This is so absurd. There is absolutely nothing sexist about this statement unless you WANT it to be sexist. If a woman said this, would it be sexist? No. But a man saying it would make it so. What if a female programmer said "something your Dad can use"? Would she be sexist and ageist also?
Probably not. I'm a left-of-center guy, but I'm so sick of this politically correct bullshit coming out of left field. The complete inability to understand that not everyone is thinking of the broad, social contexts of oppression everytime they utter a statement.
You KNOW WHAT HE MEANT when he said that statement, but in the typical, annoying trait unique to yuppie white assholes, you seek to distance yourself from a heritage of being an oppressor by constantly pointing out racism/sexism/ageism. It's a game, and it doesn't matter whether what you are pointing at is REAL, AND AFFECTS SOMEONE, it just matters that you score your points to prove to the professional victim class that you're not one of the bad guys, even though you look like one.
Please, feel free to protest the JIF peanut butter slogan: "Choosy moms choose JIF". But no, there isn't an organized professional victims organization around single dads, so nobody will be protesting that, because why would you? There are no points to score.
Newsflash: Your parents and grandparents were probably racist bigots like every other cracker in this country. Your game does nothing to help. A woman who is being denied a promotion at work because of her gender will get zero help from your bullshit game. She will instead be hurt by it, because of the "crying wolf" that idiots like you do for your game that causes eye-rolling in 95% of the population.

- derleth 13y agoFuck you and anyone who uses the concept of social justice as a hammer to try and silence people they disagree with. That is another serious barrier to actually solving any of these problems.
- JPKab 13y agoSocial justice as a hammer is exactly the idiocy I was pointing at. Nitpicking a comment taken out of context as an affront to an oppressed group is exactly that.
