When you investigate new jobs, the men interviewing you ask how old you are. In one interview, the HR staff warn you that at their company, you’d better be able to “take a joke.”

There's a drunk guy that's talking to a woman, blocking her only exit out, and making conversation about her looks. Yeah, I can see how that would scare a woman.

Creepy drunk dude blocks your way out of the building. It's late, meaning not many people around.

As a woman working in games since 2007, I’ve felt hurt, discouraged, and isolated by various forms of discrimination. Most of it came from people who were in no way intending to be hurtful. Anger does not accurately describe my true feelings, and so I don’t feel angry.

If I was a woman, I'd certainly be intimidated by a drunk man who starts making comments about how I look—especially if we're alone together. I'd certainly be terrified of what may happen.

I have to say, of all of the articles that have been posted on Kotaku in this similar vein, this has to be the most informative and well written. I think it is much more relatable in the sense that it is quite anecdotal but actually provides examples within the more corporate/business side of things (e.g. giving…

And our first dudebro comment!

i'm fine with "It didn't occur to us" too

oh wait that one isn't a quote, is it?

I love it, I am excited for the dudebro posts. Kotaku is excellent at trolling the knuckle-dragging segment of its readership and I hope they never stop.

I agree that 90% of the time it is just bullshit reason. Though I can hardly wait for all the rage comments from the dudebros. Your balls are bigger then mine Patricia.

Option 4: Kojima likes women in their underwear. There's certainly enough cheesecake found throughout the rest of the series.

I am baffled that I'm supposed to put Kojima's creative vision up against your uniformed opinion about something you have almost no data on ... and calmly submit to the ludicrous idea that you have a point?

First of all, I think it says something about your mindset that you view being vocal on an issue as 'being an internet tough guy'.

Probably because the history of male sexual objectification in our culture is in almost no way comparable to female sexual objectification.

Translation: nobody can talk about these things! Stop talking! You can't express your opinion! Hideo Kojima makes good games, so your objections are nullified!

I'm not sure either, I guess my ears are hipsters.

Hmmmm.... you might want to have a read up about how corn works. From what I understand I think it tends to expand vertically over time, provided certain conditions are met ie precipitation and some other hidden stats.

The corn near me has been getting taller lately. Is that normal?
