You jumped into the middle of a fight that's probably bleeding over from a subblog. Just letting you know; the really disproportionate vitriol is mostly unrelated to what he's actually saying.

I once tried screwing a guy with a giant dick and he didn't fit. It seriously hurt and I had to tell him to stop. Average sized peens for me!

Maybe if so many self-identified "gamers" stopped being "misogynistic asshats," they wouldn't keep being described as such.

You mean like how Kotaku is accused of having one of their authors review a game after Zoe Quinn slept with them? Except that said review never happened?

If GamerGate supporters who aren't insane misogynist psychos want to continue on their quest to discuss and question gaming press, game devs, and game publishers' complex relationship... then go start a new title and a new hashtag.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been to Chicago, so perhaps they've made some improvements to the cars on the El; but how did you get through those doors with a chip on your shoulder the size of a goddamned Escalade?

Please do more of that.

I would think there would be at least a hundred alternative routes to continuing the species (you romantic devil, you), other than pestering someone who's stuck in a metal tube along with dozen of other strangers, just trying to get from point A to point B. How limited are you?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that sounds GREAT to me. Do that, please.

well, let's deal with the rampant public harassment first, and get to the 'feminist breathing for men' tutorials later on

What an interesting discussion, just now topping 500 replies. Multiple lines of thinking, including "why can't you just accept my intrusion?" and "this is how you avoid intrusions."

This is such bullshit. Ladies, you go out of your way to be rude to guys just interested in sparking a conversation. And, worse than that, you live under the delusion that it happens only to ladies. This is the furthest thing from the truth. It happens to guys too, and it happens more often than you can imagine. And…

The overwhelming majority of women are not looking for a relationship or a hookup as they go to/from work. They want to be left alone. Why is this concept so hard for some men?

Even if he has, so what? I always thought the point was finding one person you wanted to go out with 500 times, not 500 people who will go out with you once each.

I'm also a fan of Making A Scene which, in England at least, makes most pick-up pricks lumber off into the horizon. I'm really quite shy, but if someone won't stop harrassing me, I'll force myself to say in a a voice penetrating enough to make dogs put their paws over their ears, "YOU ARE MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE."…

I hate that it's one of the most effective ways to make a dude leave you alone - it's basically like saying "sorry, I'm some other dude's property."

I grew up with and continue to use the MBTA. When I was about 17, I had a discussion with my mom and her friend about some subway creepers I had encountered that day. My mom' s friend, RIP MJR, gave me some great advice. She said, "There are two kinds of looks you can give a man, the fuck you look and the fuck me…

Pretend you only speak German. The Asian woman who only speaks German (or Welsh, whatever) will throw them too far off their game to continue.

I'm a fan of the "Oh, sorry, I'm actually really sick and don't want to give it to you" as an excuse to back away. If they persist, you can always cough in their face and freak them out.

If he doesn't respect your desire to be left alone, he is not really Nice, anyway.
