Counter-argument: do photograph yourself nude, if you so please.

Stop trying to police women’s choices, their bodies, and their sexualities. No one deserves this. It is literally a fucking crime. But here you are blaming the victim. Shame on you.

I hate to point this out to you, but you are missing the required “Not to blame the victim, but...” that you need before you are allowed to blame the victim.

I love you anyway.

Anne Frank’s Diary of a Young Grill

For most tennis players, the first fault isn’t usually a problem. Now, if this reopened investigation also concludes that Williams caused the accident, that would be a double fault, and the advantage in the case goes to her opponent.

The headline makes this sound a lot more ominous than it was.

I know this wasn’t your intention but I would love nothing more than to be described as a “nasty banshee” by some folks

This might be an unpopular opinion, but stereotypes are often based on a grain of truth. There are a lot of black people where, if you poison their children, they won’t think it’s fair to tell them they have to pay for the poison. Oh wait, not just black people, people in general are like that. Well, whatever.

To add a really petty complaint, their site has straight gone downhill- you used to be able to search for a series of sizes (like s/4/6 instead of just one at a time) and they’ve gotten REALLY lazy about taking down items that are out of stock, which is pretty much everything I’ve clicked on recently. And the things…

All right, it’s clear you’re still missing the subtlety of this particular conversation. How about you make a separate complaint about the content, and some of us can keep discussing the dismissal of a woman’s understanding of her own article topic.

I clicked on this article, did not read it, and immediately headed to the comments for this very reason.

“We need more women, just because” is the kind of straw man that lazy thinkers use when they want to convince people that they don’t have to do any intellectual work. It’s not “just because”, and it never has been. Women buy and play video games, and are participating significantly in the economic market for video…

No one is saying “don’t look at their experience”.

God help us that we’ve come to this ... ...

It’s amazing, right?

Not to mention about a topic that only directly affects women.

Chuck Berry helped invent me as well. My parents met at one of his concerts 40 some years ago, so I probably wouldn’t have existed without him.

Yes let’s worry more about that, and less about calling out bullshit behavior. Let’s let the whiny, petulant, baby men have their way, because we don’t want to upset them! (fyi, giving in to temper tantrums doesn’t work with children or animals either. that’s....not how any of this works)
