That's true! I've always thought it was unfair the onus is so much on men. That's probably where a lot of these issues stem from.

I fought those notions in my early 20s and just went ahead and pursued the guys I wanted to pursue, and you're right: we are pretty heavily socialized to think of guys as pursuers and women as the pursued. I had so little luck—even with the dudes who were interested in me!—because I was messing up the social order by…

It's both! Damn that swifty.

So is getting married, and wearing an expensive dress, and wearing makeup, and etc. etc. etc. to infinity.

Ferguson Protesters Attend Monday Night Football

Wasn't one of the insults hurled at the protesters outside Busch Stadium "Get a job!"? Fuck, to get inside an NFL stadium to put up that large sign those people must have some good work!

Fuck that.

...that and the chorus. Honestly, the ONLY part of the song that I can ever get into is the chorus, I zone out through the rest of it.

I've gamed since we were in floppy disks, and I've never attempted to engage the online gaming community for those exact reasons: it's either 14-year olds screaming the new racial slurs they just learned, or their adult analogues. I content myself with making them explode in World of Tanks.

Ugh. I love games as a medium. I've played them since I was young. But goddamn do I hate the community. Sure, I've met some shitheads in various communities, but gamers seem to be actively shitheaded in a way that just gets exhausting. I can deal with stubborn annoying cinephiles, but gamers? The majority of vocal…

I think I met you at the GDC Women's SIG a couple of years ago and remember hearing about your studies. I am really sorry your work is getting pulled into this mess. It's so baffling to me- I'm a female AAA game dev and have been thankfully insulated from this junk, the guys I know and work with that have in some…

TRUTH. 'Fancy' would have been buried alive in a 'Get Lucky'/'Blurred Lines' kind of summer.

the only thing that annoys me about these nominations is that bey didn't get a nom for female pop artist but did get nominated for r&b/soul. She is a pop artist but award shows put her in the r&b category because she's black and that's some racist bullshit.

What's ridiculous is that gaming journalism has needed reform from fucking day one. I can't remember how long ago it was that Ubisoft stopped letting EGM have its games early because of a bad Assassin's Creed review.

wait... you're like an actual fan of her music/lyrics? lol. i mean i'm not a huge rap fan but.... lol.

Uh. I think you are kind of missing the point. People dont hate her because shes gimmicky. People hate her because shes racist as fuck.

Oh god if she actually did a Reddit ask me anything, I'd actually sign up for a Reddit account and unleash the hounds of war on that message board.

Iggy is benefiting immensely from a summer with no other big smash hits. Fancy is a B list song that got big because it had no competition.

"I hope you get Ebola. I hope you die. You are a fucking cunt!"

As a fellow Australian the only thing I have to say is that we do not necessarily consider this much of an insult.

NFL doesn't directly make money off fantasy football (unless you're playing through NFL.com) so don't feel bad.
