Invariably such refutations fixate on the specific examples chosen by Sarkeesian and go on to make flawed arguments like e.g. (paraphrasing):
> Violence against women in XYZ is not problem because XYZ also features violence against men!
Which is completely besides the point and ignores the societal context into which these games are released. Other common "critiques" leveled against Sarkeesian, that I've seen anyway, are straight up strawmen. These include gems like she's in favour of censorship or that she argues games have the ability to directly manipulate people into violence or sexism.
Innuendo Studios recently posted a great analysis of this phenomenon in their "Why Are You So Angry?" video series. It's really well done and worth checking out:

The OP reads just like an Angry Jack.
