Jezebel had one story about Rotherham.
But the Jennifer Lawrence story? Jackpot.
Durant took the same look at Slate.com.

Slate stories on Rotherham? One.

So progressives are virtually ignoring large scale injustice because of capitalism? That’s priceless.
@johndurant you would think feminists would be the last people to obsess over celebrity gossip, but they spend more time than most guys.

@johndurant "Feminists" can't talk about #Rotherham (or ISIS) because a real war on women would distract from their fake one. @razibkhan
