Jezebel, the notoriously misandrist and gynomyopic online magazine launched by Gawker Media, is finally being shut down.

For those of you who have been around a while (~10+ years), this is huge news. Jezebel is famous for articles celebrating domestic violence against men, such as the article Have You Ever Beat Up A Boyfriend? Cause, Uh, We Have.

Excerpt:

"According to a study of relationships that engage in nonreciprocal violence, a whopping 70% are perpetrated by women. So basically that means that girls are beating up their BFs and husbands and the dudes aren't fighting back. With Amy Winehouse busting open a can of whupass on her husband last week, we decided to conduct an informal survey of the Jezebels to see who's gotten violent with their men. After reviewing the answers, let's just say that it'd be wise to never ever fuck with us."

Thanks for sharing that great news. I see two good things in that story:

That misandrist rag won’t be around any more.
Gawker Media said it didn’t fit their philosophy and they were unable to sell it. I’m under no illusion that misandry will disappear anytime soon, but I’m hopeful it’s perhaps a less marketable commodity than it once was.

Begone female demons

Top_Farm_9371 · 2023-11-09T18:57:07+00:00

What I hate most about Jezebel is the hypocrisy. They loved ridiculing woman who didn't follow their ideology of feminism, but if men were also critical of that woman, they would accuse the men of sexism. Somehow it all comes back to the idea that if a woman did something wrong, well, it was because the patriarchy. No accountability.

Byyyye "ladies"! You won't be missed.

G/O Media said earlier this year that it would experiment more with using generative artificial intelligence to write stories, which can be more cost-effective, but has led to inaccurate stories and drawn ire from staffers and readers.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Away_Entrance1185 · 2023-11-09T19:13:45+00:00

Archive everything in the Internet Archive!!! We need to showcase people just how ridiculously misandrist many of these publications were.

I'm glad the monster is dead, but we need to photograph its corpse so future generations will believe it existed. Otherwise they'll be gaslighted into thinking that stuff like this never existed.

Inevitable_Dark3225 · 2023-11-09T18:12:57+00:00

Oh no! So anyway...

SeniorBootLance · 2023-11-09T18:40:36+00:00

My biggest concern is where the former contributors, writers and editors and up continuing their careers.

Where will their influence spread to now, and how will it be countered in the future? We must, as men, plan ahead for the future and develop plans for all contingencies, starting with the most likely/realistic and working out way down to the most impractical.

Mycroft033 · 2023-11-09T19:33:50+00:00

Heh. They tried to sell it and failed.

GltyUntlPrvnInncnt · 2023-11-09T19:02:44+00:00

Good riddance

Buckowski66 · 2023-11-09T20:01:16+00:00

Probably just means Buzzfeed and HuffPost hire some of Jezebel’s angry cat lady writers and pumps up the mean girls routine for them.

guitarb26 · 2023-11-09T21:19:58+00:00

‘It’d be wise to never fuck with us.’

That’s cringy as fuck.

Do they really think that assaulting grown-ass men that are unwilling/unable to defend themselves (& aware of the consequences they would face for doing so) makes them badasses?

Have a fucking word with yourselves.

First, congratulations to all on a victory.

Second, a note of moderation about that victory: They shut down rather than recognize that their position was invalid. A true victory would have been to convince them to moderate their views and acknowledge men's problems, which would have been a victory for them, as well.

Now, this may well be naive about the purveyors of this particular website, but we should all pay attention to any opportunity for mutually beneficial outcomes; it's a lot easier to win if no one loses :)

masterkey8 · 2023-11-09T18:05:01+00:00

Whoever took the decision, you have my respect.

Ok_Persimmon5690 · 2023-11-09T20:28:00+00:00

Let me guess, because patriarchy?

Alarming_Draw · 2023-11-09T21:11:34+00:00

Good riddance.

About time we burned that witch of a website-and warmed our hands from the embers...!

Banake · 2023-11-09T21:11:08+00:00

Good news.

Banake · 2023-11-09T21:13:12+00:00

...And nothing of value was lost.

