It does give the impression that there are large numbers of men out there who actually hate women and the internet is allowing us to see them now.

Hate women? Nah. They're great baby making factories who should always be diminutive, demur, and know their place. In fact, who let you out of the kitchen? Make me a sammich!

Zoe Quinn: GamerGate must be condemned

In August, an ex-boyfriend of Ms Quinn published a blog post, that ran to thousands of words, detailing intimate details about their relationship.

The posts detailed that Ms Quinn had had a relationship with a journalist at prominent games site Kotaku - prompting accusations from others she had done so in an attempt to get positive reviews for her game, Depression Quest.
...
"It's terrifying. It sucks to not have any privacy. This has all been so public. It's more scrutiny than a politician faces - it's living with constant fear in a place I called home."
...
Analysis of discussion about GamerGate has indicated that misogynist abuse - and vitriolic messages in general - is not limited to either "side" of the argument.

Journalist Allum Bokhari, a writer for TechCrunch, has said there was credible evidence that at least one well-known trolling group was "working to provoke both sides against each other".
...
"Through a snowball effect of misinformation, trolling, and ideological/emotional bias on both sides, the issue is quickly descending into a quagmire attracting trolls, extremists, and opportunists needlessly stirring the pot of controversy," said one prominent figure who backed GamerGate, but wished to remain anonymous in this article.

Hummmmmmmmmmmm
Started as a lovers quarrel then you use sex, prostitution, as a business strategy and it goes public. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nina-flores/interrupting-the-cycle-of-slut-shaming_b_5832144.html
Is that the facts?

I know of nothing more nasty filthy vile vitriol filled than a lovers quarrel. Ask any cop what call they are most afraid of. So now its public and entire neighborhoods are taking sides. Didn't humans used to fight wars over arranged marriages?

Sad commentary on the human condition.

Name change

Interesting article.

As you know I kept my name when I got married. I kept it because its my name and I wanted to keep it. That should be quite sufficient reason if you ask me.

I can't believe this custom is still taking place.

I fought with the UK passport office in 1968 to keep my own name. They refused, I insisted so they looked in their big book of rules and found an exception for me under Scottish law (being born in Scotland might have helped). I then had a handwritten note in my passport to say I was the wife of so and so and that has a big stamp over it. Did he have the same written in his passport, I don't think so.

I still have my own name and it has made life much easier to claim pensions etc. less paperwork.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) -- With a malevolent laugh, the leader of Nigeria's Islamic extremists tells the world that more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls have all been converted to Islam and married off, dashing hopes for their freedom.

"If you knew the state your daughters are in today, it might lead some of you ... to die from grief," Abubakar Shekau sneers, addressing the parents of the girls and young women kidnapped from a remote boarding school more than six months ago.

I have a cousin who went one better.
She kept her name and he changed his surname to hers.
There were reasons for this, she has qualifications and papers under her name (she's a geneticist), and he didn't like his family much.

Here is a good example of a clash of attitudes:


Manchester ... hotel's images condemned as sexist

Images surrounding building work at a Manchester hotel are "demeaning" to women, a construction body has said.

Kate Lloyd, from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), condemned the ... hoarding as "depressing and highly insulting".

It follows criticism from writer Jeanette Winterson, who compared pictures of a model holding tools to those of "soft-porn babes"...




Healthy or unhealthy?

Marketing and media and role models in stories are likely far more powerful than we realize...

Is this example yet another example of cynically successful headline grab for the sake of cheap advertising at other's expense/discomfort? Really just "a bit of fun"?... Myself, considering such a cynically uncouth manipulative industry, I doubt it...

I would agree that the images (at least the one in the news story) are sexist. Nothing at all wrong with a woman using power tools or being a construction worker.

BUT.........

On that image, the woman appears to be only having black/yellow caution tape covering her... chest. That kind of image needs to GO. Even the one of the man in the hard hat is scantily clad. It seems that the Marketing Mantra 'Sex sells' is being followed WAY too much these days. Both appeal to prurient interest, and both need to go.

Would they use sex to sell if it didn't work?

Some very valid points raised in this report...

Where does one draw the line?

...personally, any man that has to get a woman drunk so that he can have sex is a coward!
