Many females use a date rape drug on the market called 'Beer.' The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, or from taps and in large 'kegs'. Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women to whom they would normally not be attracted. After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that 'something bad' occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as 'a relationship.' In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as 'marriage.' Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females. If you fall victim to this 'Beer' scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men. For the support group nearest you, just look up 'Golf Courses' in the phone book. hahahaa i'd never read that before, nice | ||

also, what the OP needs to realize is, even though we did not strictly moderate say, Dutch' post about "styles" when picking up women, there was a form of moderation there : ridicule. I laughed out loud when I read his post because it was so incredibly stupid. it didn't offend me, but I certainly didn't think it was "good" or "cool". most people didnt, in fact most people agreed that it was hilariously stupid.. now, maybe you're right in the fact that the 10 commandments makes it seem like we shut down misogyny on the same level as racism. if someone made a thread called "styles when lynching niggers" and wrote about the different ways this could done, he certainly would have been banned and thread closed etc. but well, that would also be on a whole different level of racism than this was on a level of sexism. :p | ||

I know that there are funny jokes and ways in which it is seemingly acceptable to use this language (ie. "bitch, please" etc). On the other hand, it becomes a problem when its not funny, and used innapropriately. Its only there to insult or get a rise out of people. If you are really pissed off about something and call your ex something or other, its a whole other story than constantly referring to women as bitches and hoes. If a comment like, say, the third post in the "styles" thread is unnecesary, irrelevant and offensive I think that there should be some action taken. For the most part, I wanted people to consider language used when talking about women, it makes a negative and insulting environment to the few girls who are here. EDIT: I just wanted people to cool it and think twice before they post something nasty, and obviously my post did little good  | ||

Some of those blog posts are pretty hilarious too - I do agree upon some levels though that as it's a rule here maybe some of the more extreme posts should be put into the closed section - they do add to an atmosphere that might not welcome girl gamers with less liberal senses of humor. I am a tad surprised to see some people on this thread who I consider friends over at IRC making some pretty rude/lacking in constructive thought comments though - that makes me think twice about giving some of them the time of day - especially when I receive so many requests for special photos of gamers/favors/information on a daily basis from people who'd brush off someone's genuine concern (the op.) TBH I'm not angry at them, more ashamed to see grown men behaving in such a childish manner on a forum which is supposed to be for everyone. P.S. That 'no girls on the internet' thing gets so old, so fucking fast. It's the only element of being around here that annoys the hell out of me. | ||

I agree with the OP to a point, there are some times where the joking goes a bit far, but I also realize that it's the internet, people post stupid shit all the time.

Though another thing I've learned is that you can only complain about what you don't like - if you've already earned status in the community that you are trying to "change".

General and blogs have nothing to do with starcraft. You're either a troll or you're very new to the internet. As any forum community, yes you came to join a SC community, but you have to realize that the culture has already been set here. What LM said is right, general and blogs are hardly a place to judge the community. Our community base - I'm assuming - is like 98% male between the ages of 14 and 30. If I was to go into a frat house and demand respect, I'd get laughed at. It's almost the same thing, but to an even higher degree because, well, this is the internet where all the boys posting can hide behind a screen and type the things that they would be too afraid to say in real life. Of course, some of these guys are assholes IRL as well, but that's a whole different story.... I don't condone it, but at the same time... when in Rome... And if you come across a specific post that really really truly offends you, you express your opinion then - to the OP or to a MOD. By making a generalized post or statement will only make you look like a troll and no one will take you seriously. | ||

You should realize that TL is probably comprised of mainly males. I don't visit "Cosmopolitan" communities or sites and complain about all of the women gossiping, cracking jokes about, or slandering men. You shouldn't visit TL and complain about how "macho" the TL atmosphere is. | ||

EDIT: It would be different if I went to male-focused websited and made a fuss. I didn't see a "men only welcome" sign when I first got here. I made my point, some people cracked insulting jokes at me, some people genuinely supported me, I’m not trying to change TL or the whole internet for that matter, you have to understand that I’m not trying to be some sort of feminazi here, i'm just requesting a little discretion | ||
