Here's the thing, I don't care if the worst elements of #gamergate are the vocal minority and this really is just a horribly misguided and inept campaign against journalistic ethics. The insane terroristic harassment that has historically ensued whenever a woman in tech/gaming/programming starts building an audience…

I explained their mindset to you. Based on multiple interactions with the pro gamergate crowd.

Tl;dr version: They aren't.

But you are so pluralistic by freaking out and throwing a hissy fit to shut up feminists before they have the chance to talk? Despite your paranoid ranting, feminism is not about destroying men and establishing a terrifying gynocracy. It's about allowing women's voices to be heard in places where they are ignored. The…

You forgot

Show me a feminist advocating forced castration that isn't ostracized and treated like a deranged nutjob by the mainstream feminist community. Even the most absurd RadFem nonsense doesn't go that far...

So walk me through how Anita Sarkeesian's videos, for example, don't demonstrate that there are widespread, albeit often unintentional, misogynistic tropes that appear again and again in many video games. Please don't respond with small little nitpicks (like the one game where she didn't have to kill the hookers but…

Ah yes, women: too busy to play video games because they are always at brunch or yoga. And you are the one that is the victim of stereotyping?

Agreed. Getting an abortion doesn't have to be a big deal and there are many women for whom that is the case. At the same time, for many women it is a difficult emotional decision (especially given the fact that at the time you are pregnant your body is literally messing with your mind to make you ready and excited…

Where was God or religion even mentioned in the letter? She was clearly referring to the hypothetical baby she will have in the future, not the bag of cells she might encounter in some afterlife.

The crazy competitiveness is actually usually at the lower ranked schools where being able to get a job depends way more on your class rank. At the top ranked schools most (still not all) people can get a Big Law job if they are marginally socially competent and have decent grades so people tend to be a little more…

That said, Legally Blonde, is otherwise WAY MORE accurate about law school than this mess. Like even the part about Elle Woods getting into Harvard. She had a 178 on her LSAT and a 4.0 (no one gives a shit that it was in fashion merchandising) from what appeared to be a riff on UCLA. With those credentials the only…

You already proved you are a citizen of the state when you registered to vote. The only thing a Voter ID law could stop is someone pretending to be someone else and voting in their name, which is already a felony both federally and in every state. I think someone willing to commit a felony in order to fraudulently…

Time and time again we see overwhelming evidence that female viewers make up a disproportionately large percentage of the moviegoing population (relative to the 50/50 split in the general population), yet the major studios still can't get it. They and those with the financing are still convinced that the only way a…

It's business class. So nicer than any domestic first class seat, but not as fancy as the first class seats at the front of the plane. Basically business class gets you a seat that reclines fully flat (although some face backwards), a big TV, better free booze, a multicourse meal (that although edible isn't usually…

I kind of think the ending is the best part. Garbage people get the garbage ending they deserve. It remains utterly cynical and misanthropic until the very end.

Yeah, have to agree with Kim Jong's Angst here. The unlikeable characters are kind of the whole point of the book. I hate this obsession we have as a culture with needing "likeable" characters in our movies/fiction (TV seems to do just fine w/ unlikeable characters).

I get the idea and need for a tailor for gay women and transgender people, but I feel as though gay men are pretty well served by existing fashion and tailoring services. What about Bindle and Keep is specific to them? Or am I just being dense.

I don't understand why people can't just put socks on. It's not that hard and they don't take up very much space in your carry-on.

Yes, because Breitbart is a super reliable source of information...
