This is definitely a good to remind everyone about what girlhood entails in the Western/English-speaking world. First some articles on games and then some general articles: Games for Girls? - http://thehussingtonpost.blogspo

The existence of bias isn't an "irrational" thing to believe in; in fact it's provable through science, and has been in an innumerable amount of cases (websearch "bias study"; if you want, I have access to univ

"Silly" "unprofessional" and such is all relative. I think identification and resistance to the social condition called patriarchy is legitimate, demonstrates a clear understanding, and would reflect neutrally if not pos

Libel is a legal term. Can you point to a specific instance of speech from Ellis that you are talking about? I think the truth of a statement matters in libel laws in the U.S., but I'm not a lawyer. You disregard the possiblity that El

It's not vital, it's irrelevant entirely. She is not to blame for failing to stop his pattern of actions. If you don't understand this you can websearch "Victim-blaming" and you will find a lot of material to read.

Believing women about male violence they have experience is not "extreme", given the historical record and the facts of statistics. I would say that you know this already.

Twitter in this case is being used as a platform to make information public, as letters (including anonymous ones) to newspapers for hundreds of years. I don't see the difference that makes one less legitimate than the other, could you

Thanks, this is what I was trying to say, but without words like "oppressed" and "patriarchy" because most of my fellow men don't understand what these words mean or deny the reality the that they refer to.

"If that argument was blocked, they would come up with a different argument." And? What difference does it make? If we disarmed and abolished nuclear weapons, we'd use non-nuclear weapons, but that says nothing about the legi

Does "telling someone they look good in a bikini" characterize the situation at hand? I really don't think so. I think it would be hard to categorize social events as potentially creating a bad environment or not. A different
