In general I agree with you but I don't know if Anna Kendrick is the best example. Have you seen her in Camp back when she was still really young? Maybe it was just the hair and makeup but she did look pretty geeky and mousy. I think she's genuinely one of those people that had to grow into her beauty. Not that…

Maybe if the good apples would spend more time trying to reform Greek culture, which obviously does have toxic elements or we wouldn't see a new horror story every day, and less time denying there's a problem and crying #notallfratsandsororities, people wouldn't be saying we should just scrap them altogether. You…

You've also got to love the "rape and abusive hazing are bad things and all, but it would be really a shame if people missed out on making friends in frats/sororities."

So, you're using a fake anecdote you pulled out of your ass as an argument against feminism because you don't have any real substantive argument to make. Got it.

Why didn't Siskel and Ebert make their own movies?

If you don't care, why are you throwing a tantrum?

Holding a door open is polite. That's why nobody actually yells at anyone for doing. That is a straw feminist you made up. You're blaming feminism for the figments of your imagination.

It's a good thing she doesn't actually claim games directly cause violent behavior or misogyny. She says that misogyny in games contributes to the overall misogyny in our culture and is therefore harmful. That's an important distinction.

Because. Women only get to be considered fully human if every one of us is perfect and we all coddle men at all times. Feminists are constantly told by angry dudebros that if we aren't perfect and docile at all times, they'll hate feminism forever. It's a silencing tactic. It reminds me of little kids who threaten…

Because for the people who hate her, it's not about whether or not she makes her arguments well. It's anger that a woman has an opinion. It's anger at discovering that gaming is a hobby, not an exclusive club for boys.

It would help if the "activism" wasn't limited to tweets and emails to Gawker sponsors. Maybe if they were doing something substantive, the group would be more cohesive.

Occupy wasn't started as a rape movement so that's a false equivalency. GG was started as a harassment movement.

Well considering that the whole thing started to harass Zoe Quinn and ethics and journalism was invented after the fact as a shield against bad PR, you probably shouldn't be surprised that people view gamergate as all about harassment.

You missed my point sweetie. Why don't you calm down? Your irrational hysteria can't possibly be good for your delicate constitution.

Same here. Actually, I was jealous of the Jewish kids growing up because they got to miss school for their holidays and I didn't. I saw it as an advantage for them. As an atheist, I'm all for things being secular but this isn't a big thing I don't think.

Fine. You're part asshole and part stale Axe Body Spray stench.

A woman makes a mild criticism of a shirt. Angry men respond by telling her to kill herself. And your takeaway is that women are overly emotional?

Fair enough, but you're still a complete asshole.

Inside jokes are called that for a reason. Because they stay in your inner circle. Thinking before donning an offensive garment is not too much to ask. It's part of his white male privilege that he doesn't have to think about whether or not something is harmful. But considering how much women are constantly being…
