    Transgenders, bathrooms, and gender segragation

    I know a number of people who are trans and gender fluid.It's about body dismorphia(sp). Gender identity is something that fits or that it doesn't. You may feel gender notions are silly, and many of them are because most is cultural. BUT there are psychological factors in human behavior and...

    First Date, Gifts From The Guy

    I always feel weird about it, but I recognize that if a person wants to be nice let them because that's what I'd want. On the first date my now boyfriend and I discussed it before hand. He's the sort of guy who likes to pay for things and just randomly buys gifts for me. If we're at a restaurant...

    Rape vs Violence: A Double Standard

    Hence the phrase "to me". It is subjective.

    This is Why Criticizing Anita Sarkheesian is Irrelevant and Pointless

    You do realize your putting things into what I said that aren't there.And who the hell is "you", me? It sounds like a plural. I'm talking from my perspective I don't claim to speak for anyone but me. Also I never said you had to think and feel like everyone else. My point isn't that she's wrong...

    Rape vs Violence: A Double Standard

    One. Don't you ever dare fucking put words in my mouth. I never mentioned censorship. The proliferation of rape culture isn't through just depicting rape. Never said that. You understood nothing of what I said. So let me break it down. Rape culture is the combination of factors in our media and...

    Rape vs Violence: A Double Standard

    Firtly rape and murder are very different things and the sense of violation experienced by victims very different. They are only equal in that both are horrible things to happen to people. To me rape is a form of torture, and murder is murder. Torture is worse than murder because you make a...

    On Rape Jokes and Sensitivity

    I'm just going to throw this out there most people who tell rape jokes have never experienced or had someone close to them experience a flashback (I can't remember the actual term). What most people don't know is that assault/rape survivors often suffer from flashbacks or can't deal with certain...

    The difference of isms.

    You aren't comprehending this at all are you? That sounded meaner than I meant it to, but you really don't seem to understand what I'm saying. Or more likely you think it's wrong and thus refuse to accept it. You keep saying it's oversensitive political correctness. Sometimes yes it is, but once...

    The difference of isms.

    Oh yes Bullying taught me plenty of lessons. It taught me how to not trust people. It taught me what it was like to want to kill someone. IT taught me what it was like to hate with such a passion that my body couldn't stop shaking and I couldn't make a coherent sentence. People say bullying...

    The difference of isms.

    To a point that's true the intent, actions, and person are not always indicative of each other. I make racist comments all the time, but it's clear that the intent is to play on stereotypes and that I don't really buy into them. I tell people if they are offended they can offend me back in the...

    This is Why Criticizing Anita Sarkheesian is Irrelevant and Pointless

    Who are you to say so. Plenty of people like her videos and plenty of people can and do critique gaming on feminist levels. She's just the one who has been harassed the most. She has the right to share her perspective Why would they want to lie? And supporting characters are on covers all...

    Repair her Armor Blog

    that's the eschergirls tumblr I think. All the redesigns are pretty great. I've always had an issue with the lack of putting females in more believable armor. It's like there is this compulsion to emphasize a woman's femaleness for no apparent reason half the time. It's one thing when you...

    Poll: RPG armor

    It's not a simple question. It depends on game mechanics and game structure. In Fallout having targeted blows do certain damage makes sense for instance, or in Mass Effect certain body shots seem to be more effective. Keep in mind in the latter you can mix and match armor parts, and in the...

    Girlfriend Zone!

    The sad part is that these guys don't realize how obvious it is that that's how they think. I know one guy because we orbit the same friend group (though we aren't really friends we're on good terms). I'm not physically his type (being nearly a foot taller and black) nor am I in personality...
