I could never have lived with myself hiding it expressly to take money from my parents. And mine behaved worse than his when I came out.
I cannot ever imagine purposefully hurting my own child that deeply. How does one go from loving their child with their everything to that? What the hell happens to their hearts?
Maybe he was sick of getting treated like less than human. It's not such a strange thing to imagine, is it?
I can't imagine how difficult it would be to hide a fundamental part of yourself from your family, even if you knew that there would be negative consequences, especially as you enter adulthood. I don't understand why you are casting judgment at his choice.
These people disowning children based on their sexuality on the idea God does not like it are just damning themselves to hell.
Interesting. I'm actually the opposite on 1. - I could easily see myself regretting not playing as many games as I would have liked (usually because of spending too much time refreshing internet forums).
For some reason, this story has put me over the edge of complacency (wow, that's poetic). I'm a female computer programmer, and luckily haven't experienced that much sexism (beyond wage gaps that I'm sure are there). But I want to become an active feminist now. I want to be a pioneer somehow in my field, and do…
Any enjoyable activity you choose to do might be non-productive from a 'producing valuable shit for society' standpoint. An hour of gaming is not productive, but neither is an hour of reading YA fiction, or an hour of Game of Thrones, or an hour of working on your hotrod/motorcycle/whatever. We can't be productive…
People hate it when you call them out on things. She just pointed out the truth and it made people uncomfortable. So they are reacting like children and throwing e-tantrums.
What really blows me away about the Anita Sarkeesian hate, which I see absolutely everywhere video game loving people congregate and it never fails to embarrass and depress the shit out of me, is how it's proving everything she says absolutely right. You couldn't ask for a clearer example of the exact kind of thing…
What I'm most fascinated by — and this is not to downplay Sarkeesian's plight at all — is the men who are due to show up here to talk shit to us: about Sarkeesian, about whatever. (By way of example) I don't seek out pro-lifers to troll them, as I know that it will only serve their perverse sense of righteousness. And…
it's probably got something to do with this being a feminist website. You know, about women for women. A place where we discuss things that are effecting women.
I was at a lecture a couple months ago where the speaker was the head of the local FBI office's cyber crimes task force. He spent the whole time talking about how to make your online banking transactions safer and what they're doing to fight financial cyber-crimes. So when the Q&A session came around, I asked what…
All we can do at this point is Keep. Having. Opinions. Don't shut up. Make it the norm. Don't be scared to say what you think or feel on driving these issues forward. I offer my love and support to all women who want this to be done with so badly, because they see it every damn day and are slowly losing hope.…
Ugh. I've watched all her pieces and while I don't agree with all her points that's a good place to start a debate/discussion, not start a campaign of fear and intimidation.
Trolls like that need to be doxxed, charged, tried and sent to prison.
WHY. WHY are women seen as over-sensitive and "hysterical" and told to calm down about this shit.
