Being a Trek fan and thinking Wheaton was a pretty cool guy I had nothing but respect for him but this quote just means he's caught up in this PC bullshit too.
Listen folks, women want to be treated equally so they should be. If you're a dick to other guys, then you SHOULD be a dick to women too. Anything else is preferential treatment.
Watch how many women come along to defend preferential treatment.[/quote]
Women are definitely treated worse on the Internet pal, and if you can't figure that out you really need to click that fat, slut, or ugly link (or whatever the order is). I've been on the Internet for a while and I have gotten nowhere near the level of shit that site shows women getting.[/quote]
I am not your pal.
Of course women are treated worse, they always are and will always be so sayeth themselves. One day you'll tire of their whining too and wonder why no one gives a shit when men complain but jump to their rescue the minute women complain. Look how big this thing has become recently? It's like a damn movement now for those gullible enough to fall for it, as Wil Wheaton apparently has.
Ask yourself this, if men were treated worse on the internet and they complained, would anyone fuckin' care? Most likely men would be told to sit down and "take it like a man".
So you go on being chivalrous if it makes you feel better. I am done here.
I say, don't be a dick to anyone but the minute you single out one gender, that's called sexism.[/quote]
Yes, damn me for being friendly on the Internet! Damn me to Internet hell!!!
And honestly, if men were getting treated worse on the Internet, I would be right there to call foul. I call foul on custody settlements. I call foul on the idea that men are automatically worse at emotional things. I honestly think that the sexism that pervades society is worse for men than women. I want people to stop being dicks to women on the Internet because I desire there to be an Internet where I can freely socialize with people regardless of sex and gender. I desire an end to sexism because I do not want to be told what it is that makes me a man or how I should act in order to prove that I am a man. I desire to be myself and socialize with others who are also being themselves, rather than only being able to socialize in accordance with ridiculous gender roles. So when I see gender roles being forced down my throat or down the throat of another, fuck yeah I'll call foul.
The shit that women have to endure to socialize on the Internet is more than I would ever be able to deal with, that is wrong, so I call foul. If it were the other way around I would do the same thing. Stop assuming it's all just a feminist conspiracy and explain to me just how you can think that women do not have to endure more shit than men on the Internet?
