Inconsistency Strikes Secular Feminist Site Jezebel Again: Comic Characters, Marriage, and Sex Shaming
Every so often, I agree with some of the views at Jezebel (secular, left wing, feminist site), though I myself am right wing, still have pretty traditional values, and am pro-life. This is not one of those times I agree with them.
Apparently, secular, leftist feminists want comic book characters to marry… except when they do not want them to.
Can anyone make sense of this?

A Jezebel writer says,
- Conclusion: It’s probably not going to work out with Batman. It’s not going to work out with any other superheroes, either.
- Look, superheroes are terrific fun, but they are mostly sprung from the minds of men free to imagine and create characters who are above the law, above morality, above physics, and often suspended above the ground, looking down at us.
- These very traits make them great at saving people and making out while upside-down, they are not so great at saving themselves or hanging out when you get your period or need to go to the DMV. They are not even capable of being available for annual vacations…
- As a result, and thanks to their [super hero character] origin stories, they are also pretty much all emotionally damaged, tortured weirdos who would not make good partners over the long haul.
Oh. I see. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say I do NOT see. So, Jezebel’s previous article on this topic, saying that DC Comics should allow Bat Girl to marry her female partner, is now moot?
See this post (which is a post from my blog, commenting on a Jezebel story whose Jez writer was offended that DC Comics would not allow Bat Girl to get married):

I can’t track this. According to Jezebel writers, I’m supposed to root for a super hero, lesbian character to marry her partner, but I’m supposed to be opposed to hetero women wanting to marry a super hero such as Bat Man or Captain America?
In other Jezebel- holding- to- double- standards, or being-inconsistent- related news.
It looks to me as though a liberal writer at Jezebel criticized an editorial by a conservative woman by insulting that conservative woman’s sex life. I may be getting this wrong, because this is not a story I followed that closely.
Several bloggers picked up on this Jezebel hypocrisy, that a “no slut shaming site,” which claims to respect all women, that is opposed to “slut shaming”, was never- the- less producing an editorial saying one right wing woman’s views were terrible because, supposedly, her sex life must be lacking.
