Sure, you live a life inconsistent with your purported ethics, that is your right, we all do it to some degree. You can express *literal horror* at shipping chicks in the mail and still eat McNuggets. But it does make you look silly, which was my point.

Yeah, 75k people don't know how fucking farms work.

CVS Lady: "Do you have a CVS card?"

The fact that you think "existing as a woman" is attention-seeking is...wow.

That strip is complete horseshit.

It kills me, it just always seems like a lack of empathy. Just people complaining " but it's ok for me so why should I care?"

Beause it makes him uncomfortable. And if someone makes you uncomfortabl, it's easier to think they're doing it because they hate you than because they have a point. Cognitive dissonance.

Probably to some extent, because women speaking out against sexism (or what they consider sexism) and advocating change always get death and rape threats. People tracking them down, threatening kids, hacking bank accounts etc are common too.

Yeah, her videos are so mild. People make way more inflammatory feminist videos about movies, books and other media, and fans of those media manage to avoid losing their fucking minds over it.

"Bomb threats are bad. Ok, that's out of the way."

I don't understand why you need it to be a "go make your own games" situation, life isn't an us vs them situation. And men didn't cater to their own needs, men have had the power, in having the power they have only really catered to their own needs, whilst ignoring the needs of women, much like in politics old white…

Sweetie, all women have to do is take apart a certain kind of guy's argument and the ragesplosion is epic. I just debated a 50something guy briefly on fb, guy I don't even know who had some highly, um, original economic theory going on in his argument. He's a lawyer; I used to work in govt in intl trade. I put a fork…

That is what I find oddest about all of this. Her claims are NOT revolutionary (and as you said, are basically claiming little more than "tropes exist in media"). If it wasn't for the HUGE negative backlash I wouldn't have considered what she was doing all the important or interesting, but the problem is apparently a…

Apparently her original series about tropes in general was already drawing a little attention from sexist sites and blogs, despite being tame feminist critiques, so I'm guessing that nobody suspected the huge mountain of BS that would be unleashed. But apparently her starting a Kickstarter for $6000 (for the current…

I'm sure she expected some, maybe not to the point of actually needing to alert authorities, but you basically can't be a woman saying something on the internet without expecting to be called awful names, at the absolute minimum.

who force others to call them video game journalists

There is no obvious feminist hypocrisy in this case. There are a lot of decent men who are upset that this man would hit a woman, but that is because they are decent men, not because they are feminist hypocrites. As a woman, that's not what shocks me. What shocks me is that a person slugged another person so hard they…

wow. That is a remarkably privileged viewpoint. I agree that this school's dress code policy is both repressive and damaging. Probably extremely damaging. But it is not even close to the mental and physical hellscape that is prison. No one is being denied necessary psychotropic medication, or forced into a cell, or…

yeah and his jibs are SUPER cut rn

yall go to mit and THAT is your frat homepage?

Because it's wrapping the entire thing and removing it would involve reaching in and grabbing the person's food. That's what fish en papillote IS; that's how it's fucking served.
