The 25 Invisible Benefits of Gaming While Male

This woman is countering the stupid argument that men have special benefits because we are male while playing games. You've got to watch this video this woman posted. She is awesome! If you haven't watched the original video it was a bunch of dumb ass men trying to be SJWs on behalf of woman. It made me want to puke. Here is the video she is talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47-FMmMLy0

  • Her points are honestly awful. They are either ignoring the fact that people say that women have to do something solely because they are women, or it's trying to justify the existence of the stereotypes. Now, I do [u]not [/u]agree with a lot of Sarkeesian's/Feminist Frequency's philosophies or ideas, but this woman's arguments against them are freaking terrible. I don't care whether or not this started out as a "boy's club" or not. The fact of the matter is that women shouldn't be doubted/harassed/shunned/forced to prove themselves simply because they are women and some people [b]do[/b] do that/make that happen. Also, women want to be represented/catered to in games because there is a growing audience. Women won't be able to find more games that they enjoy if all the games are geared toward men. Not all women like what the woman in the video likes. The point FF was trying to make was that women who don't like what men do would like to have more choices for games. That, in itself, isn't bad. Adding more variety isn't inherently bad. It only becomes bad when you start saying what men want is unacceptable (which FF does which is why I don't like them... at all). So, yeah, Sarkeesian/FF sucks, but so does this random.
