The world is not beautiful: And that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty.

So being a girl makes you fair game for harassment?No, you didn't understand.
The girl attention whores advertised themselves as girls and liked to tell everyone that they were. It's fair game because they advertised themselves as such. Women attention whores know very well what kind of attention being a girl will get them on here, it's an opportunity they take advantage of.
Because being a male on these forums is nothing special it's not something you can attention whore about, so male attention whores aren't going to be harassed in a sexist manner.
But males who brag about their physique and how much -blam!- they get per week get harassed in a very similar fashion. It's about people who want to tell the world that they're different. The world answers back with "we don't care" and the attention whores get all defensive and/or offended.So if I tell people I'm a girl, I deserve to be trashed for being a girl?
Okay!Nice strawman.
If a girl says something along the lines of "give me attention because i play video games, BTW I'M A GIRL, betcha never seen that before", then like what monitor's saying, it's perfectly understandable that people are going to respond with "no one cares" and "stop being an attention whore" and the less than civil variations on "slut".
And the same applies to males, if someone brags about how alpha he is, you'll get the same kind of replies.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, read monitor's damn post with an open mind.
