Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Here's something very simple that you could do, but refuse to: stop telling sexist jokes.
Yeah, because the solution is to just tell people not to do something. Why would I stop doing something I enjoy? I enjoy sexist jokes. Problem?

Absolutely. That's why there's so few women here.Please, tell me how the Flood pushes women away by being bigots and sexists. Care to provide examples? How many threads do you see where Floodians post their opposition towards females or female users? The only threads I ever see are those that jay has created herself.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Just because a female enjoys gaming, how does that make her any more special compared to the rest of her gender? Why do she deserve to be harassed or even praised for that matter, over one little interest?

It doesn't, it's because there are far more male hardcore gamers than females, so when you do find someone that is part of the minority, they'll get some attention.

I'm not saying I agree with this, I'm telling you how it is.

There are millions of females out in the world. I don't understand why it's such a big deal if some of them play video games or do anything else for that matter.

General demographic of the hardcore gamers, that's why.


That's silly.

Boobs


There's tons of them out there. Just go outside, the world is FULL of them. I don't see how a "girl gamer" is anymore superior to a regular girl or the other way around.

You seem to think that the only way women can be made uncomfortable in communities like this is if people explicitly say "I do not like women and think that they should not be here". That's not the case.

Well that depends largely on the quality of the boobs. Some saggy mcfloopys could ruin an otherwise fun gaming experience.

I know how it is. I'm just pointing out it's silly when a girl goes online and she's treated like a celebrity, I mean really? They're not an extinct species, and that's exactly why this whole "girl gamers are attention whores" stereotype came about in the first place.

If the male gamers would just ignore or treat female gamers like any other gamer, those girls who go online just for attention wouldn't be around nor would people make such a fuss over gender.

MFW I read this post. Did you just equate my unwillingness to raping a child? The difference is that not having sex with children is enforced by law. Do you think that there should be a law against me telling jokes? Boy I hope you don't watch comedy shows.

You seem to think that the only way women can be made uncomfortable in communities like this is if people explicitly say "I do not like women and think that they should not be here". That's not the case.I'm sorry, I'm looking for examples showing that women have refused to come onto b.net because of the sexism. Examples or gtfo with this argument.

So the only reason people shouldn't have sex with children is because it's against the law...?

I'm sorry, I'm looking for examples showing that women have refused to come onto b.net because of the sexism. Examples or gtfo with this argument.

Do you expect me to have an archive of instances of sexism and misogyny or something?

No, they shouldn't have sex with children because children can't give consent and that's called -blam!-. Do you think people should be allowed to -blam!- anyone they want? Is that your argument because I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish with this argument.

Do you expect me to have an archive of instances of sexism and misogyny or something?I expect you to back up a claim you make about the Flood shying women away from being sexist. If the Flood is as sexist as you say, it should be no problem for you to find examples, should it?

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.
