No, not at all. Dr. Nerdlove has a column on Kotaku and I’m sure he has advice on his website. But it’s probably along the lines of “treat women like people,” whereas these guys are jerks.

I’m not advocating for ignoring reparations, but pointing out that celebrating redemption should not be put above the needs of the previous victims. Yeah, people should forgiven when it’s merited, but forgiveness shouldn’t become a new excuse to sweep things under the rug either.

I don’t think punishment is the point - the idea is likely to make game development less hostile to women. When the community is still rewarding people who have pushed certain groups out of the field... Well, that’s pretty disheartening if you’re in one of those groups and want to be a game developer.

Good.

What I am hearing is the women need to start infiltrating and rating the male streams.

What’s the proper way to refer to the emergency alert, to express that it’s in Hawaii? Hawaii resident instead of Hawaiian makes sense to me, but what do you do for inanimate objects? I looked it up and didn’t see anything.

“Hawaiian” is probably being applied to “emergency alert,” not “operator.”

Similar thing happened to me; I totally froze, just in disbelief that it was happening. I snapped out of it when he pushed too far (said I had to go do laundry, it was not smooth), and sometimes I wonder how much longer it would’ve gone on if I hadn’t.

Exactly. She said that she moved her hand away from his penis multiple times, and he kept trying to put it back. I don’t know if people skimmed that part or think it’s okay, but either way, the response is depressing.

I’m curious how these stats correlate to age of first marriage/first childbirth. My experience in a rural area was that a lot of women got married and started having kids right after high school (or even during). I’d think people would be more likely to settle down early in places with less options, in terms of…

If you compare the comments between places like The Slot and Splinter, I’d say men are largely responsible for that difference (plus my experience IRL has been mostly hearing it from men).

There’s a couple reasons for that. One is that there’s a lot of things in common regardless of how serious the sexual misconduct it. CK didn’t hire literal spies like Weinstein, but he put career pressure on his victims and his reputation did a lot to protect him. He’s another man who seemed untouchable, who women had…

Al Franken’s behavior fall under the realm of sexual misconduct. It’s an appropriate term, and it makes sense for them to get grouped under that term together when talking about the current culture. I haven’t heard anyone say rape and butt grabbing are the same thing, but there’s a lot of people getting upset when…

It was. Damon could’ve called it out, but the article should be shitting on the interviewer instead for that specific part.

I’ve been in a similar position before, and I’m glad I gave the guy another chance. If he’s not asking for any kind of commitment, then don’t worry so much about leading him on - dates are meant for getting to know each other without a lot of pressure. Maybe the attraction’s not there, but maybe you’re overthinking it…

You’re not wrong about her level of tact, but I’m uncomfortable giving lectures on tone without knowing more of the history. If she was just trying to educate others on trans people than yeah, not a great job, but the way everything went down makes me inclined to wonder if the officer has experienced sexism in the…

In a world where Moore still has a decent chance of winning, you’re jumping the gun a bit. The women getting believed are mostly wealthy white women, it’s taking multiple ones to get anything done, and if you go to less feminist spaces than Jezebel you’ll still see all kinds of excuses for the men based on what the…

Right?! Some of the commenters act like this’ll hurt Democrats in the Senate, but it’s a pretty safe opportunity to take a real stand. I don’t think the high ground will necessarily help against Republicans, but it’d be nice if the party would do something to show its support of women.

I was referring to the “no” when she pushed him away. He had a clear indication that he fucked up. In a scenario where he didn’t know what he was doing - which I don’t believe, but hypothetically - that should’ve been when he apologized instead of acting cold towards her for rebuffing him.
