(( Over the last year, I have had a lot of eye opening experiences and personal conflicts that I’ve had to deal with, some self inflicted and others inflicted upon me, and I’d like to, for a moment, address a few observations I’ve had, and a few lessons learned.

It is amazing to me that someone...

If you don’t see the relation to the way “gamers” treat the women on the web and OUR content in...

This just goes to show how much gender and even biological sex still matter to people even when they don't really know you. If not knowing whether someone in social media is a man or a woman qualifies as being teased to death then it must really bug people when they can't tell and act accordingly. It shouldn't matter. I hope there will be a day when they quit asking and just celebrate all kinds of representations of identity, be it gendered or otherwise.

Do you dress androgonously (my computer is giving me angry red squiggles so sorry if I spelled that wrong or if that's the wrong word >3

Anita Sarkeesian on GamerGate: ‘We Have a Problem and We’re Going to Fix This’ - How a video game fan weathered a misogynist backlash to become pop culture’s most valuable critic

So this is pretty cool, I was interviewed by Rolling Stone today. No biggie.

Here’s a video from our Internetting While Female panel with Carolyn Petit, Katherine Cross and I at GaymerX last week.

I, personally, feel the same way as the original poster and I wouldn't necessarily call it victim shaming. In my case at least, it's not "Abel, why are you such a dumb, naive bitch?" it's "Oh Abel, why did your writer do this to you?" and there's a difference. Even if he ended up giving Cain the benefit of doubt, I would have loved to see a more mindful, aware Abel, but none of it is his fault, it's the author's.

I like Abel, but the way that he seems to have forgotten Cain’s attitude annoys me to no end. Others think that it is good that he has this doubtful loyalty, but to me he comes off as anywhere between naive, blind or outright stupid.
