It's not minor- pregnancy puts a lot of strain on your body, and it's important that women are able to recuperate before putting themselves under that strain so closely over and over again, to avoid negative health outcomes down the line.
This isn’t about wearing short skirts or something, this is doctors giving medical advice about women allowing their bodies to recover.
They were all really lucky.
- Seems it did raise red flags which was why she was investigating his facebook page. It’s not impossible she suspected something before but didn’t have the evidence she needed. She may have even talked her self (perhaps with his assistance) into thinking she was being paranoid or overly jealous.
They were disrupting panels. They derailed The Mary Sue’s panel, with unwarranted questions and a staggering amount of obsolescence. In addition, they entered the Con under false pretenses, pretending to represent some internet property while instead representing incredibly dim witted opinions. So, two grounds for…
Perfect summary.
Young people of the world: avoid associating with people who constantly shift goalposts, people who constantly go out of their way to drill new holes into recently fixed dams, and people who constantly view the world in observably & militantly binary terms (projecting a “you’re either 100% with us or…
If GamerGate were actually about ethics in journalism, they would not be actively trying to destroy Kotaku — a site that refuses press junkets, regularly pisses off game publishers through aggressive journalism, and is just about as transparent as any gaming site can be — they’d be going after Metacritic and exclusive…
Funny you should mention the ol’ floorshitter...
Dude, “Don’t push feminism” basically means “Don’t talk about anything that says that women have a bum rap.” Back in the 50s, lots of people down south didn’t have a problem with black folk.....so long as they ate at their own lunch counters. Saying “hey, maybe we deserve to eat with y’all” was “pushing an agenda.”…
Today I learned that being a feminist was unethical...
They weren’t asked to leave because they have different views. They were asked to leave for disrupting discussion panels.
While panelists can choose to not answer a question, the problem here is (as the GGers even admitted) their goal wasn’t to have a back and forth with the panel, but rather to disrupt it with a line of derailing questions. So choosing to not answer questions would’ve been used as fuel against the panel just as much as…
Why wouldn’t there be? There are always members of oppressed minorities who side with their oppressors. Black and gay republicans, for example.
It’s funny how GG is trying to spin it as “different political opinions are banned!” or “Leftists kick girl gamers out! Misogyny!”
You don’t have to be mad at people to recognize they are not deserving of the benefits the internet offers them.
You answered the question yourself. It’s the violation of bodily integrity that makes the difference here, imo.
Simple advice to number 1 — let her say no — don’t do it for her. Show her what you have to offer (get your heads out of NSFW here) and if it is, it is, if it’s not move on.
