“I do have proof,” he whines, nasally, “since my wife needed my help getting the car out of the garage, huuuuuuuu, it means ladies aren’t good at doing things. Just feeling things, durrrrrrr.”

I was especially annoyed because what is the opposite of gracefully handling something? It’s becoming a bitchy, nagging, whiny, bitter harpy who is a sore loser. That seems to be his take on the inequality dialogue. Why am I still talking about him...I don’t know. I’d 2nd your gif if I could.

I did that too. It was a satisfying, if not fleeting, moment.

Chess skills ≠ intelligence.

You articulated it much better than I, but that’s the mechanism happening here, totally. I’m so sorry you’ve had first hand experience with it. It’s so frustrating and sad this goes on. I hope one day it gets too hard to maintain that degree of denial and they realize how extremely cruel they’ve been and what they…

I agree! Holy there’s an obsessive fixation on the very statistically rare possibility she’s lying. The existence of one case seems to discount the next 800 women who deal with a much more hostile justice system because of it. As if victims don’t risk inflicted shame, nasty social repercussions, court fees, unwanted…

No one should have to make that calculation, that’s horrendous. They need to work harder at deserving you. Goodness knows, they don’t deserve Yaara, not by a long shot. Maybe declining enrolment will urge them to educate the newcomers on expectations and consequences worth hearing. *sigh* I doubt it though.

Those smirking douches in the interview...I badly want to fly in there with a katana, go all Kill Bill on their asses. I really feel like I want to. This is just brutal.

I just doubt all 15 had prior engagements. But as I said in an earlier comment, I think one or two kids encouraged the other ones not to go. There’s just no way all them were too busy, forgot invite, had rude parents....

From my knowledge of the young crowd, their bullying is intense. I believe this was orchestrated on the group level. In other words, I don’t think each kid just didn’t wanna, I think there were ring-leaders making it so. Otherwise even if they weren’t crazy about some people there, there might have been the…

I think you could take the leap and call it legit emotional abuse. It is an effort to isolate the child, and an effort to sculpt the child into something unnatural (akin to gay therapy- not same, but both want to push an unhealthy reality - denying basic human impulses and needs) by using guilt and extreme pressure. I…

Please, let’s here what those inherent species differences are. People say this, they never clarify. When they do, I tend to find the response outdated, debunked. Most tend to be ones that actually vary more within a gender than across (like libido), when hard data is used. So, besides physical strength, a penchant…

The best reply I’ve read on the internet on this issue. Thank you.

I just can’t think of where you live where sexism doesn’t seem like much of a problem. Must be nice. I’m waiting for a bus, so not for you, but anyone who tells me this ever again, the following may in fact be a rant, but actually it’s just what comes to mind in 15 min:

To be totally honest, having played thousands of games, the first one I found (outside of the FF series, and Nintendo selections) where it was truly to be comfortable* to be girl playing it was Halo, then Skyrim, followed soon after by Mass Effect and Battlefield. These games succeed in not being sexist. Guys and…

The racists code it like this: the character wasn’t black in the source material! This is untrue to the creator’s visionnnnnn”

Gamergate’s one coherent message: we don’t like to share.

That drove me crazy too. Too many people see the “fem” part and think they can guess the literal meaning. It actually just plain means gender equality. From the dictionary: Feminism: the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Fuck I’m tired of this mistake.

Sometimes I wonder why they feel like they have to really quickly get the movie out there. I know they want to maximize the audience interest, but I feel like the original audience will still watch it, while newcomers would like a movie with answers. It might even keep them coming for a sequel with more fleshed out…
