“But it’s for that very reason that it’s so disappointing when this incredible energy for justice is twisted and turned against itself, which is what many of us believe is happening in this case.”

I wonder if the number are skewed by creepy pedo dudes or the never-maturing dudebros who always target teens because women their age know better than to deal with their shit. Like the studies that show that men who sexually assault one woman are substantially more likely to sexually assault multiple women.

Yeah, idgi. If it’s just the 3x3 shape, a lot of brands do exactly the same thing.

Oh sure, it’s an entirely different case if you can agree on it and there’s no suspicion of malicious intent.

No, it’s not reasonable at all. If you suspect your partner of committing crimes against you, you should break up with them instead of practicing creepy and controlling behavior.

A lot of comments think she gave up on the relationship suddenly because she found someone else, which is possible for sure. But more often in my experience, someone puts a lot of effort into the relationship, voicing concerns, while the other person coasts. Then the first person initiates the breakup and the second…

I dunno, think about it from the other end;

#1 is a case where I wish we had more details. Possibly no one was at fault, but it seems like a bad sign when someone in a long-term relationship is surprised by the breakup.

Nah, you missed my point.

I get enough of this BS at school, and expect this b/c they’re all just immature college boys, but to see this run rampant in a successful company that paints themselves as a progressive organization???

I mean, I know the whole “fight fire with fire” cliche has some merit and I’m not saying any of the behavior presented in the article is OK, but isn’t this the very definition of sexism?

If you think you have a better approach, then do it yourself instead of shitting on someone else expecting them to conform to you

However, when thinking in context about how liberals and conservatives treat people they like, this is one area that I personally feel conservatives have an advantage over us.

I get what you mean, and I’m a little bummed at the number of comments going after her apparent age - she’s talked about how her looks and gender make it hard for her to be taken seriously. But it’s also reasonable that people would look at everything going on with Musk and ask Grimes how she could stay involved with…

Oh yeah, I’m not excusing her behavior. I actually think that’s what makes it so disappointing. She’s shown some awareness of issues in the past but this recent stuff makes it clear that her feminism is of the rich and white variety.

IIRC, she gave a pretty good apology for the bindi.

I would love to sing the song that its worse for PoC,

I appreciate your tone and the way you’re going from your own experience, but the stats and most womens’ anecdotal evidence disagrees. I don’t know the stats for tech or engineering, specifically, but in my field (physics) studies generally report that half of women claim to have faced some kind of sexism. In light of…

When in school, I saw less women in the tech fields - THAT is the problem IMO, its not that the promotion possibilities aren’t there, its that the women aren’t there in a high enough number to fill those positions.

To be fair, you could treat most of these games as if they were more linear - do the main quests, confront the boss at 30 hours instead of 200, and then put the game down. My problem is that I like to save the ending for after I do everything else (which doesn’t happen).
