btw not all video games are sexist
Ok, nice. What is your opinion on Anita Sarkeesian and her work? Have you seen her tropes vs women in video games or "women as background decoration"? This thread is about that. Not about the things you mention. This isn't a thread about aviation pilots. It's about an individual called Anita Sarkeesian and her project Feminist Frequency who does videos about computer/video games. Nobody here who knows what "on topic" means? Or as I guess too difficult a topic to answer, because lack of courage. |

3:47 into the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47-FMmMLy0 "25 Invisible Benefits of Gaming While Male" If I choose to point out sexism in gaming, my observations will not be seen as self-serving, and will therefore be perceived as more credible and worthy of respect than those of my female counterparts, even if they are saying the exact same thing. 08:12 into the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah8mhDW6Shs "Anita Sarkeesian, Feminist Frequency - XOXO Festival (2014)" Once a cascade reaches a critical mass it no longer matters what the facts are. It becomes a viral meme And also this You know you can complain as much as you want but the woman is damn right about one thing. Once rumors are allowed to spread about you on the internet no matter how false, no matter how unfounded and no matter how easy to disprove they become 'fact' in the eyes of people who want to hate you. That's why we now have over 11,000 people all trying to either get her fired from a job she doesn't have or demanding people ignore the things she says based on false quotes made up specifically to try to discredit her. |

This is my last message addressing people trying to derail, slander or just spam the thread. You will have a PM as a reply to your posting which I thought was offtopic/whatever.
If you disregard women and make them feel more unwelcome you are just making Bitcoin a more closed community, a male-only community.(that's an agenda)
That would be the extremest form of segregation, just telling the world that you are all about not letting more people know or learn about Bitcoin because of your personal self-restricting reasons.
If you can't laugh at yourself then you have a serious problem.
By the way. I can also make colorful lines, grass is green, the sky is blue. I don't see it that you are any kind of inventor of them.(they are just markup on this forum glow=blue,2,300[]/glow[])
If you can make trolls put me on ignore or just actively discourage them from posting here you are doing bitcointalk.org and Bitcoin a big favor. Thank you!
Here's the blue line by the way. Interpret it as you prefer. Maybe it means that the thread actually starts after the blue line and that everything that was posted as a reply before the red line was just trolling. Or maybe it means that all trolls should take a shower(blue would then mean water) to clean them of all 'evil sexism', or maybe it doesn't mean anything just like a red line only means being a red line, duh.
After turning on ignore I see no red line no more. The thing with the line was actually quite useful. It keeps(or was supposed to prevent...) people from spamming this thread.

TCM, stop filling this thread with more shit. I have put you on ignore and I advice anybody else who want to follow this thread to do the same. Time to ignore people who only want to derail the thread.
It's like you go on a topic about Bitcoin and you start talking about Litecoin. You can't behave, go elsewhere. There's something you would like me to know, send me a PM. Don't reply to me here. Send me a PM, don't use this as an excuse to get your post count up.
If you feel you can't stay on-topic, put me on ignore please. We'll get rid of the Ad Hominems and can actually focus on the topic. The best would be to just leave the thread alone. Focus on the stuff you are good at and actually interested in(instead of jumping in on threads which you are just casually against, but genuinely not interested in)

Not only is it sexism(your favourite topic seems to be talking about genitals) TECSHARE but your stupid and irrelevant focus on my person. You are the main source of Ad Hominem in this thread.

They first claim it's hard to find any women at the inside bitcoins conference in Vegas (~500 to 1,000 people) but they proceed to find an astonishing 10 women!  haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFHbXSnNkXUpay special attention @ 4:57: "It all started on the bitcointalk forum"  Youtube removed your video: This video is unavailable.
Sorry about that.
Your video was removed. Don't you have a backup anywhere? |

NOT because you happen to have been born with a vagina
That's sexism. How is that sexism? You'll find out about that after looking at your own sexist comment Fuck Feminazis

This is quite possible one of the best written arguments I've seen. I have to quote this and remember these facts. I am not for feminism, I am for gender equality, and what you said about the 50% really sums it up. Thanks for sharing
By CoinMode doing a strawman argument against what Anita says? He/she doesn't even post references. So is this what it is like to be a member of the Bitcoin community? To post nonsense not backed up by anything? |

