Hey guys (and I mean actual dudes here), please do society a favor and read [url=http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/23/5640678/playing-with-privilege-the-invisible-benefits-of-gaming-while-male]this[/url]. Keep it in mind when you meet women who play games.
As a guy and a feminist, I'd be glad to discuss this article and what it means for us with any reasonable person. For all the haters, try to learn something new or move along.

I see you forgot a hashtag. For posts relating how to treat gamers you should always use #IDontGiveAShit

tl;dr: if you have a dissenting opinion, you are a "hater", and thus are not "reasonable", and not "doing society a favour".

FemiNazis don't deserve rights.

Why you do dis

So what you're saying is.. It's not polite for me to keep yelling "TITS OR GTFO" when I play with Camm? Well son of a bitch..

As a girl I hate feminism. You dont need to try amd immasculate men to prove yourself. I dont need to compete genders with anyone because each gender is great in it's own way. Wouldn't it be great if everyone just stopped posting threads about "female" gamers? Were just gamers. Period. Any girl who wants to be treated differently or draw attention to the fact that she is different than the guys and or better is just perpetuating the "battle of the sexes" that really shouldnt exist. My gender has absolutely nothing to do with this video game or any video game. Please people- stop trying to make it a "thing".

Well, I'm sure this post will teach everyone the dos and don'ts of gaming with the owner of a vagina. How about just play the game and don't be a dickhead. You'll be surprised at the amount of people who may find your company enjoyable.

Do you mean a actually female gamer or a 13 year old with a girl character that sounds like a little squeaky girl and pretends to be a girl.

Can one of my manly privileges be getting an automatic TL;DR for lengthy articles? Maybe then based on an extremely small piece of information I could formulate a very controversial opinion.

I'm a girl and I'm against feminism. I think it sends the wrong message. I don't want to treat a girl like a princess. I want to treat her like everyone else.

There's a mute and block button for reasons and you play online at your own risk and choice. If you can't take what people say then you can get offline, mute the harrassers, or block them. Its a simple solution that people over look.

I saw "playing with" in the site name. [spoiler]disappointed[/spoiler]

I don't get why people label guys gamers, then label label females, gamer girls, a gamer is a gamer. To me they are just like any other player that I need to win against.

Don't bother clicking the link, there's absolutely no porn on that website. Very disappointed.

I'm going to marry a feminist and make her mow the lawn.

Just going to leave this here.

Im all for femenists. You want to treat men and women equal? Be my guest! Lets just get that law prohibiting women to register for the selective service and get them on the front lines!

For the love of Odin, why is this thread so common? The Flood wasn't so autistic back in my day.

This is why I disassociate myself with people like you. You act like there are only the people who agree with you, and everyone else is a "hater".

Feminism, biggest joke. "We should be able to wear what we want without being harassed" Guy who landed a probe on a comet gets slammed by feminist for the shirt he was wearing. #manspreading even being a thing is laughable. Denying the rights for equal chances of having ownership over your children on a divorce scenario. #heforshe but there being no #sheforhe #notallmen being a thing made up by feminist to laugh and ridicule "all men" who say that while #notallwomen is a serious thing. What ever the fùck gamer gate is. (Seriously what the noble actual) Can't body shame women but you can ridicule men about their penis size. Feminist trying to make it a law that you can't talk shit about feminism Changing the meaning of "friend zoning" which went from a female using a guy to get what she wants, making him think he had a chance to making themselves the victim in the matter (they're good at making themselves the victim in any circumstances) So don't you -blam!-ing sjws and white knights tell me that feminism is about "equality".
