Feminism and Gaming

Wow, you don't see how sexist you are, do you?

Regarding men: "Sorry but that's not ever going to change. Get over it."

Regarding women: "Is there a way we can change things..."

If men can excuse behaviors by just saying Sorry, get over it, then so can women.

Excuse me for a few moments while I savor the irony of a devout follower of a deeply sexist religion calling me sexist.

While I'm away, you can reflect on a few choice passages of scripture which serve to explain why Christianity has been and still largely is a deeply paternalistic religion:

1 Corinthians 14:34 Women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak.

1 Timothy 2:11-12 A woman should learn in silence and full submission. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must keep silent.

Ephesians 5:22-23 Wives, be submissive to your husbands as to the Lord, since as Christ is head of the Church, so is the husband the head of his wife.

1 Corinthians 11:8-9 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.

1 Corinthians 11:3 I want you to understand that the head of woman is man.

And what Jesus had to say about people in glass houses throwing stones:

Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

OK, now that I'm back, I'll address your accusation. I was asking a question about something that makes women feel uncomfortable and if there was something that can be done to help. This is possibly something that CAN be changed, which is why I asked. As opposed to what CAN'T be changed and even there I discussed how to work within that framework to address legitimate concerns women have.

It is somewhat evocative of that cliched Christian serenity prayer:

Lord give me the courage to change what I can, the serenity to accept what I can't and the wisdom to know the difference.

Do be careful in the future before throwing around incendiary accusations like "sexist", "racist" and "bigot" lest you embarrass yourself again.
