Quote:

You know feminist writer Lindy West from her humorous but substantive takes on topics like pop culture, social justice, rape culture, and body image. This week she announced on Twitter that this would be her last week at Jezebel where she’s been a staff writer for the past two years, and that she’ll be going freelance and working more on personal projects. One of those projects is “I Believe You It’s Not Your Fault: Notes From Your Big Sibling” (IBYINYF).

Could this be because of the new leadership at the site? The vice interview didn't discuss the topic, but the story also noted that Lindy is set to become the stepmother to two girls, ages 10 and 12.

Whatever her reasons for leaving Jezebel, she will make a terrible parent. First, she's exposing the girls to unhealthy eating habits as well as constant feminist propaganda that will turn the girls into fat sluts. Second, she is likely to become ornery when her supply of novelty-flavored oreos is low, and therefore unable to exercise patience, which could lead to possible physical abuse.



This picture is the one that Lindy submitted herself. It's also full of tricks to make her less hideous. First, she's basking in a beam of light as if she were some kind of saint. Second, she's covered her face in a metric ton of makeup. Third, she's cropped out the majority of her enormous torso. For someone who's written so much about body positivity, she sure does care a lot about her image.

Lindy West's new project involves testing eating utensils on jars of Nutella.

She's clearly ashamed of her own body, which she should be.

To borrow from John McCain, she "plasters on the makeup like a trollop" yet no amount of makeup in the world can turn a whale into a princess. She looks like a younger Mimi from The Drew Carey Show.

But why is her spoon hanging on the wall next to her?

Translation: she has been defeated. It would be like me quitting my blog and saying I'm going to focus on Twitter. No matter how they try to sugarcoat it, she quit a site which has given her the biggest possible bullhorn she can have. Unless she's going to the NY Times or anchoring the nightly news, her voice will now get much more quiet.

This is great news for men, and America.

She's already hurting for money:



I guess she didn't get the memo from Anita Sarkeesian that she's supposed to threaten herself first before begging.

[runsonmagic]

Guys, you missed the biggest kicker.

She's moving on to mommy blogging.



Complete with wearing makeup to attract a nice man to take care of her kids.

[Avon Barksdale]

^^^^^

[Rollo Tomassi]

On the bright side, she is qualified to write gore-porn movie reviews now.

I hear Kotaku is hiring too.

[germanico]

We sure give a lot of attention to Lindy West around here...

Freelancing? I would be willing to chip in a few dollars if someone (paging Tuth) can find a way to troll her into taking some job that embarrases herself.

[kinjutsu]

Did she get bigger?...

[Roosh]

But wait, there's more...

Another Jezebel is leaving for Vice. Yes, that Vice.



I remember when Vice used to be edgy and non politically correct. Now they are hiring spinster feminists.

I've seen this across tech media too. The Verge and Ars Technica used to focus on tech exclusively but have now turned into SJWs too, actaully TV's SJW coverage has displaced much of their tech coverage.

They're turning into Gawker so they can get more clicks.

It’s already happening. Now that the manosphere is being recognized as a serious, powerful force, “red pill woman” blogs are popping up like herpes sores on a born-again virgin’s bikini area. Women are herd creatures at heart: they will always follow so long as men lead. And as much as we’d love to try all the feminist collaborators at a metaphorical Nuremberg, there are more than enough thirsty saps who will eagerly lick the clit of any woman who claims to have seen the light, no matter how openly self-serving her motives. Add in the coming left singularity and feminists are really screwed.

Lindy West has already shown that she’s willing to concede anti-feminist talking points. What makes you think she’ll hold out when the stakes are higher?

So I wouldn’t put too much faith in the younger generation of feminists. Oh sure, they may be bitching about “fatphobia” and “rape culture” today, but their convictions are barely skin-deep. In ten years, you’ll be browsing the Internet one day when a friend sends you a link to an article titled “Rediscovering Your Inner Housewife” or “The Joys of Letting Him Take the Lead.” You’ll click it open for a brief chuckle and stop cold when you spot the byline:

“By Lindy West.”

She embarrasses herself every time she opens her mouth to talk or shove a oreo in it.

Jezebels heart felt reaction to her leaving:

There should be one ongoing thread her, simply named "Whale Watch: Lindy West Edition."

If she was GPS chipped it would just be watching her going to the kitchen, going to the bathroom and going to Home Depot to buy a replacement toilet each time she breaks it.

[Quintus Curtius]

The shelf-life of a mediocre party-line hack like West is never going to be longer than 5 years.

They last while they last. Having nothing interesting or original to say, and nothing to offer except a repetition of the same hackneyed slogans, they are cheerfully rotated out by their masters, who are always looking for fresher, newer flunkies to mold.

She's old, used-up, and has nothing to show for all her screeching. They'll let her go to pasture, and there she can write melancholy homilies about the virtues of raising her surrogate brood.

I hope it was worth it, Lindy.

[Billy Chubbs]

I wonder if this has anything to do with that open letter they wrote about having to deal with all the Gore images. I wouldn't be surprised if they fired Lindy and a few others to make examples, giving these gals the ego option to say they're 'leaving'. As people on the forum have said before, Jezebel writers are so bland and interchangeable their whole staff could be wiped out and there would be no noticeable change to it's style.

If that's the case Lindy might not be getting on at Slate or other sites, since she's a rabble-rouser. We'll just have to wait and see.

And yeah, Vice's writers are a SJW assembly line spewing out crap, but they still put out some decent documentaries. Wonder how long it'll take them to fuck that only decent part of their brand up.

[CRR]

Again, I have Lindy to thank for finding this place. If not for her rant about not fitting into an airplane seat, I wouldn't have googled her name and come across the article about her on the ROK main site and laughed so hard I cried. I was then opened to a whole new world of like minded individuals that I didn't know existed.

If not for her, I wouldn't have known that there were so many other people who hated fat acceptance and the general feminization of our culture.

As a liberal, I just wish her and her kind would leave my party. They could form their own party, which would be easy, because there is a perfect name for them already out there:

The Bull-Moose Party.

What do you suppose the odds were it was Emma Charmichael who dropped the axe on Lindy and Tracie?
