    I didn't watch it. Is it worth spending part of my data plan on or was it just run of the mill stupidity? My guess is the later.

    Single. Far more female friends than male friends. I've been involved in the tech industry, in one form or another, since 1998. I'm an active gamer, and I do play a number of AAA titles, and keep up with gaming news as best as I can. I am also a feminist.

    I don't know. I'm just a feminist.

    First is sufferagettes, second is 'round about the 70's when feminists were still about empowerment, and women being able to any job a man could do, and were sex-positive, and pro-porn, and read Playgirl, and all that, then third wave, it took a nosedive into the eros of men being evil, and threatening, and all that Andrea Dworkin crap.

    Ah, I see. To be honest, I don't really care for any definition beyond "feminist." I prefer to address issues on an individual basis rather than accept a sweeping, generic label that serves no real purpose for me.

    Just as well. The third-wavers made up the waves anyway.

    I don't like getting into internal social politics. I read up on the waves, and found that I didn't care for any of it. I have a clear goal in mind regarding the equal rights of women everywhere, and dealing with people who push for inter-organizational influence isn't a part of that goal. No matter what movement exists, there is always internal conflict. I don't like dealing with it, so I don't.

    So before you wouldn't shut up about your "superior knowledge" on this subject, but now that someone's asked you to quantify your experience...

    Remember this next time you're expecting a serious response from one of the adults, okay? :borg:

    I can, with all honesty and from an insiders perspective per 2000 at a liberal college in engineering I did come across a professor that men and women alike said was a huge sexist.

    If you went to talk to him when guys wer note around he wouldn't answer a females question. If guys were watching he would answer but he would give in depth responses if a guy asked to question again. :jayzus:

    Other than that one asshole meh, it was fine.

    Oh Jesus Christ. At least go and look it up if you're going to throw historical terms around.

    I imagine most of them have the same rates as other people their age. Of course, most of them are nothing like the 0.0001% wrongly used to defame the whole group. It is a classic buckshot move to find the fringe of the fringe and then to lie and claim they typify the other side. Classic demonization and a total lie.

    Notice how you keep changing the subject? That is usually done by someone who knows he is not doing well.

    You know who's had a lot of relationships with women?
    Hugh Hefner.
    Larry Flint's another good one.
    Why they aren't natural allies with the Anita brigade is anyone's guess...

    Do you think it your opinion mattered even a tiny amount I would have posted that?

    But I do see you don't have an actual reply.

    The old inverse armor rule, the more protection it offers, the less skin it covers.

    There has actually been a push to move away from that in American games for a while (long before this current circus), but you will still see tons of it in Japanese ones.
