Riddle me this then, pumpkin: how do you know they're women? To you they're also words on a screen. Pictures of "bewbs" or whatever like this guy's claiming he'd send aren't cutting it. I can head over to any number of chans and grab 500 pictures of ****** that could pass someone for a woman. It means nothing.

 

Oh, that's just rich. Sorry sweetheart, but I won't be sitting here, trying to prove you that I'm a woman and that I know what gender I am better than you do (or ever will be). There are tons of women on the web or over here - I am one and I know quite a few as well.

I was actually reading a really interesting article about "Men's rights" which pointed out that they and feminists actually have something in common, in that they (should) seek to overthrow typical gender stereotypes to pave the way for greater egalitarianism. But quite often these "Men's rights" groups use legitimate concerns as a facade for their sexism and any perceived threat to their power-infused position in society (often these men are also white, straight, any other privileged position you'd like to imagine).

MRA's and feminist do have the same common goal, but it's the extremist on either side that complicate things; like the feminazis and the MGTOW's. These extremist are the problem, and get in the way of true egalitarian ideals for both sides.

Spot on. And sadly, these are the ones who gets heard most often too.

So they do have something in common after all.

This is why I will never label myself as either feminist or MRA, because anytime someone think of these groups they think of the extremist. If you're someone who believes in equal social rights you'll do good in calling yourself an egalitarian.

See, here's the thing: I bet there's no standard of proof that you'd actually accept. You've already made up your mind.

 

I was kidding about the boobs, but I bet if I posted a picture of myself in front of a picture of this very thread, you'd still say I was a dude who found a woman to pose for him. (A very dedicated one who has been pretending to be female on the internet for fifteen years, long before he took an interest in video game fandom. I guess.)

 

While I'm sure there are people pretending to be of the opposite gender all over the seedier parts of the internet, being a girl on the BioWare forums does not get you anything that would make it worth the charade. Unless you enjoy sometimes being called names by passing trolls and/or random dudes accusing you of being a dude, I guess.

Let's send him cooties in mail. That should convince him!

Is this fantasy or reality? I can't believe a person like this actually exists.

But egalitarian sounds like someone who eats eagles.

[esper]

Perhaps he is right is, perhaps da should be less politically correct. Obviosly with Southern Andrastism being what it is men should not be allowed to rule at all.

 

After all the biggest sinner (Marefret) is a man and betrayed Andraste because something so petty as jealosy, and the magisters seemed to be predominantly male and the archdemons are also seens as mostly males.

 

So if Andrastiantism was anything as our past what we should have is a society, which quite honestly argue that men should not be let anywhere near positions of power because men "obviously" is morally weaker than women and prone to make bad decision of envy and pride, which causes the Maker to turn against humanity. 

 

Now would this game be fun to play? I am sure not, but again if people want sexism this is what they should get.

[Innsmouth Dweller]

no.

 

there are major differences between people, even within specific gender and/or ethnic group. if you put all females to one group, all males to another and start assigning adjectives to those groups, not individuals, you'll fail. the same rights, equality and freedom, not the same label. i'm not going to call all men jerks just because i run into one in teh internets - that's just one jerk who happens to be man, a very loud one at that.

"YEAH DUDE SHES A GIRL DONT MESS WITH WOMEN AROUND ME I AM A GENTLEMAN"

 

Oh I don't pretend to be a gentleman, sweetling. Farthest thing 

 

 

"How do you know she's a girl?"

 

Oh, Jackie boy, I wish you weren't serious. I know at least one or two females IRL with BSN accounts. One of them is my flatmate. I know another with a deviant art account. I know another with who posts on the Skyrim forums, etc. Even if that weren't the case, anyone capable of abstract thought is capable of recognizing that out of the thousands of posters in this forum, some of them have vaginas

 

What you're calling liberal agenda, everyone else is recognizing as a capacity for logic

[Handsome Jack]

What you're calling liberal agenda, everyone else is recognizing as a capacity for logic

 

Equality, tolerance, and forced progression is all part of the Liberal agenda, which was founded off of Marxists who believed they could cripple the empires of the West with Cultural Marxism by forcing a culture of oppression and faux-bigotry that would undermine the powers of the West to make way for the control of the Marxist party, which itself was heavily financed and supported by wealthy capitalists from across the world. As the Empires of the West consisted of a Caucasian majority, Caucasians were targeted. Suddenly everyone forgot that almost every African sold into slavery was sold by their own people who captured them. Suddenly we forgot the Native Americans attempted genocides on each other and scalped children, babies, and women. Suddenly we forgot, and suddenly we were taught to hate anything that could be considered "Non-progressive". Suddenly we get political correctness; suddenly we're forced to tolerate those we don't like; suddenly we get things like "hate speech" and "misogyny". Suddenly men and women are not allowed to speak or think freely, and instead we have to condone with the Liberal idea of political correctness. Your rights end where my feelings begin, and you can be censored and silenced for offending someone.

 

Your "logic" is the stuff of Orwell's nightmares and the darkest fears of Lovecraft.

Following this trend the last game of the franchise will be something  ala disney land.

Yeah, cats and dogs will live together. Mass hysteria.

I couldn't possibly care less about your social concerns. I'm not talking about equality or politics. I will likely never discuss my politics on a bioware forum. That's all your shtick. I'm talking about the hilarious idiocy of your belief that there aren't women posting on this forum. 

 

That's all I'm inclined to care about, Sweets, and only because its so funny

[KaiserShep]

Women have their own internet, much like how cats have their own viewing pictures of us.

Man cannot live on TheBlaze alone.

 

Speaking of which, The Blaze sounds more like a site dedicated to smoking enthusiasts of a certain variety.

[andy6915]

People, stop responding to this Jack person. He's obviously a troll who is enjoying intentionally derailing this thread with his nonsense, stop letting him destroy this thread by letting him derail it. Is it really so hard? Block him or ignore him and move on, he's not worth the time it even takes to hit the quote button.

I thought of "flame on", or is that what you're alluding to?

[Malthier]

Nah, I enjoy myself too much for that 

 

Women are on the forums, Jackie boy. They're aaaaaalll around you. I even got linked up with one female BSN poster on xbox live. We played MP. Women are bleeding everywhere on the BSN. You going around and trying to act tough by telling them that they aren't women? It's the most funny part of your material, but only because it's the part that best shows you for the buffoon that you are. It's my favorite part

 

I'm on like white on...Well, on you

The bits with the Broodmother, and that bit with Connor was pretty damn dark in DA:O. Nothing like it at all in Inquisition. Inquisition feels very PG-13 Michael Bay'ish.

 The broodmother are ridiculous fat monsters and nothing more,and watching Tegan dancing like a fool was the most horrific moment in the franchise, what a bad performance.
