Optional only for a few??? You do realise that the muslim populations in India, Nigeria and Indonesia as well as other countries dwarf that of middle eastern nations. Only about 20% of muslims are Arab. China has the same number if msulims as Saudi Arabia. Just because the IranI government or the Saud family or…

There was an interesting two parter Fresh Air with Terry Gross about vocal fry and policing how women sound. Before the segment, Terry talked about when she started, critics complained that women sounded terrible on radio and then audio engineers realized that professional microphones at the time were designed for a…

Hey I don’t know if you knew this but there isn’t like someone in every bar holding a gun to men’s heads and making them buy drinks for women.

That is a crazy coincidence, my longest-lived childhood kitty was also named Hannibal! What inspired it for your gorgeous fur-friend? Ours was so named because his tireless attempts to scale the sides of the bathtub were reminiscent of the Carthaginian’s crossing of the Alps. Sadly my Hannibal had no elephants but he…

1st amendment definitions clearly state that no one has the right to not be offended, so that’s out as well.

What world do you live in? Where I’m from it is illegal to punch people in the face, regardless of sex.

Yeah, if women want to not get threatened they should just stop using the Internet. If you don’t want to get mugged or raped you should just not leave your house. Wow, like, it’s not even that hard!

So quick to jump on that band wagon you can’t even get the party line right. It was Brianna Wu who was accused of that. Not Anita. Anita doesn’t even make games. Jesus even gamer gate supporters don’t have a minimum iq entrance exam.

Anecdotal: I’m a lady, and when I started here I had an obviously female account name. I was asking a lot of stupid technical questions- I wanted to anonymously ask stupid technical questions, that is why I set up a kinja account on the first place.