-1/10. Keep trying.
Am I "trolling" because you can't control your own behavior by spamming this thread with nonsense? This is your first participation in this thread which is genuine trolling. Fuck Feminazis

https://blog.torproject.org/blog/solidarity-against-online-harassmentAt least the Tor project can defend people("especially women who speak up online") being harassed against abusive people. Tor is also a good tool if you are harassed. Satoshi didn't implement Tor for stupid reasons. I only asked in the thread if anybody was interested in Anita Sarkeesian's work. You didn't need to post, and you certainly didn't need to rant Ad Continuum since me speaking shouldn't make you feel that you must scream that you think that Anita is bad just because she asked for donations. Oh well, she's a woman. That's why you overreacted. Also I typed words here, that's also why you overreacted. If you really want to do something then open a fund for Jordan Owen 42 or Aurini or something. I think you should put me on your ignore list because I don't think your mind can process much of Bitcoin community diversity, but is rather limited to the "we are a Bitcoin boys club" mantra.

Why must we jump from sexism to feminsim ?
In truth both are radical extreme behaviours, rage of the beast.
Please take a hint from previous posts and take your time to research the things you claim before posting in this thread. I thought the consensus that was formed by those interested in the thread is that don't post if you have no interest in the thread. Women's right to vote has it's roots in feminism. I don't know if it caught your attention. Sexism is about discriminating people based on what gender they are and in the more modern world also based on what gender they identify with and it is generally considered bad, unless you of course consider it something worth doing. I suggest you just do some research on the issue. If somebody told you that your eyes will bleed or that your brain will be mindcontrolled by aliens after reading and learning more about what feminism is then they are lying  Jokes aside, learning more about the issue can do no harm. Sourced from Feminist activists campaign for women's rights such as in contract law, property, and voting while also promoting bodily integrity, autonomy, and reproductive rights for women. Feminist campaigns are generally considered to be main force behind major historical societal changes, particularly in the West, where it they a near-universally credited with having achieved women's suffrage, gender neutrality in English, equal pay for women, reproductive rights for women (including access to contraceptives and abortion), and the right to enter into contracts and own property.[7] Some feminists have worked to protect women and girls from domestic violence, sexual harassment, and sexual assault.[8][9] They have also advocated for workplace rights, including maternity leave, and against forms of discrimination against women. Feminism is mainly focused on women's issues, but author bell hooks and others have argued that, since feminism seeks gender equality, it must necessarily include men's liberation because men are also harmed by sexism and gender roles. I hope that spelling mistake in the quote doesn't attract grammar trolls. Instead you can do something constructive like correcting that. If you are afraid of Wikipedia that's a good start to make an edit on. This is not directly related to Anita Sarkeesian but as the thread title says "Feminist Frequency" which is the project created by Anita Sarkeesian and your misinformed "in truth they are" without researching facts. |

Who is doing this jump and what has this to do with Anita Sarkeesian? What do you think about her and her projects? Did you see the 25 Invisible Benefits of Gaming While Male video? |

third wave feminism
fourth wave feminism Feminists who currently advocate for a fourth-wave of feminism believe the circulation of feminist issues rely on social media technology for communicating and organizing their activism efforts. It's defined by technology: tools that are allowing women to build a strong, popular, reactive movement online. Even better. Much respect for you and what you believe in. None for anita the fraud... Maybe extend the congrats to Jonathan McIntosh and the crew?

Today I'm posting about the progress going on for helping TimOfLegend understand more about Bitcoin. I'm sending $5 worth of BTC. TimOfLegend/Tim Schafer asked about how Bitcoin works a while back. We'll see if he has any time to experiment with it. |

mailmansDOGE yes, Anita Sarkeesian in CryptocurrenciesNow the only next step is to ask Tim Schafer. Yes, I've taken up the task to teach her about the underlying Cryptography. So to stay at least ontopic on Bitcoin(yes it's called bitcointalk.org): Can anybody with knowledge tell me what Proof-of-work system is used in Bitcoin and what is required from Public-key cryptography to transfer Bitcoin from one place to another one? (A. Elliptic curve B. Digital signature, C. Merkle Tree or D. Blockchain?) Searching Bitcoin wikis is allowed I'm not really sure how Bitcoin works.... but I do know that you can now use it to buy the Double Fine Humble Bundle! http://www.humblebundle.com/This is the only tweet I can find of TimOfLegend which is related to Bitcoin. |

Joe Russ didn't want the Bitcoin. The project is long over. I will probably get the finished product on Humble Bundle with my Bitcoin anyway so... |
