What does any of this have to do with percentages? The problem at hand is simple: Women, or other discriminated groups, can give solid ideas but there are situations where they will not be credited or they will be ignored solely on the basis that they are a woman or of a certain group, and sometimes their ideas are then…
Everyone has an agenda. To deny someone's accurate points because you don't like their overall persona is counterproductive. Counter the argument. I agree that she often plays the victim. Compare her to someone like Jade Raymond who undoubtedly gets death threats although likely not as many or as vile. But we hardly hear…
Bullying in schools still happens because often when people speak up it just means more punishment. Teachers are often too deep in the thick of it to actually realise what they're seeing is bullying. Same thing with women in the workplace. You can confront people, but what happens when the boss does something illegal, like…
Just to be clear, I'm not saying, "Blame the victim" like it makes me right. At all. That's why I avoided those words -- it's putting *responsibility* on the victim which is wrong. We need to all be responsible for ourselves, but it's important for us to also acknowledge that we can only be responsible for ourselves if…
usually when playing devils advocate it helps to tell people "i'm playing devils advocate here, blah blah blah unpopular opinion". otherwise you just come across as a troll

Hehe my biggest problem with the linked video, was that it wasn't an actual debate between Anita and Manson. Because i shit you not, Manson is ridiculously intelligent and articulate and i'm willing to bet he could out-debate her with ease.
it looks like you are refusing to understand what i am trying to say. yes i think most of the negative things that happen to women, done by men, are seen as being mysoginy when most of it is just good old genderneutral assholeness. that does not mean i dont believe in the existance of sexism. the only point why this went…
haha negevpro is trying to swim upstream in a river of ignorence. dudes, serously, what you are saying is basically; "i dont belive there is discrimination against women or other minoritys in the tech industry, because im a white male, and ive never been discriminated."
i feel like this has been her strategy from the getgo, and it worked pretty well. like she only disabled the comments on her youtube videos when she got waaaay popular and people started actually speaking for her in the comments. doesn't make such a nice headline as "evil gamers wanna kill me!" anyhow i think the president…
