The "Not Rape" titty shot is classy and does not scream "I am desperate for attention" at all.

I guess it depends upon your fondness for the derp of babymen.

When one attempts to discuss anything gender related on Kotaku, the commenting section instantaneously turns into a mess of horrible atrocities.

The "rape culture" is about making it a complacent act. "She wanted it", "she asked for it", "yes means no", etc are used as defenses. This is why people are upset when they see moments like the touching in GTA V in the strip club because it falls into the "she wanted it/didn't say no, so I continued to touch her"…

wow, ignorance is pretty astounding . Anyone that uses political correctness, usually are just a misogynist, racist or numpty. Even if there wasnt a straight one, it makes no sense your analogy in the context of this game. Criminals can be men and women. That is reality.

Exactly what is your point with the whole "no straight men in the cosmetology industry" argument? It doesn't change the fact that women are seen as inferior to men socially. When a straight man takes a job traditionally held by women, he is treated as though he is disgracing himself by taking a position of someone who…

I am with you on that, but the whole idea of "rape culture" is that you are supposed to restrain yourself. You should not have other people telling you what is right and wrong, and other should not have to interrupt your behavior. That is what the OP is getting at.

People who think "political correctness" is a scary thing = "Waaaaaah! I can't be sexist or racist without people calling me on it!"

New favorite commenter! Yes, absolutely. I tried to use the Molly Ivins quote myself, but the Anatole France quote is so rich too. Thank you for being awesome.

I think you make a totally valid point, but I still disagree. While the protagonists of GTA games are rarely if ever heroes, they still manage to operate as a) the ego ideal for the fantasies of the spectator and b) characters with moral compasses. Niko of GTAIV is not a mindless killing machine, despite the gaming…

Fuck yeah your post. Every word.

Well I googled it and the first thing to come up was a tweet about a straight male beautician. Wasn't difficult.

"Why are there no straight men in the cosmetology industry?"

I see "but we make fun of everyone!" tossed around a lot as an excuse, but that ignores the broader social context in which the parody is being presented.

There's an old Anatole France quote that's relevant:
"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and…

this is a joke right? plz put on the /sarcasm cause im not sure if serious.

Man the real problem with the lapdance thing is that you're explicitly breaking the rules and putting hands on a woman who can't or won't resist explicitly for the purpose of winning them as a sex partner. It's rapey as shit, and that the mechanics are basically rewarding you for this it reinforces a lot of creepy…

Right, but making sweeping declarations about obesity that are blatantly untrue are alright? A size 14 is not obese; nor is it necessarily unheathly. A size 00 is not necessarily healthy. So let's stop with the ridiculous body-snarking.

Veiled women are making a statement. They are saying they don't mind being subordinate to men. They don't mind being told how to live by sexually depraved men (or men with depraved views of sex). They don't mind corporal punishment. They may not even mind rape as a punishment rather than a crime. Just saying. …

Nah. Sorry. I will never support them when reading stories like girl's schools being burned down and the fact they weren't wearing the veil is why men stopped fire fighters from helping the girls.

If a woman has the right to choose to wear it, it is not oppression.
