Here's the difference, Khal: Sarkeesian is playing within the boundaries of acceptable human behavior. She shares her views about the portrayal of females in video games. Some people love it, some people hate it. Does she have ulterior motives? Maybe, but even then: So fucking what? My...

I didn't use the term, you did. Why don't you tell me what you think it's supposed to mean? I already gave you the article.

As a white guy, I can both recognize and acknowledge that a lot of problems other people face will never touch me in any way. As a white guy, I also have the option to convince myself it's all bullshit. Since neither stance will affect my life in any tangible way, I can totally understand why I...

Ha ha Jesus Christ. I can't, I can't even believe this is what you consider a reasonable response. "Buy a gun. Cheers!" That's great.

You claimed, and I quote "White culture, rape culture, gun culture, and now gaming culture. No culture is too imaginary for an SJW to talk out of their ass about it.". Basically, your litmus test for whether or not something is an actual problem is "Does this affect ME right now? No? Then it's...

From the last article: Nail on the head. Don't get me wrong, Rerolled is no 4chan, but damned if that isn't a pretty good description of what goes on here regularly. Hmmm... remember that discussion we had about the changes that University made to get more females into Computer Science?

The nice thing about being a white guy is we can pretend there are literally no problems in the world and we'll be just fine. What's everybody complaining about anyway? Don't they realize how awesome things are?

I'd like to see you shrug it off when a stranger mentions your address and your parents by name. That isnotthe same as a pimply faced 14 year old screeching homophobic slurs into a headset after you blow him up in COD. One is an immature spontaneous emotional response to frustration, the other...

Alright, enough shitting up this thread with shitty results from a shitty quiz about shittiness. Sarkeesian driven out of home by online abuse and death threats Trolls drive Anita Sarkeesian out of her house to prove misogyny doesn't exist The threats in question: Not exclusively...

Female samurai from the 1800s: 106 year old Armenian woman protecting her home in 1990:

It's not a very scientific test.

I choose death by snoo-snoo.

There's no "slippery slope" here. We already distinguish between pre-meditated violent acts and acts performed in the heat of the moment. We've acknowledged that there are circumstances in which one can not be expected to behave rationally, and if watching your children die at the hands of a...

How long before random assholes are reporting bombs on every flight at all times and nobody can fly anywhere anymore?

Not nearly as lazy as throwing a haphazard correlation out and expecting it to have value JUST BECAUSE. Edit: Also, it was a fucking comic strip. I didn't draw it, but I certainly saw how it was relevant to what was being said. Also, "phrase du jour"? This is the first time ever (as far as I...

I doubt this is a first, but I'm impressed everybody is on the same side here.

I understand that. But the role of the Governor general is to be the stand-in for the Queen while she's crumpeting or whatever in Big Ben. The GG's decisions ARE the Queen's decisions, officially, even if the Queen had nothing to do with them. I wouldn't even care if it was a purely symbolic...

Reading the title of the thread, I figured the revenge killing took place some time after the accident. I could see why he would do that, but that would still be pre-meditated murder. However, since it happened just minutes after the accident, it's completely understandable that the father would...

If you guys think feminism is responsible for making people miserable, back it up and quit your bitching. I'm sick of people using correlation as some sort of magic discussion elixir. Did you know thatthisandthishappened over the same period? MIND = BLOWN Of course correlation is a valuable...

Hurr durr no fucking kidding. I didn't mean to imply that Micha?lle Jean called up the Queen and was like "Hey Lizzy, Micky J here. Stevie kind of screwed the pooch and needs you to call a time out so he can get his shit together. Is that OK?" But, as you pointed out, the Governor...

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

I didn't ditch anything. I don't have to prove, explain or justify that correlation does not equal causation. It is a given. If you think otherwise, the onus is on you.

3 response posts in ten minutes? That's the hallmark of one who has been butthurt!

Dude, I hear you. IN PRINCIPLE, the teenage girl is being treated like a second-class citizen who can not be held responsible for her actions. IN PRINCIPLE, this goes against what feminism stands for. But IN PRACTICE, this is a story about a girl who didn't get charged with possession and...

My first interpretation was that a woman was more likely to be satisfied with her partner if she had no frame of reference. The more people she's slept with, the more she realizes there are "good" and "bad" lovers. Men, on the other hand, are pretty content if they're getting any sex at all...

Citation needed.

That doesn't change my point at all. Was that story illustrative of sexism workingagainsta woman? No? Then most feminists aren't going to talk about it. Not because they think it's OK, but because why the fuck would they? Their cause is to fight against societal imbalances that work against...

Well, it depends if you consider that hypocrisy or not. I'm sure many feminists would be very against the treatment of that particular 17 year old boy. But just because they are feminists, it doesn't mean they are obligated to speak up about it lest they be labelled hypocrites (which just...

That's not what I said AT ALL. I said that every single one of us, very likely every person in the world, will remain silent when something occurs that doesn't support their personal crusade or agenda. My gripe is with attacking a specific group for doing this when every group, every person does...

Not at all, but to act like feminists are unique in their hypocrisy because they don't vocalize their distaste whenever a male suffers an injustice is, again, fucking stupid. If I had just made the Al Sharpton comment and not the MRA comment, I would not have gotten a negative response...

Nope, not that place. The place where anybody with an agenda goes when something occurs that doesn't fit their agenda. Is this surprising to anyone? Do we really need to say "Where are the women/feminists when (event that negatively effects a male) happens?" It's a fucking stupid question and...

They're hiding in the same place the MRA guys hide out every time some drunk guy beats the shit out of his wife. Alternatively, the same place Al Sharpton hides whenever a black guy robs a convenience store.

You make some very good points. Women should not be treated differently by the media for doing shitty things, and feminism agrees with that. If the journalists involved in this case had acted more responsibly, it's quite possible things would not have escalated to the point they did. That in...

Then there's the fact that when the parties opposing Harper (who held the majority of the seats in the House of Commons) tried to legitimately kick him the fuck out on a motion of no confidence, Harper got permission from the Queen (through the governor general) to call a "time out" and...

Shaming by exposing the hypocrisy? Sure. Shaming by spreading naked pictures? That's way more sexist and petty than it is righteous. Shaming by publishing personal info? That's even worse than the hypocrisy. Well, AA did say himself that sexist assholes exist and are a problem. His point seems...
