Instagram Still Being Used To Showcase Stupidity

uhwut

Looks like Jon is having a fun Sunday, if not a very smart one. Not sure documenting yourself driving around with open booze is the best way to celebrate a wedding, but hey, you do you.

Maybe Cecily can jump in and high five them for sticking it to the DUI checkpoint man.

Dodai Stewart Leaving Jezebel

Dodai Stewart, longtime staffer at Jezebel, is apparently joining the staff exodus. It seems she will be moving to Fusion.

leaving

No word yet on what Dodai’s possible position might be. Dodai has been at Jezebel so long it’s basically her identity.

Congrats to Dodai if she’s getting out before Jezebel goes any further down the crapper than it already has in the last 3 weeks.

ETA: She’s apparently going to be the “Director of Culture Coverage” at Fusion, whatever that means.

Karl’s Daughter Will Not Go To College

Karl Heitman, father of a princess, is tired of getting the “stink eye” when he tells people his daughter will not be going to college. Asking whether it is “wise to expect young women to go to a university and pursue a career”, Karl tries to explain why his girl child will not be needing higher education.

Let’s face it; feminism has so influenced American culture that it has infiltrated the Christian culture just as much in more subtle ways. The average Christian woman is not trained from the home, nor encouraged, to find a husband as an alternative to going to college and starting a career. This is sad and unbiblical.

Karl says he is not opposed to his daughter pursuing a “higher Christian (emphasis on Christian) education” as long as her motive is not “so that she can be independent of a man”. He continues by admitting it can be a grey area if a woman winds up with a husband who is unable to work; but rather than see a woman in the workforce, he suggests some kind of vague community aid to support the family.

He concludes this bizarre post by saying women are not supposed to “leave home at a young, vulnerable age, get a formal education, get a reputable job, and then have a family when she feels like it”, which apparently is his justification for encouraging his daughter to remain dependent on others for the whole of her life. I guess he expects her to bank on good fortune, and should that fail, on the charity of others. Why you would not want your daughter to be able to fend for herself if need be is a mystery to me, but ok.

Has The Jezebel Staff Exodus Begun?

Emma Carmichael, the 25 year old brought on as Jezebel’s new Editor-In-Chief, has barely been at the helm for two weeks and already staffers are leaving.

Lindy West informed everyone via twitter that last Friday was her final day at the ladyblog.

On Friday longtime Jezebel staffer Tracie Egan Morrissey announced she too would be leaving.

I’ve learned in the past eight years is that I actually don’t have to prove myself to anyone as my awesomeness has been so…blatantly obvious this entire time and my only regret is that I ever—even for one moment—gave a flying —- about what some —hole had to say about it.

Rumors are swirling that Dodai Stewart – passed over for the promotion in favor of a young white woman – may be considering her options as well. A tipster writes:

She could so go anywhere now…it will be so confusing to all of us if she stays…

A “wait and see” attitude seems to be the plan for now.

“Peacock Angel” Thinks The Dove Ads Are Nazi Propoganda

In case the ladysites out there didn’t give you something to faux poutrage over today, “Peacock Angel” offers you proof that the Dove ads are basically pushing the Nazi agenda.

I’m pointing out that valuing natural beauty and trashing artificial beauty is really— eugenics-y and also literally something the Nazis did, and how that ideology kind of plays into this Crap.

She then includes a huge paragraph describing Nazi Germany’s “ideal woman” –  a tall, large hipped Teutonic fraulein with naturally blonde hair and perfect skin. To which PA responds that the “whole “healthy and able to birth children easily, but not fat, with no makeup or hair dye or plastic surgery” ideal of womanhood is so eugenics-y and creepy”.

This all sounds like the sort of connections people make when they’re shotgunning Natty Beamers during a boring camping trip. Or the sort of discussion that happens at the Jezebel editorial meetings. Whichever.
