They claim they are not a feminist site as the reason why they post “controversial” stuff, which is fair enough, if their business model is better served by distancing themselves from feminism, I believe it’s their prerogative. However, Jessica Coen had no problem being featured as one of the “new faces of feminism” in her role as EIC of Jezebel at The New York Magazine. So, they post photos of a woman being raped with a clear conscious because they are not feminist. However, the Editor in Chief has no problem drumming publicity for the site on a feature about feminism.
I believe we need a new label for this: cognitive dissonance feminism.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
