@lcrava By special protections you must be referring to the lack of equal pay to men (http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2013/02/14/gender-pay-gap-wider-2012-and-its-great-for-women/)?

And by equal rights regarding rape, do you mean feminists want men to be raped as much as women are? Because we don't. We actually don't want anyone to be raped, ever, and we want all victims to be taken seriously. Being raped more often isn't a right, in case you didn't notice (according to RAINN, 9 of every 10 victims are women http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assault-victims).

You're point about women not being the only group targeted for abuse online is very true. Which is why many feminists support all equality: gender, racial, religious, ect. Unfortunately, women are a group that is targeted for harassment and abuse both online and off, which is a problem.

Leaving problems intact is a silly approach. There's a problem with this industry (you and people like you) and that needs to change. We don't have to settle for being treated poorly, we have every right to stand up for ourselves and demand the same respect that everyone should be receiving. If YOU don't like that, then YOU can find another hobby/job.

Women suffer the same abuse around the world. Women are the number one discriminated group IN THE WORLD. So your argument that women in Africa and the Middle East suffer from "real abuse" is absurd. Women everywhere experience real abuse and that is nothing to make light of. I would also like to see some facts to back up your arguments. You seem to be saying a lot of things that don't seem entirely accurate, so I would be curious what reliable sources you're obtaining your information from.

Also, feminist is defined as "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feminist). You are clearly very anti-feminist. What exactly is your problem with gender equality? Why do you feel it's necessary for both men and women to suffer by discriminating against women (and yes, men suffer from a lack of equality as well, this isn't just to improve conditions for women)? I'd be curious to know why you have such an issue with considering women your equals.

@Shanks_D_Chop @darthdandelion I said "many of the commenters below and many male gamers." Note the "and". You see, I was saying that many (not all, not most, many: as in a significant enough number of individuals to cause a problem) of the commenters as well as many (again, many, not most or all) male gamers. So there's no need to reign anything in because there wasn't actually anything wrong with what I said.

And I made sure to say many (not most, not all, not the majority, just a large enough group that's creating problems for others) because I know a lot of really awesome male gamers and would never include them in that group of "wankers" (as you called them :p).

So, how about YOU reign it in a bit. Thanks for playing :)

@lcrava Being punched in the mouth by a dude is part of the reason many feminists (you spelled it wrong by the way ;) want equality. Just look up information on domestic abuse.

The comments are more enlightening than this documentary will probably be. Guys complaining about a film that might make them out to be sexist pigs, while acting like sexist pigs. Oh, I love me some irony.

Now, boys, get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich! Go wash my socks! Go get gang raped! Show me your picture, because if you're ugly I want to comment on it and if you're hot I want to accuse you of being a fake! But you're probably fat anyway, so I really don't care that you won't show me your picture. Don't worry about the gaming industry being only for girls, maybe if you were a better "gamer/developer/insert status here" you'd actually be able to succeed. This is a girls club, we don't want boys ruining it for us. Hey, if you don't like being groped, harassed, or discriminated against, then go somewhere else! Tough luck that all the male characters need to be half naked and rescued by girl characters, that's the way we like it! Stop being such a chauvinazi! Be happy that we think men are sexy and treat them as nothing but sex objects for whatever fantasy we want to act out on them (even though you don't want us to), it should be a compliment!

What kind of a jerk would say stuff like that? Oh wait...many of the commenters below and many male gamers. Thanks to the men who aren't *insert expletive here*! Respect goes a long way for either gender :)