ERiC_693 · 2023-11-09T22:29:18+00:00

I remember a voice for men screenshotted the comments on an article about DV against men (mocking male DV victims, not advocating for them as in true feminist fashion!) And the pulled the article after the comments were posted on AVfM.

The Jez also celebrated magic mike as female empowerment while complaining in copious articles that half naked women is sexism and male privilege, male gaze etc.

It's a feminist rag and a cesspit of misandrist bigots as most things to do with feminism is. I presume the owner has just stopped making money out of it though. That's usually what middle-class, white feminists are driven by anyway. It's no longer lucrative.

Alarming_Draw · 2023-11-09T21:10:13+00:00

WOO-HOO!!!!

Literally SO happy when I read about this!

The world is so messed up it's hard to get the excited for one small win but still good to see regardless.

Townsiti5689 · 2023-11-09T22:52:13+00:00

Strange how all these stupid "news" blog type sites that have been pushing leftist propaganda for years have started to fold one after another as of late. Wonder what's going on. Perhaps the financial backers that have been propping them up and keeping them afloat are finally pulling back. I'd like to believe these people are finally coming to their senses, but I think maybe it's a sign a serious recession is indeed coming and they've stopped investing in their pet project of manipulating dumb people into believing ridiculous things, at least for the time being.

Spanfeller said the company made the "difficult decision to suspend" Jezebel, after the team failed to sell it. Deputy editorial director Lea Goldman led the sales process, as Axios previously reported. Spanfeller said she spoke with more than two dozen potential buyers.

Did anyone offer them a crisp and pickle sandwich? If pushed, I probably could take that up to a chippy paprika cheese royale (grill the chips then shallow fry them, then sprinkle the chips with salt and paprika)

"Few decisions over the course of my career have been as excruciating, and I want to make clear this is in NO WAY a reflection on the Jezebel editorial team," Spanfeller said. "Unfortunately, our business model and the audiences we serve across our network did not align with Jezebel's."

I've read this numerous times and I still don't get it. It's got to be a direct reflection on the editorial team and their output.

Catch up quick: G/O Media, the parent to niche consumer websites including Gizmodo, Kotaku and The Root, laid off 13 staffers in June. The company sold its lifestyle website Lifehacker to Ziff Davis in March.

Is this the who's who of shitty websites? The only thing that makes sense is they hoped the different companies would be profitable. That they'd be able to sell advertising space on each of the sites but there wasn't either enough traffic to get better ad placement or the interest just wasn't there.

2023-11-09T23:18:13+00:00

A garbage outlet for garbage readers. Is anyone surprised? They never have the demographics for these sites.

flibbidy_floob · 2023-11-10T11:08:07+00:00

I see on another article that they're basically blaming their parent company for the shutdown. Why won't these ladies step up and take responsibility for their failure? It's ok, we all make mistakes and part of adulting is owning up to them.

FallWeatherIsNice · 2023-11-10T12:58:14+00:00

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a W

Angryasfk · 2023-11-10T13:16:01+00:00

But where will “Big Red” be able to get her “information” to read out to we “f*ck faces” now????

Embarrassed_Curve769 · 2023-11-09T19:29:26+00:00

Unlike most perhaps, I am not happy about it. It's not as if the women who think that way will disappear from the planet. This is how leftists think - block speech and the idea itself is gone. I am not that naive, and I would rather have insight into the worst that women have to offer with it completely out in the open.

I just noticed the auther of that 'article' also wrote a much worse one.

The "dot" in the url is there because the automod was being an arse and removing it everytime. Just replace it with a "." instead.

She decided to get the illistrators to create pictures of Disney Princes.... naked, and then discuss their penises!

I wonder what she, and all her readers would say if a mans magazine had done the same with Disney princesses?

AllGearedUp · 2023-11-09T23:09:38+00:00

The fact anyone ever took the site serious is alarming. Then again half the united states believes in lizard people or some shit...

Ok-Corner-3729 · 2023-11-09T23:19:57+00:00

Great. Now let's not speak of it any more.

When miners were losing their jobs, the line was learn to code. Now that it's feminist journalists, I suppose the appropriate mockery would be learn to cook.
