Not sure I did that. And if I did/do grant an allowance that a small portion of that internet media entity is valuable, it's for (some of) the Jezebel articles of their own value, and even in the objectively ****** Jez articles, women (dozens? hundreds? billions?) can share and commiserate. If that's all it takes to argue something is a "shining jewel" than God hates the internet. There are huge sites dedicated to skepticism, World of Warcraft, science, personal photographs, cooking, etc. But gee, being thankful there's a tiny subsection about women issues of one site is seen as me being some kind of wild-eyed fanatic.
Gawker is no jewel in general and go-go Hulkster, but it still has partial, perhaps irreplaceable value currently. Not all the ****** random Salon and Slate comments sections and their awful commenting structure can change that tiny little internet (imo) fact.
If a new heavily trafficked-site "women commiserate. com" opened tomorrow I'd enjoy Gawker's continuing crash and burn. But neither of us are women so, like whatever, right? Not a big deal apparently. You misogynist Devil!!! >:0
