The Fish Without Bicycles club there was so much fun and great cardio!

Yes, that is where I worked. I worked in the Gloria Steinem counseling and liberation center.

Kalaf's article did more than just make a timeline of Verlander's whereabouts to corroborate that the images are genuine, it linked to the images themselves. He could have at least linked to heavily censored copies of the images but that's not the case.

Because "not all men". And an example of privilege, ie, in this instance, defensiveness first rather than empathy and understanding.

aka "not all men", and "i'm feeling so attacked right now."

Yeah, you must be a real victim of oppression when your biggest experience with bigotry is someone saying something not directed at you in an internet comments section.

Straight white American men view "rights" as a series of passes for them to do what they please to anyone else that isn't a straight white American man.

And see, this is where it is getting derailing. There are anonymous harassers in a post complaining that he doesn't acknowledge harassment. I am a complete believer that Sarkeesian is being threatened. I am a female gamer and when I was really active, I had rape and death threats said to me on the regular. And…

Can I say something that might be helpful? I don't personally agree with Grandad's position here at all. I think it's really highly likely that she has been repeatedly threatened to the point of being driven out. But I will say a second thing, there are at least two burners who are just probably regular commenters,…
