Topic	I was someone that disliked Anita Sarkeesian

There is a lot of feminist theory that, as a feminist myself, I would roll my eyes at. Hell at the time, 4th-wave/Post feminism had its own niche carved out with hypersexualization. So I wouldn't inherently dub sexualization and violence as masculine, but I do see the arguments that masculinity and the systems upholding it so trend towards promoting violence and sex. Definitely other systems surrounding it and I'm much more interested in how capitalism is propagating these issues than cultural trends alone. There's definitely room for discussion. I find Sarkeesian's takes to be reductive and shallow ultimately. It doesn't really help she's actually really, really bad with genuine critique. Even people responding in an academic matter to her points. --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:984938588] in I was some...
