^ The last couple threads dealing with ladies in the SC2 scene has brought out the sexists in the community. It's been pretty enlightening how far we have to go.

It's sad she is so hard on herself. The couple times she played in GSTL it was clear she cared a lot. Good Luck Eve!

How about tossgirl losing to Greg? Naturally emotional creatures man (pun intended because there are a lot of examples of the boys not being too thrilled about losing either). You need to have that killer instinct.

To be fair, how many players play 2 pro games, don't stream or cast and have farewell threads dedicated to them?

Still found some of the comments ridiculous mind.

the community should not be generalized as sexist based on the comments of a select few. eve has received as much positive attention as she has negative attention, but to focus on the latter is destructive.

I am not trying to fan flames but how is SC2 NOT a mans world, not sure why that is so offensive. Its like 99.99% male.

'It's a man's world' kind of infers that it is a natural state of affairs, or is some kind of unchangeable, immutable law of nature. Saying 'it's an activity largely populated by men' is more neutral.

I always wondered why so many people try to attest social issues to deep, abstract things like society/culture, or the human psyche. Female oppression is soley from one reason-- physical inferiority. Look at the world around you. Strong animals prey on weaker ones. Hell, look at our history. Men have suffered a hell of a lot worse things from other men that women have.

People try to find an explanation for murder, or war, or oppression, anything else, but if you just look at life itself you'll find your answers. We are no more different than lions. We kill, mate, eat, and die. It's how it's been since the dawn of life, and it's how life will continue to be. A few people in developed countries try to find the root of humanities problems and the answers to what they deem as barbaric, while the world around them burns. Life is violent chaos, where the weak die or are manipulated, and the strong live until they meet someone stronger.

A "scholarly" approach will do nothing to change the nature of life.

"All you people and your skooling and your fancy educations trying to understand the world through your books and the writings of people you never met. I look out my window and see facts. Women be smaller than me, they cry more and they don,t know how to change a tire. That's all the proof I need to know that women don't like to play hard video games."

Ladies who traffic TL, this it not who we are. Don't take him seriously.
