Hi, I just wanted to leave a comment that I do agree with what you have to say in WoW-ladies, but last time I said something similar as what you meant to say, people burned me down and all jumped on me to hear the sound of their .. writing. Well you know what I mean. Things can get hostile on there when you're honestly trying to contribute to a discussion. Women can objectify themselves when they turn to prostitution or, ingame, act like a guild princess to get special treatment. It doesn't say their "customers" aren't wrong, but in the long run, these women are giving the same example and may play their part in these "customers" getting a slanted idea of how they should treat women.
i know 10 year olds that play wow, and i don't want them thinking that some of this behavior we are discussing is appropriate. Even if people are joking, 10 years olds dont get it. women can objectify themselves, that's their own prerogative, but i wish sexist talk would be taken out of trade chat!
yah, i think people do like to hear themselves write. i just put an opinion, and instead of discussing it, they just pointed out the flaws and things i didnt feel i had to explain. but i wasnt in the mood to write a thesis, lol. it's kinda funny, bc i think we all agree on the basic ideas, but instead i got some really rude comments, like "That's great that it's your opinion. It's a bad one." that's pretty judgmental.
i love the discussion provoked by that blog, just wish the commentators could me more polite. i'm gonna keep replying to anyone who comments though, bc i think the more that get's discussed, the better.
Yeah people can be pretty judgemental and I'm not good with that. I had to turn off replies being mailed to me last time and I was really annoyed for days. ;) Hat off to you that you are strong enough to keep replying though!
