Can someone explain why people pay attention to Jezebel<\/strong>? I know it’s supposed to be a staunchly feminist website but it’s just so godawful! I have already registered my disgust at its policy of auditioning its commenters. But the offenses keep piling up.<\/p>\n

Now Jezebel is offering<\/a> $10,000 to anyone who can provide the original unphotoshopped pictures of Vogue’s February covergirl, Lena Dunham<\/strong>. How many things are wrong with this stupid gambit for attention?<\/p>\n

1. Why offer cash, turning their ‘quest for truth’ into a bounty-hunting exercise?
\n2. Why humiliate a woman they profess to admire?
\n3. Why claim “This is about\u00a0Vogue, and what\u00a0Vogue\u00a0decides to do with a specific woman who has very publicly stated that she’s fine just the way she is, and the world needs to get on board with that.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0” when that is so clearly a hypocritical lie?<\/p>\n

It’s about page hits! But meanwhile, any claim to ‘feminism’ is surely negated by this mean fumble at pseudo-truth seeking.<\/p>\n

Poor Lena. I don’t like her TV show but she doesn’t deserve this. DUH, the picture is photoshopped, they left out her fucking arm! Why don’t they choose a more traditional thin beauty-queen type to humiliate?<\/p>\n

This is some kind of shaming situation, even if it’s just Vogue-shaming or Lena-shaming. Feminists are not supposed to approve of shaming! Recently, Jezebel engaged in some chola-shaming when they denounced Lana Del Rey for dressing like a home-girl. What fucking fuckers they are.<\/p>\n

Jezebel is more dead to me than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
