Do not be feminist
Comment has been collapsed.
It's beyond obvious that you do have a problem with her post, given your spam, the fact you have said that you actually refused to read the opening post and instead decided to make up a really wanky strawman, and you consider womens right to choose how to dress 'a problem'.
Do not be a septic baby.

Oh really?
And to think you responded like that, when I was trying to discuss how your behavior runs counter to the issues men face.
Two key excerpts for you to consider : "Having a vagina no more makes a person responsible for misandry than having a penis makes a person responsible for misogyny. Showering people with puerile accusations based on their sex is EXACTLY the thing you were claiming that men are a victim of. You were acting as a total mirror image of the thing you claim to hate, and without a single grain of irony."
"Take a step back, breathe deep, and really look into the subject if you actually care about it. Anger is a great fuel for change, but be careful because it is also great fuel for prejudice. Even the most blatantly vile racists believe on some level that they themselves are the victims and that they are simply 'telling a hard truth that nobody wants to hear', and that their behavior is just a natural reaction to being wronged. Consider how (actual) SJW-ism was born from a movement whose original goal was to challenge prejudice and level the playing field. The genuine 'SJW' types became that way because they placed their own anger on a higher level than their desire to foster progress, and as a result they ended up instead breeding poisonous and sometimes openly passive-racist / passive-sexist / passive-ableist values as a result."

I am saying that both side are in fault in this you getting what I am saying?? . i am telling them to fix the problem form their side and we try to fix mens problem form our side is that hard to understand ?

Actually, yes, it is very hard to understand given your use of language and your constant fixation on insisting all women are blaming men, which is an entirely different thing. :U
Also, you consider adult women dressing as they wish (within legal boundaries) to be a 'problem'. It is not.
Unless of course you are okay with the idea of calling women-on-men violence okay, depending on how the man was dressed?
Then again, you previously said that rape victims deserve it depending on how they dress, so I'm just wasting my fucking time here \:3/

I said it it part of the problem that they need to fix it we cant do anything about that but for men side when women cover themselves we can help them out and standing up for them but when they have bad clothing it give me message that they want to get catcalled .. I cant help them at all in that case they asking mens to help them on this i telling her this is one option that we can help on the other option are all about laws and government .

And what if when a woman sees a sleeveless jacket, she gets the message that he wants to be assaulted, so punches him in the throat a few times. Would her logic of "he was asking for it" be justified, just because it was her opinion? And everyone would be unable to help the guy, because 'she felt it was right'?
Because I can tell you right now sunshine, I think the way you make comments on forums is 'just asking for' a turbo-wedgie.

Wonder where you live to get so much attention. I mean, it's hardly such social culture anywhere now to get "catcalled" at least once a day except for perhaps caucasian or arabic contries/places. Regardless, you can't change the mass attitude of people around you just by making a thread on a gaming forum, nor those who do such thing would even read it here (or reconsider in case they happened to).

Support is way too lenient when it comes to shitposters. So community is not able to policy themselves, as we used some time ago. It was enough to say "stop being racists" and people were stopping this pointless spam. And now they go on days-long trolling feasts before support decides it's not ok anymore and suspend them. Also community is bigger, so they feel safer.
Just browse few last pages to see gamebaby shitposting. They should be suspended (again) long ago, not just now. Sure, now suspension is for 2 weeks, but what when they return in 2 weeks and start this shitfest again? Will they be quickly perma-suspended for their 3rd strike? Or not?

support is understaffed again.
take a look at the users page, there's 16 moderators and 5 have been away for at least some days, and from the remaining 11, 4 don't even post in the forums.

I know, and I wrote on few occasions already that we need at least 2x more support members. Even to just get rid of rerolls (preventing burning people extremely fast with negativity and extremely repetitive work there), and allow other, more experienced support members to focus on user tickets and forum.
This site has 5 years, and CG added support members only 2 times.
Also site didn't have so much negativity when we had only 3 active support members 2 years ago. Because community was smaller. So users were able to hold in check others.
There are also users that got so comfortable with posting trolling threads all the time, that they write now threads about it when support do something about it and close half dozen of them. They're like weeds - when you don't get rid of them when they are small, you will have unsolvable problem later, as they may look small on the surface, but their roots run deep.

The Raincoats were a self-described feminist punk band when there was no precedent for such a thing. To say they were polarizing in the British music weeklies for having a song like 1979βs lurching βOff Duty Trip,β about rape culture, would be a colossal understatement. And yet, in their original incarnation from 1977 to 1984, the Raincoats never stopped being themselves.
As usual, artists and creatives were at the forefront of a social movement.

