I think this is an issue of empathy, personally speaking, you're obviously fine with the attention, but for a lot of people, not just women, unwanted attention is not appreciated.

Jez has already decided to be not pro-frozen.
Statistics aren't meant to evaluate an individual by any means, when approaching health, at best statistics are meant as a guide, and at worst, are completely irrelevant to that person. That's the same issue I have with using averages as hard data, the average depends on the sample size and if the landscape changes so…
I think it's overly naive to imply that class doesn't play in politics and culture of India. It does, and it will, class definitely plays a part in US society and indeed most societies around the world. If a lower class Indian woman had committed these crimes and had been treated as such, I doubt India would have…
Of course we want the entire convention to be an open and inclusive space, but I don't think it hurts to bring to light the many, many issues the industry has with being inclusive and actually making a productive area for people focus on these issues at the convention itself. Why is this so bad? Why can't we be…
I have huge issues with the way this article is titled. Anyone can enter these lounges so segregation is inflammatory, and basically, a lie.
Have you ever been to PAX? Just out of curiosity?
I mean, this is SF we're talking about, and anywhere from 5th & Mission/Market to just about 26th & Mission is just not where you want to be as a woman by herself, at night. I wore a skirt once on that street, in broad daylight. Never again. I've learned my lesson, 3 different groups of men leered at me(i.e. kissy…
Honestly, I'm not surprised by this story at all, lived in the Bay Area 8 years. I know that bus stop, I know that street. I would not have been caught dead by myself in that area. And that's from someone who has lived in the 'loin for just that long.
I've never listened to more than a few songs of his, nor am I much of a fan of his, and he is definitely fucked up.
It's also worth it to note that the type of respect is different as one ages, when a person is young and attractive, it speaks about their supposed worth in society, while and older person's worth and respect in society comes with age and experience, so it's more like youth and age are valued for different ideals.
Also face masks and tons of pore targeting products. Some of them work extremely well, I had assumed it was photoshop for the longest time until I was on a flight to Beijing via Korea, Koreans got their shit down. Porcelain skin on all the flight attendants.
That's implying that women doing both male and female things has been completely accepted by society. It has not been. Just as how a male doing somehow "feminine" things is looked upon as homosexual or unmanly, same type of double standard.
I hope that one day, we can all get to a place where promoting health does not equal fat shaming.
You're ignoring the obvious health detriments that occur when OBESITY does happen. It is NOT GOOD to ignore it, it's symptomatic of larger issues, whether its physical, or mental health.
I honestly don't think she should have been banned. It's not like she was, oh I dunno, part of a gang of rapists, or part of a religious cult advocating hate. She said a dumb thing, and obviously, she's paying for it. There are bigger issues.
Eh, those women/girls are still pretty without photoshop. It's best just to focus on yourself, rather than look for outside gratification. I say this as someone who often fails at this also, but I'm consciously trying to fix that. People who are skinnier, or prettier, or more glamorous, kudos for them, I'm gonna…
Hah, it's not that hard to do that, and for the record I make all my male characters reek of disgustingly attractive pheromones a la Thor. Mmm delicious.
Games deeply represent the cultural landscape of today. It reflects it, the fact that this can happen : http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/game… because of zealous gamers who can't even take critique on games, is sad, and represents the game community and it is real. And it will continue to happen unless people address…
