A Crash Course in Feminism Mk. II (or, why everyone should be a feminist)

[eldargal]

How much do you like your job? Hehe.

[CoffeeGrunt]

I like the paycheck a lot, and the dolphin-saving aspect. :P

Small text I know, but funny.

She's clearly a feminist, any one whos watched the program can see that.

I also want that comic made into a game, it looks hilarious.

Though that wont necessarily help you...

[CoffeeGrunt]

Why #gamergate is important

Fun fact: Morgan Ramsay, founder of the Entertainment Media Counsel, [URL="https://storify.com/MorganRamsay/how-often-do-video-game-journalists-write-about-fe"]did an objective study of how much of gaming journalism talks about sexism or social justice[/URL].
To do this, he downloaded 130,524 articles from 37 RSS feeds of 23 outlets, including The Escapist, Rock Paper Shotgun, CVG, Edge Online, Eurogamer, Gamasutra, Game Informer, GamePolitics, GamesBeat, GamesIndustry International, GameSpot, GamesRadar, IGN, IndieGames, Joystiq, Kotaku, Massively, MCV, NowGamer, PocketGamer.biz, Polygon, Shacknews and VG24/7, published over a period of twelve months. He then did a search on how often these games articles mentioned sexism, feminism, or misogyny.
The result? Over a period of one year, 0.41% of 130,524 articles referenced feminism, feminist, sexism, sexist, misogyny, and misogynist explicitly.
That’s less than half of one percent.
So next time you hear someone whining that “feminism is taking over video games journalism”, what they’re actually whining about is that feminism exists in video games journalism.

"Not all men."

Bahaha.

As one barbarity is fought, [URL="http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/india-rape-crisis-sees-mob-castrate-alleged-sex-attacker-shocking-scenes-1469424"]another one arises.[/URL]

I can't really comment on this with any certainty on whether I feel it was the right or wrong thing. We've all heard the old chestnut from people saying rapists should have be castrated, but vigilante mob justice is not a good replacement for policing, tighter regulation and awareness.

That said, it's a sign of a strong sentiment of rape being utterly unacceptable in India. I suppose a strong message is what the country needs, and perhaps beyond India's borders, too...

If he did do it, ****ing serves him right. Won't be doing it again will he.
