Ah, gotcha, thanks.

Honestly confused here - are you saying transphobia is only a white issue...?

What’s the statistic - 53% of white woman voted for Trump? Many of those and other Trump voters aren’t okay with sexual assault, unless it’s talk on a celebrity tape downplayed by Fox News. That’s a terrible cognitive dissonance which hurts all women, but it’s often born of living in isolated communities where they…

If he can totally avoid talking about politics and there aren’t any other red flags in the way he behaves towards woman,

I disagree with probably most people here; cutting off the ignorant from the rational world isn’t the greatest way to cure their ignorance. If he can totally avoid talking about politics and there aren’t any other red flags in the way he behaves towards woman, I’d say it comes down to how much it bothers you. Keep in…

Try to get as much of it in writing as you can. Do you know why this stuff is happening? If you pissed someone off unintentionally, you could possibly find them and apologize. If you know who’s angry at you or who could stand to win by blaming you, you could start getting ahead of them.

I don’t think the meals are worth the price, in terms of taste and the amount of time spent cooking - you may not have to plan, but you’re cooking a different meal each night when you could be making one meal with plenty of leftovers. But it can be worth it if you put a lot of value in learning new techniques,…

Engaging shows people that you won’t stand up for sexism or racism or whatever, and it makes most members of certain groups feel welcome even if there’s shouting involved. Even if a flame war starts, if there’s enough people on one side of the flame war, we’re going to see less people being assholes in that particular…

I’m wondering if it’s really aimed at parents who want to hear how they can still pressure their young daughters into “taking back” their abortions.

Eh, it can make sense if you live a long distance from the mall and have some shared chores to take care of in the area. Then it becomes a decision about how much waiting is worth a carpool or if shopping deserves a separate trip.

As far as I can tell, it’s a thing with men/teenagers who are never in relationships. They want to be with a woman who plays video games, but no one wants to be with them, so they’d just prefer to think that the thing they want doesn’t exist. At least, that’s how the sexist gamers I’ve met IRL seem to think.

Most people would agree they’re particularly nasty, though. I think Cecilia is right about the reason; they hurt more because they’re linked to certain kinds of people having a tougher time in real life. Like, I work in a field that’s 80% male, and have had guys question my skills because of sexism; for me, that’s why…

Not just the greys. :/

But why are gendered insults particularly nasty? If everything is pretty equal, then they shouldn’t hurt worse than anything else.

Being in a shouting match with someone else beside you is waaaaay better than enduring a more quiet asshole on your own. It really does help a lot. Plus, I do think it matters in the long run. There’s this idea in the culture that participating in flame wars is proof that you’re tough, and getting insulted is…

It’s not “just because you have a pair of balls,” and she doesn’t insult men. She specifically says people who tolerate harassment instead of doing something about it. Many men are actually helpful, and there are certainly women (not girls) who hide their gender and don’t speak up either.

I don’t totally agree with the article, but yeah, the comments are mostly horrible. I really wish this was one of those with a separate version posted to The Root.

There’s some stuff by Anawiki games, but it’s not far off from Fantasy Mosaics.

Not in a way that is normally considered sexy, though. That’s one reason I liked his art for Odin’s Sphere a lot more, there were bare abs to complement all the bouncing boobs.

“Paint it Back” is my favorite Steam picross game.
