Just out of curiosity, since I'm already married, how far do couples have to bend over backwards not to inconvenience their guests? Is it OK for a couple to get married where they live, even though they have no family nearby? Is it OK for a couple to get married over a holiday, even though it might disrupt a guest's…

When you write judgy, jerky posts, you get jerky replies. I replied to you assuming you were just trolling to make other women feel bad.

Uh, yes, primping does vary by race. Black women are under immense pressure to look more 'white', which involves time-consuming hair treatments and upkeep. If you really aren't familiar with this concept in 2014, Chris Rock's documentary Good Hair is actually not a bad primer.

Not everyone has the same life as you. When I was growing up, my mom routinely spent upwards of an hour getting ready for her office job. When I was a grad student, sure ten minutes was fine. A ponytail hiding the fact that I'd not showered in a couple days was OK. In my current office environment, that's really not…

So, if this is all true, and moneyed interests in reviews are the issue, why is Anita Sarkeesian not the hero of your movement? She independently raised the funds to support herself doing these reviews and buys her own copies of games for review. Isn't that the exact citizen critique you're asking for? But looking at…

Yeah. The real root of the issue is that a bunch of people who don't much like women have decided that video games are the whole of their identity. It's like, take a shower, take a walk and interact with someone who isn't in your WoW guild. People having different opinions about something you like isn't the end of the…

Not to mention that even if it were about ethids, gamergate has a pretty bizzaro definition of what ethics means. From a storify:

1) Just naming names to who? Who is this third party who will be intervening? As I said above, victim-blaming and shaming are pretty powerful forces to stay silent. I don't think it's mind blowing that women would choose not to become the objects of ridicule or lose all their friends on top of their trauma.

I can't tell if you're serious or not, so I'm going to break this down for you:

There's a lot of good evidence that a minority of people commit the majority of rapes, and that they seek out situations in which they have 'social license to operate'. An excellent summary is here:

Not to mention, the expectant parents might have pretty good reasons for putting some things on the registry and excluding others. We had to move for my work very shortly after the babies were born, and really couldn't handle MOAR STUFFZ and bulky fancy swings.

"They're both going off. Time for a beer."

Exactly. It's easy to intellectually realize you and your partner might not always be on the same page about something. It's easy to make plans to handle that. But when the combinatoric effect of, say, a lay off and a big medical bill hit, emotions can take over. It's one thing to know your partner is bad with money…

The issue isn't not knowing. The issue is the classic 'grass is always greener'. Permanence has a way of making people panic a little bit. Before I had my kids, I knew kids were a lot of work. But I've still had moments when they both start crying for a feeding or diaper change at once and I freeze in terror and…

Right, because trying to subjugate women isn't elitist at all.

Yep.

I'm not sure this link is relevant. The use of 'that' is dehumanizing and disgusting. Just like 'female' versus 'woman'.

'That' refers to objects, not people. Though I suspect that typo tells me everything I need to know about your politics.

Wait until these idiots find out about science. In most subfields, there aren't enough experts to eternally avoid reviewing the work of someone you know.

What I dont get is, how come they cant just complain about the journalism until they find an outlet that isnt biased.
