Literally because of the patriarchy. It'd what teaches men that:

  • women's primary resource and value is their beauty
  • commenting on random women's beauty is appropriate regardless of context
  • there are little to no social repercussions to being unprofessional/creepy unless the woman feels gutsy enough to share it with society at large
  • even worse, that this behavior is actually acceptable and praiseworthy amongst like minded creepy peer groups.

Edit: I get it. Neckbeards hate the term patriarchy. Wonder why. Particularly strange because you could be using it right this minute for your complimentary free indulgence! Your absolution.

"no no I'm not an unrepentant misogynistic creep because I'm a horrible person, the patriarchy conditioned me to be that way!"

So, are all of the comments in this thread saying this is okay? Because all of them that I've read have said this is ridiculous, because it fucking is.

Can you point me in the direction of all this privilege that I supposedly was born into?

Kthanks.

How often do you feel the need to ask a woman to accompany you on your walk somewhere because you feel unsafe because of women catcalling you?

How often do you feel you can't make an event you really wanted to go to because it ends really late at night and you'd have to walk home from the train station alone, passing by the spot a woman was murdered for refusing the advances of a stranger?

How often do you not go out with your daughter because when you're out strange women come up to you and feel like they have every right to touch your child, or when you tell them that you're a single father they say things like "oh, how will she grow up to be a proper lady without a woman in her life?"

How often do you have to spend thousands of dollars to get custody of children from a terrible mother because family courts are skewed in favor of women.

We all have problems, both genders. At least women have the option of learning self defense or getting pepper-spray, a taser, or a handgun and learning how to properly defend themselves. And that's not victim blaming, everyone should know basic self-defense. Men only have the option to throw large sums of money at our problems which is a lot harder than learning some self defense or purchasing pepper-spray or a taser.

But how about this, instead of having some huge discussion about who has it worse we just take a step back and acknowledge that both genders have many problems, and we as a society have plenty to overcome.

But what would I know, I'm just a white male cis shitlord.

No idea why you're getting railed on so hard. I agree with pretty much all the points you made, other than your use of the word "literally". There is a strong intersection between the "gaming culture" and the software development industry. Both of those arenas are still filled with unending misogyny. I'm not afraid to point that out and I don't care if others want to downvote me as well. If anything I think how many downvotes you've received is rather telling.

Just because it's true that the software industry is full of misogynistic asshats doesn't mean it's always that way. We have a female developer on our team. I can't speak for her of course but I can't think of any examples of mistreatment or disrespect. I'm pretty proud of my team for never treating her any differently from anyone else. I've worked in quite a few shops though and this is the first one I can say that about. I've witnessed some pretty cringeworthy stuff in the past with regard to how the few female developers I've worked with were treated by fellow male developers.

Is the software industry just as blatantly and insultingly sexist as the gaming community? Methinks not.

Also, go developer women. I had two on my team at my first job, they were an absolute pleasure to work with.

I didn't say that. I said there was a strong intersection. That's an important qualifier.

Right. This is why a lot of men really struggle to embrace feminism; because rather than explain yourself rationally, you launch into a raging furious tirade, and when people don't listen, you start to make your own sweeping, insulting generalisations and think that's suddenly okay. "Guys, don't stereotype women. Oh and you're all sexist neckbeards". This is incredibly rude and childish. I actually agree entirely with what you said, but it's so rude that I would never consider discussing it with you in a real life situation, which ultimately makes your point more damaging to the cause than beneficial.

[–]materialdesigner -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Uh, no. I'm definitely not going to make my message more palatable to people whose version of disagreement and critical engagement is a down vote or an image link to a parody of the "fat ugly feminist"

[–]Have_you_tried_this 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Fair enough. If you want to drop yourself down to their level, I'd expect people to pay as much notice to you as they do the trolling masses that seem to reside here.
