this thread is just lol

you are lol

I dont care if im lol but this thread made my laugh so much its a game no one cares if you male or female

If no one cares, why do guys (the kind who like women) always make it such a huge deal when women play? Why do guys need to be grateful that we're online? Why do guys ask for pics, automatically send us friend invites, bash us for being women (instead of how we play the game), call us names and say things I would press sexual harassment charges for if we were in person? Not a big deal? It's a huge deal. The idea of female gamers is so eroticized in many males' eyes! How dare we decide we don't want to play with men? That's what most of you who hopped on here saying this thread is "wrong" for. Most of you have never been intentionally left out of something because of your gender besides the women's bathroom. This chat isn't to "return the favor" because I hate all males. I don't. I also don't care about you guys that are butt hurt over it. Like I said before, this thing is already male dominated, so why would you want to create an all-male space? I'm sure the ladies wouldn't mind if guys joined the chat if we knew many of you weren't drooling for the chance. Check your privilege kids.
Don't think it exists, let's ask some questions (that I'll shape to gaming) to see if you have gender privilege. I don't need to know which ones are true for you.

If I cost my team a game, you can bet that neither them nor the other team will blame it on my gender.

While playing with random groups of people (75-100% male), I am far less likely to face harassment of any kind than the average female gamer.

My gaming ability won't be assumed because of my sex.

I don't get asked on a regular basis for a picture of myself.

I can expect to not be asked for my number or personal information while gaming online without showing interest.

I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a *****, *****, skank, or other derogatory words society assumes to be descriptions of females "who've done something wrong".

When I'm gaming online, I don't have to think about my gender or worry about having my mic on.

I'm not eroticized.

When I join a squad, party, or enter a game lobby, I don't have to worry about someone making a big deal about my entrance into it because of my sex.

I could continue, but I think this should be enough for folks to get the picture. Someone said no segregation. Well don't blame my desire to start this chat on me. I'm not the one making a big deal about males playing video games. I want some peace. I want to be a person playing a game. An individual. A human. I want to celebrate being a woman in my own way without being eroticized and guys haven't even seen what I look like! Don't even know my sexuality...

Shooter wasn't being sexist. He was just saying that females shouldn't be treated differently by guys, just because they're females. Maybe he said that for the wrong reasons but he was at least agreeing with you. To be honest, I dislike the way guys treat females in this game sometimes. It is just immature and stupid.

As for why guys like girls that play video games; people like people that have some similarities with them. For example, the most popular girls in my school are not the most attractive ones. They are the ones that do sports. That is because guys in my school really like sports and when a girl can relate to them, it is a plus. I blame peoples blatant crudeness on here, on the arm-chair commando thesis. That is that people tend to disregard others' feelings when they cannot see how they are impacting them. Same reason no one will come up to you randomly and call you the f word but won't care if they say it on the internet.

Valencia Ishtar Les Loups 13	Posted - 2013.03.19 16:06:00 - [1] - Quote I was meaning to post this a week ago. Anyways, there are now 2 channels for women only. I created one of them and the other is by Bunny Wink. Anyways, send me a message in game if you want the channel names/pass. I will need to verify that you're not a creepy dude, so I'll probably send you a squad invite or have you send me one to square that away. I'm excited though! :)

Most channels are already male only. Not always by intention, but attitudes/actions towards women produce a male-only space.... O.o

Best of luck and hope it turns out good, New Eden needs more nice places for the girls edit/regarding "not a creepy dude" what about the non-creepy ones? /c lol When I said "creepy" I meant the dudes who don't actually identify as female, but just want to be in the channel to be creepers. I don't think I've run across creepers in LFSquad, but that's because they're all looking for a squad.

The difference between sexism and feminism is that sexism was formed to separate men and women based on the idea that "men are better than women", while feminism is based on the idea that "women are equal to men". It's not sexist that I've created a separate channel for women. I did it because I'm tired of males coming on to me in-game because I am a female, acting like I have to be waaaay better (or a lot freaking worse) than them because I am a female, calling me foul words and saying I belong in a kitchen because I am a female, [I could continue this list] and I believe other women feel my pain. PLEASE let me know NOW that males get this same ** online and I will delete my channels. I'm not saying all males are douche bags, a-holes, stupid, or any other negative thing. I care about too many people to ever generalize any of them. I'm not saying all females are saints either (**, I'm not and I know too many who aren't). I just want to get to the comradeship part without being eroticized. I don't expect every woman to be heterosexual because I'm not, but I do expect to be respected since I'm giving that same respect. Female gamers give me that regardless of sexuality.
