Still Not Wanted: Girl Geeks
A collection of angry-making links. But the comments are GOLD (though there's a couple trolls towards the end.) Lots of discussion of games and which ones let you play female characters and so forth. This comment caught my attention though:
I got Skate2 and you can choose to play as a man or woman... But if you choose a woman, you get a "gender bender" achievement, because obviously a woman wouldn't play it so you must be trans or gay... And, even when you created a female character, all the dialogue still referred to you in the masculine!
Just... what the fuck? WHY? Does the game reward you "gender bender" points for other stuff too?!
Also, the American Medical Association did not adopt Resolution 710 (A-09): Identifying Abusive, Hostile or Non-Compliant Patients today. Which is good. Somehow I still feel like throwing up though. I think it might be reading about forced C-sections that did it.
