biological privileges afforded to men

She added in a DM that modern fantasy powerhouses like Game of Thrones and Skyrim “are still very much Euro-centric male power fantasies”

are over being completely floored by the fact that breasts exist around the time they hit sixteen or so.

I don’t have any advice, but the situation sounds awful and I really hope your interview goes well. Good luck!

I don’t know what you’re dealing with, but a lot of his advice is aimed at nerds (obviously) who are usually single because they have poor self-esteem or don’t get out enough. If that’s one of your problems, I bet you could improve! I was single into my 20's and felt this ball of dread in my chest whenever I thought…

No problem, but the point I was trying to go for is that a lot of women already feel the need to be be nice to a guy until he goes way too far over the line. Some people who are pushy or worse will take advantage of that and do things that make other people uncomfortable, but not enough to stop what’s going on. So,…

Poison the well? I mean, they aren’t going to refrain from dating or look badly on all men just because pick-up artists exist. But I’d guess around the time they start drinking alcohol. Idk how useful the game will be, but it’s already a good thing just to know these tactics exist. People like to give each other the…

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…
