xoJane is a website "where women go when they are being selfish, and where their selfishness is applauded." Which basically means it's a feminist version of Thought Catalog where women can tell their stories. And a lot of the time, they post deeply moving and highly informative articles from women with fascinating perspectives and life experiences.
Unfortunately, for every one of those articles, they post four or five ridiculous clickbait articles because websites don't pay for themselves and journalism is hard.
From this week alone:
"I don't have student loans because my wonderful parents and grandmother paid for all of my tuition and I lived at home. But one time my brother ate my muffin and it was just the worst!"
"I am revolutionary because I had short hair in high school and women with long hair don't have personalities, unlike me. I'm Not Like Other Girls!"
"I'm 17 years old and I think this movie is kind of racist, but that's not going to get enough pageviews on its own so let's make it about White Feminism somehow."
On any given day, you can count on at least one or two articles like these. So why not have a good lol over them together?
