This is a blog, it is chock-full of silly bullshit which may or may not be to your taste and if you spent any longer than a day on this place that should be incredibly apparent. It has always been this way, it will continue to be this way barring any Hulkamania-related outages. If you want serious business, go to…

I think the WoW nomination is well placed. Everquest and Ultima are fantastic, and were groundbreaking. And obviously set the stage for WoW to become a thing, but neither had the cultural impact or popularity that World of Warcraft has had.

“There are no Russian soldiers in Crimea.”

LOL @ anyone who would believe a word the Russians say.

The solution if one disagrees with her is not to bring a Title IX claim. That’s what this article is about, by the way. Not whether or not she’s a good feminist.

Sorry, but that’s bullshit. You can’t define an entire generation of feminists; they are all entitled to have their own individual opinions, thank you.

I am not going to say she’s not a feminist, but she’s certainly not the same kind of feminist that we tend to like here on Jezebel.

Yeah, the essay is some stupid, out-of-touch shit, but unless the students have evidence that isn’t being presented here regarding its violation of Title IX, the most the essay is worth is an eyeroll.

Assuming for a second that everything you said is true — the idea that expressing a viewpoint that you don’t like constitutes “retaliation” is repellent and disgraceful.

Well, the correct response to a professor’s essay that you disagree with is to write your own counter viewpoint. It’s called dialogue. You’re supposed to use your words, not take her to academic court to force the university to sanction her for expressing her own views.

“That we tend to like here” wow that was creepy

I don’t agree with Kipnis on a lot of things, but her original piece raised a lot of legitimate issues with the current direction of the feminist movement, especially on campuses.

That's not an accurate or fair depiction of her piece.

Jesus, such a dumb ass thing to do. I just don’t see any reason to make a Title IX complaint just because Kipnis wrote a hilariously bone-headed essay. (Yes, Kipnis, schools are cracking down on such relationships and it’s a good thing.)

This woman who works at blizzard is winning at life. I envy her.

To be fair they are ten years apart. Also, Fields played a younger mother through most of that movie to the young Forrest. When he was older they aged her considerably. So....

You're the person that shows up when they say, "Should've sent a poet," aren't you? *sheds single tear of joy*

When I got hurt last year and I was home bound, I had the girl who came in each morning make me scrambled eggs and bacon. For two months. Sigh.

Well, the source article at HTG addresses this puzzlement directly. Here's a quote from it:
