Double X Irritates Jezebel M.E. Less Than She Expected: "A Little Exhausted and A Lot Amused"
Slate’s new online women’s magazine Double X launched yesterday and one of the site’s first articles was a direct attack on Gawker Media’s women’s issues blog Jezebel. Double X’s debut front page included a scathing piece by writer Linda Hirshman entitled “The Trouble With Jezebel.”
Hirshman’s post is largely based on a much discussed incident from June, 2008 when Jezebel editor Tracie Egan and former editor Moe Tkacik appeared at a “Thinking and Drinking” panel hosted by Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead where they made a series of controversial, seemingly cavalier statements about rape and casual sex.
