Story time: my first pregnancy was 20 years ago. (I was literally pregnant exactly 20 years ago. Huh, neat. I just realized that. Sorry...)I was extremely excited to have a baby. So was my husband. It felt so good to be married to a man who was so invested and excited to be a dad so I thought it was appropriate to say…

You know who might not find it trivial or petty? The mother of your child. (In a general sense. No idea if you have or will have a child.) Yes, the article touches on the very real fact that pregnancy is the root cause of women being "slighted", but this is really about an important acknowledgement within your own…

It's great that you are an involved, caring father to be. But you are not pregnant. You won't give birth and you won't need someone to stich your genitals up afterwards. You seem to think you have the raw end of the deal. You don't. You do not face anything like the same physical changes and dangers as the mother of…

Who said if you're not pregnant, you're just a sperm donor? I don't think anyone. There is, in fact, a grey area between pregnant and sperm donor. You don't gets all teh cookies but you definitely play an important role. It's cool.

Anyone who uses 'incubator' to refer to a woman sets of the troll alarm. This one is hungry, haha!

Amen amen! Pregnant means "a baby is growing inside you". If dads can say that they're pregnant, next thing you know people adopting children will use it too. "Good news, we're pregnant! We just signed the papers and our two year old will be here tomorrow!"

Wait… so being invested in this kid they also decided to make is something you feel like men deserve a special cookie for?

What the hell? Nobody is berating any man for being a supportive spouse. It's a jokey article with a minor point about a strange new phrase being kicked around.

When I was 3, I told my mother "I don't believe in God cause I can't see him". She countered with "You can't see electricity either, but when we turn on the lights, they work". I looked at her and said "I can see the light, even if I can't see the electricity. It is not the same. There is no God".

It's not fucking rocket science. You cannot believe that sexism is a problem, and not also believe that a death-celebrating culture is not also a problem for similar reasons. That's a complete logic-fail.

I think maybe you are being influenced more by your brother and his predilections than by the facts in this case- did you look at the photos of the family and evidence of their "gothness"? Having parents that wear Hot Topic shirts, draw Dia De Los Muertos-esque posters and listen to a certain type of music does not…

You sound like you must have an extensive background in childhood development. What is it, again? I mean, besides your niece and nephew.

Show me a single instance of a regular commenter engaging in that behavior. Find one.

Wait, are you seriously trying to compare a troll on Jezebel to like 70% of the "respected" Kotaku commenting community?

It just isn't possible for me to look at GTA as a "lighthearted" or even "satirical" game series when female exploitation and complete lack of female participation continues to be an important mechanic in the game. It expresses a specific, almost misogynist perspective of women because:

Only after you stop trying to make 'fetch' happen.

Games have the potential to be art. And plenty of games do it, I think. GTA is not one of them. If you think literally every movie ever made is art, then sure, GTA is art too. But if you think some films are art and others are just pandering commercial crap, then GTA (and 90% of all video games) must fall with the…

Hold on, I'm not saying the male character is bad. That's why I didn't really have a problem with the female version of that character. If you think about it, not even Totilo is calling the male protagonists bad in and of themselves. They were non-idiots, and any woman in such a role would consequently be a non-idiot,…

Why is it that whenever anyone bemoans the lack of female protagonists in a video game, people lose their shit? Is it because they feel like the complaint aligns with some sort of "feminist agenda?" Is it because video games are supposed to fulfill some sort of escapist fantasy and who cares if there are women or not?…

I don't think the piece is at all suggesting GTA needs to be more politically correct.
