Geek and Misandry

Anonymous asked: Geekdom is the only place where socially shunned males can be save and be themselves. So when women, who exclude them outside geek culture, invade those save spaces and force the scene to conform to their wants and rules they leave the men with nowhere to go. Where can they flee? They're backed into a corner. Attacking invading women is not harrassment - it is defense. Women hate socially inept males. Why should they not hate them back when they try to destoy their only sanctuary.

Ok, where to begin with this trainwreck.

Gaming was never yours. Never. It was not designed as a safe space for guys free of women and you have no exclusive rights to the medium in the same way that no gender have exclusive rights to film and television. If women said you were not allowed to read books because that is their safe thing you would think they were ridiculous, you do not own a medium.

Women are not required to want to hang out with you in real life in order to game, that is another bullshit standard you apply to them and not to men. If a guy is a jerk whom you wouldn’t want to hang out with in real life you don’t throw a tantrum.

Women are not a hivemind, we each have our own individual thoughts and feelings and judge you individually. 

That being said, women don’t want to hang out with you, not because you’re socially inept, but because you are an entitled asshole who thinks that women owe you their time outside of games in order to be able to play games without hostility. 

If men weren’t hostile towards women, who have just as much a right to game as them, and weren’t so hostile towards the concept of fair representation then there would be any changes to the “scene” required, because people would already have a fair and fun experience.

Games are not your sanctuary mate, they are a product medium and never once has it been yours. Get over yourself.

and can we talk about this idea that so many geek dudes have that only men are socially awkward??? like really? we have a lock on that too?? like dude frames this whole thing like no woman has ever existed that was socially awkward, no woman has ever been “socially shunned”. what the fuck

like no bro women shun you because you’re an entitled woman hating asshole that literally justifies the harassment of women. ask yourself what fucking woman would want to be with a dude that acts like it’s okay for a dude to harass her just because she wants to play some fucking games

pull your head out of your ass, jackoff

Men romanticise their own social ineptitude while completely ignoring the same issues in other genders.
