Comment On behalf of sensible women.. (Score 1) 428

All right, ENOUGH already! I am thouroughly exasperated with my gender at this moment, and seriously wondering if I could create a new gender, entitled "quasi-female," for those of us who do not have this seemingly gender-specific, obscurely psychological obsession to find grievances committed against women. I can sum up the entire article in two words: GROSS EXAGGERATION. I do not disagree that sex is used often to sell..well, a lot of things. That's correct. But why oh WHY do so many women choose to make such an issue of it?! I don't have the patience to point out all of the incorrect observations in the article, so I am going to focus only on the implication that somehow women are 'driven away,' as it were, from gaming magazines by the sexist ads. I have yet to hurl a magazine to the floor in disgust in response to an ad featuring a scantily-clad, volumptuous woman. A lot of women consider pictures of this kind degrading, and for some reason we blame men for it. Why? I mean, more often than not, when a game ad features an impossibly beautiful, sexy woman character, it also includes a male character with huge, grossly overdeveloped muscles wielding an enormous...ah, WEAPON...who looks like he could take out an entire city with one blast. I have yet to hear any guy complain that he is degraded by this image of male-ness. And I have yet to meet a woman who would't stop to gaze at such a vision. Let's face it, girls, we accuse, but we are just as guilty, so why don't you just drop it and enjoy being human, for a change? Most of us would not simply stop reading a magazine due to sexist ads, and to put it quite frankly, any girl who would has serious issues. I recommend counseling. IMMEDIATELY.
