The author sets up so many strawman arguments, I wonder whether he has bothered to engage with the Sarkeesian et al. in the way he's imploring journalists to engage with GamerGaters. For example, that journalists/society make all women out to be paragons of virtue: > I’ve seen how women can treat each other, and can put my hand on my heart and say I’ve generally seen IRL women being much nastier to other women than I’ve EVER seen a man being to a woman. Let’s not paint women as some saintly figures incapable of doing any wrong. This is the root of all our problems here. Or when he accuses some of those same figures of wanting to keep vile comments coming: > ...another example was a photo of them laughing at dumb trolls tweets on their phones in a bar, not an opportunity was spared to say ‘fuck you’ and rattle the bear cage to keep the abuse train running. This is not what someone who wants the abuse to stop does.
