Here Ya Go

There’s a discussion going on over at WOW Insider about sexism in World of Warcraft. I’m not linking to it so you can read the main post, which is just full of I’m not a feminist but . . .  BS and the notion of how women should act like ladies. No, I’m sending you over there for the comments on the post. Yet again, we see debate about something that’s not open for debate: equal treatment and respect for women. People who argue against it are feeding into the misogyny of a patriarchal culture and most of them aren’t even aware of how that misogyny colors so much of their thinking.

But don’t point it out to them. That just means you’re an angry, unpleasant woman—not someone bringing up uncomfortable truths about their reality. :roll:

And don’t worry—it doesn’t take long for the But what about the menz??! crowd to show up.
