I'm confused - shouldn't you guys be thrilled that feminism is so popular that even the Fox News PolitiChicks are championing it? They're taking on the Feminist label, they're saying they don't want to go back to the '50s... This is exactly what you guys have been pushing for, with your endless cheers of "feminism…

I'm the type of person who follows traffic laws while playing games like GTA, so I sort of know what you mean, haha.

Some of it is just flame but there is a part of this that is in reaction to a poorly thought out argument. I say this because violence of all sorts is used as a backdrop. This isn't a flaw of games so much as one of story telling, we don't have time to live with these characters and get to know them. We don't have…

I don't think you can discount the contribution bad writing has to this. A lot of stuff is just because game writers aren't paid as much, don't get as famous, and so, obviously, just aren't as good.

Sarkeesian makes pretty good points. Writers and directors should do better than what they've been doing. However, I'm reluctant to say that violence against any single group of people should be removed from creative work since that has the potential to shut down a vein of narrative. I mean sure, "imagine better…

Couldn't agree more. The judge is in no way blaming women, like you said, she's merely describing the reality of a juror's task. There are standards of evidence and those are hard to meet when the only evidence provided is testimony by someone who was too impaired to be credible.

Some people are still trying to decide if Jez wants discussion or an echo chamber. It seems to be leaning towards the latter, and in that case it should probably stop calling itself a feminist website.

Yeah. We don't solve problems by just yelling at everyone who speaks out about the reality of those problems.

Maybe do a better job of using evidence in the case to prove the rapist is guilty? Just a thought.

Yep. I think there are 3 simple rules people who genuinely give a damn about courtesy on public transportation can agree on:

What a completely beside the point observation. Men are obviously rude assholes but if a woman does the exact same thing she should be given the benefit of the doubt because she was *probably* touched at some point and thus for the rest of her life gets two subway seats to herself.

It's true. It's rare to find a space that isn't overtaken by ads too.

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…

Just because something is not a 100% solution does not mean that it should not be implemented if it can help drastically reduce the problem.

The moment a corporation pays you a wage, no matter how low, the rest of them bite and scratch and claw to get it back.

I'm on your side in principle, but your premise is faulty. It's not ethically consistent to allow everyone to do ANYTHING they want with their bodies. I don't think it's okay for me, a man, to stand by a primary school with my junk out.

OF COURSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE A FUCKING DIAPER IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESTAURANT.
