegance’, ‘self-reliance’, and ‘a sturdy work ethic’. 
• Still a racist. He’s not saying men of color are prone to jealousy and violence unlikes WASPS but it’s really a person of color thing to associate violence with love.
• Though his WASP-y self DID try to murder his ex-girlfriend out of love so maybe it’s a WASP thing after all!
• Capitalized off Trayvon Martin’s death despite you know, racist tendencies and violent urges.

Jezebel snarks and condemns Jay-Z for his “change of heart” about the use of the word “bitch”. From the article:

You’re 42 and you didn’t know that it’s not all about you?” And in that vein I’d like to direct an eye-roll in the direction of Jay-Z, also 42, after he wrote a poem to his newborn daughter Blue Ivy stating that he’ll no longer refer to women as bitches in his song lyrics. Because it was totally fine before, apparently.[…]

While positive change is great and all it’s still a few hundred shades of irritating that he wasn’t smart enough to realize this before he had a child. So excuse me if I withhold my slow clap.

Yet, the guy who actually writes for them, who built a freaking career on exactly this narrative of change and redemption after doing ostensibly worse stuff than calling a woman names, does get a free pass and is sold as “valuable” and “a necessary voice”?

THIS TOTALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE, YOU GUYS

EVERYONE LOOK OVER THERE

Seriously fuck him.. 

Is anyone terribly surprised he quoted Dan Savage, who’s said to speak for the LGBT+ community while hatin’ on bisexuals, trans* people and lesbians? 

And now he wants to explain how a cis man needs women to affirm and accept his manly, manly sperm in order to love his body!

For a young man raised with the sense that his body – and especially his penis – is “disgusting”, a woman’s willingness to accept a facial is an intensely powerful source of affirmation.

WHAT THE FUCK.

Cis men, let me affirm something: The world is designed to appreciate your penis. The phallus is a symbol of power. 

The fastest growing cosmetic surgery isn’t for your penis, it is for vaginas. Cis men aren’t sold wipes that hurt their genitals, not the way people with vaginas are. 

Oh, sure, cis men get small dick jokes - and I’m not saying that’s acceptable. Whatever your size of penis, it is fine. It’s natural. But those jokes don’t go anywhere. Jokes about how gross and weird vaginas are? Those jokes turn in douching, into vaginal reconstruction, into people thinking their vaginas are gross.

I can’t count on two hands the amount of people I know who have never received oral sex because they think their vaginas are “weird”.

So FUCK YOU HUGO SCHWYER and telling people that if they love the men in their lives, they should accept facials. 

(There’s nothing wrong with liking facials, receiving or giving. There is something terribly wrong with guilting people into any sexual practice)

Branwenmaeve says “It must be great, having a spot on a feminist-leaning website and getting all these women to talk to you about their sex lives, not bad for a guy who tried to murder his girlfriend. in her sleep. Capntim responded “I’m not getting this. Are you genuinely happy for him, or did you win at something here?]

Someone posted this comment on the anal sex article on Jezebel today.

Here is the link.

Holy fuck. 

This comment isn’t on the article anymore, it looks like. So here’s yet another problem with Jezebel. They’ll let racist bullshit run rampant in the comments section, and excuse this by saying the moderators can’t be everywhere. But you make a comment about Hugo Schwyzer’s attempted murder of his ex, and they’re able to moderate that.

For anon who just asked why I have a beef with Jezebel - this shit is why.
