I honestly find these debates on Sarkeesian appalling, especially on sites like these that are dominated by men. Yes, there have been others on this forum defending Sarkeesian or at least feminism, and I would sincerely like to thank you for that. However, I have a couple issues here. One, is...

Well, I think it mostly stems from the fact that our fantasies when it comes to story telling go back to very old fairy tales or fables or plays even. All those princess stories come from Medieval times or earlier. Back then, especially among the upper class and even to a lesser extent the lower...

I was trying to make hash browns from this frozen processed stuff. The instructions said something to the effect of put them in a pan, cover, flip after x amount of time, cover, cook some more, then ta-daaaa~ Hashbrowns! Man, I don't know what I did but they were near burnt on the bottom but...

I love your voice. It's so soothing and melodious. ^u^ I am quite enjoying listening to everyone's voice. It's interesting to hear the varieties not only in accent, but tone as well. Anyway, I guess I should offer up my voice too, especially considering not many women have so far. I don't...

I really don't know why they insist on making kids read plays for school. Plays are not meant to be read, and no matter how hard you try, you are not going to get the same effect. You only do plays and literature in general a disservice by doing this. I know a lot of people who find Shakespeare...

I would stay far away from Portal 2. While it's a good game, I'm going to assume two things. One, you have probably played it already. Two, she probably doesn't have much experience with 3D puzzles or timing puzzles either. I imagine it will be very frustrating for both of you, either because...

Let's not forget it's not just math involved here. You have to think of psychology as well. It's been shown that if you stick people in a group, it changes the way they approach problems. For instance, if everyone else in the group is giving the wrong answer, especially if they seem emphatic...

I have quite a few, but more of them relate to my particular university as opposed to the system in general. 1. My school has bumped the rate of tuition every. single. semester for the past, oh, 5 semesters. It costs more to go to my school now than to go to UVA. And it's not like I'm going...

I kind of wished you included Heaven's Light and the interlude. I think the contrast between that pure love Quasimodo has and the lust Frollo is consumed by creates this amazing scene, but this is certainly the most powerful villain song in Disney history, but of course, The Hunchback of Notre...

I don't know about predicting the future, but I will say that I experience deja vu on a very regular basis. I've had similar experiences to you in which I will have a dream, and I can recall that dream in the morning. Then months, sometimes years later, the event will happen exactly as I...

I can't think of any names from video games that I would want to name my children after, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I always plan on naming my first son Atticus after Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird, but I think naming children after characters from books is pretty common...

I've never been hungover before. Mind you, I don't drink all that much. I've only ever been drunk once, only because it is so god damn hard for me to get drunk. Seriously, it's ridiculous. Of course, I can't drink booze straight; I pretty much have to mix it with something so the amount of...

I have a question. If this is simple a question of being personable and how other people will perceive you, why does it matter if that person has a penis or a vagina? I can understand this whole "I'm afraid they'll think I'm an idiot so I'll be quiet thing." However, I'm right on the dividing...

No, big boobs do not inherently mean bad characterization. That's like saying all women in real life with giant knockers are sex kittens. However, the thing is that sort of overt physical sex appeal usually signals lack of characterization. I'm having a hard time thinking of an example to...

I agree with most people here that this is ridiculous. One, this isn't news. Two, most games that involve any real player interaction online are rated M anyway. However, why did ABC feel the need to include the fact that the average gamer is 33 years old? Yes, older players may be more likely...
