But it’s a self-aware sort of gimmickry, one that takes digs at the band members’ own distant and current lack of cool, and maybe that shamelessness is enough to ameliorate its naked desperation.

It's virtually impossible to tell who's underneath all the muddy Ronan makeup crap. But yep, that's Lee, all right.

Yep! Because everybody knows that the way to prove that gamers aren't sexist or misogynist is to hurl thousands upon thousands of rape threats and death threats AT SEVERAL WOMEN , to the point where they have to leave their homes. Totally makes sense, you're absolutely right.

You clearly have no idea what feminism is, what it stands for, or what it's about. By all means, though, keep running your mouth like a tinhatted lunatic.

"Which is really the root of the problem - why do feminists feel the need to constantly comment on things they aren't even a part of or don't even like? Talk about insecurity."

And it's not even *good* whine. It's that whine in a box that's gone and expired. Mbleh.

A thousand internets to you for the giggle that "What Happened to Baby Jane?" reference gave me. XD

Yeah, it is possible to hate men. Plenty of radical feminists do it. HOWEVER - yet again - that doesn't make it misandry and it doesn't mean misandry is a thing. Because misogyny is endemic, systematic and widespread. There are entire hate groups and political parties and religions that are singularly devoted to…

Sexual assault is one of the few crimes where a man can be caught red-handed and everyone leans back on 'oh, well, hang on, now - it's innocent until proven guilty, you know!" Because of course - chicks, right? They're crazy - they'll say and do anything to 'trap' a man or get revenge on him, like... confessing to…

"except, if a men try to make progress for themselves, they're called out on misogyny."

Do you actually have an argument or you're the 'women are always wrong' type and are just gonna say that?

There are degrees of 'worse'. An 'ew' is technically still a 'nope', just a more vehement one.

Misandry DOESN'T exist.

By its very nature, it cannot.

Men, by and large - with very, very few rare exceptions - are the keepers of the keys when it comes to power of any significance in the world. By sheer dint of that fact, that means it is impossible for them to be an oppressed class.

Same reason that there's no such…

I live and work on the internet. I know what it's like out there.

Ah, but you see - them saying no is the worst *they* can do. You feeling bad or humiliated about it has *nothing*. to. do. with. them. Making someone else responsible for how you, yourself, feel, is cowardly bullshit.

Yes, but *my* idea of a worse response is 'ew!' not 'omg you're trying to rape me!'.

You don't know wtf feminism is, so don't talk to me about it like you do. Go away, real adults are talking.

It can, but what's the alternative? Keep quiet? Let them get away with it and toddle on off and have a happy life, free of the consequences of what they've done? That's hardly preferable, if you ask me.

This reminds me of the case about Marion Zimmer Bradley's daughter coming out and confessing that her mother had…

"Dissenting opinions" looks an awful lot like "rape apologism" from where the fuck I'm sitting.

*sits back and waits for 'rawr feminazi cunt!' tirades to begin, because internet*

I'm not making an assumption. I'm using my eyes, seeing the bullshit in the comments, and calling it bullshit. That's not assumption, that's observation. Take care to learn the difference.