It's very sad that in this day and age we still have problems like this. Hollywood and politics are both blowing up with sexual harassment accusations right now. Aren't these the types of people that should be setting some sort of standards since they are high profile and supposedly representing the "best" of humanity? It's disgusting! Why can't people live by the mantra, "do unto others..."? There is absolutely no reason for this behavior other than human beings are just pieces of shit towards each other. I'm sorry Mully. There's nothing that I can add to make it better. π’

Your comment and support's already made it better, I assure you. :)

That's the mantra they are living by, they want to get sexually harassed by women so they harass women to show that's what they want.

π Giveaways (moved to top for convenient leeching π):
If you want to share giveaways, please use this template:
copy everything inside the ` (even the opening/closing `grave accents`), edit and and paste it in your reply
Please use the format provided above! It's easier for me to copy-paste multiple giveaways in this thread. π€
It will take me a few days to update the list. To avoid having your giveaway not "showcased" set its duration to more than 5 days (unless you don't care, it's up to you).
Because I'm tired of getting catcalled and watching others in the street receive the same treatment, I decided to share some information with everyone in SG hoping that they can stop doing it and/or talk to their friends to make them reconsider their behavior.
Street harassment is unwanted and unwelcomed public attention, most often directed at women, which is demeaning and damaging. Itβs not a private matter but one that should concern everyone.
If you have trouble empathising with strangers, then think about your mother, sister, or girlfriend. Would you enjoy watching people catcalling and telling them nasty things? How do you think they would feel about it?
On an average day I go out twice and I get at least one guaranteed catcall. On weekends or when I go out, for example to a club, it gets worse because groups of people feel more empowered to do so.
A few months ago I was walking with a friend and one guy said things and started to follow us. After a while it ended with me turning around and pepper-spraying his face, then running away in case he could fight back. This is the kind of violence it generates.
We had a rough rest of the day and were shaken up. I didn't enjoy doing that at all, but he had to be stopped. I also like to think the guy didn't enjoy it either.
So in the end, what did he achieve? Nothing.
Edit
OK, I'm gonna clear this up since some people like to assume things just to blame me for defending myself.
For the backward people, this was in june when I wasn't wearing "provocative shorts and t-shirts" clothes. These are the "nice compliments" I got amongst others i don't even want to repeat here and/or I want to forget:
hey girl nice butt
does your friend wanna F with me too?
hey reply bitch
come here lesbos!
GONNA EAT YOUR ASS
Walked one block with that guy which was 1 meter away from us. He wasn't shouting from the other side of the street, he wasn't half a block away, he wasn't sitting in the sidewalk. He was right behind us.
He got warned to leave us alone during the whole 1-block fast-paced walk. I didn't stop to "discuss" because I'm not a 1.9 meters 120kg guy, so I'm not putting my friend and I at risk at 8:30pm in the street.
You read the "You're not alone" thread?
Well, most of the stuff that I shared about me is linked directly to an experience related to this, but I wasn't walking with a friend and there were two guys instead of one following me. You can guess what happened next since I wasn't able to defend myself.
But of course, street harassment is harmless and nothing else can go wrong, nor it can trigger unhappy memories from past experiences.
Think a bit before judging others so quickly assuming they overreact when they feel in danger.~
I know I probably won't convince anyone catcalling to stop by posting this (it doesn't hurt to try), but if your friends or co-workers do it, you can persuade or talk to them and see if they get it. There's nothing worse than being in a group of friends and allowing them to act like idiots.
It's disgusting and demeaning, stop it. You're hurting people with your actions and makes you look like a fool.
β€οΈοΈ FAQ, in case you're gonna post one of these comments I get all the time.
- But some women like to be catcalled!
Yes, there's also men that like to get hit in the face with a hammer. So using the same logic, I should go out and hit all men with a hammer in hopes they enjoy it?
- Don't be so sensitive, ignore it.
No, it reaches a point it can't be ignored. It's not an isolated issue once per month or in certain situations so you can avoid it. It also affects me a lot depending on my mood, so when you feel like crap and you get catcalled, things get worse.
- So you want others to come to your rescue when some stranger catcalls you? That will end up with me getting in a fight!
I'm not asking people to fight for me, just them to stop doing it, spread the word, and discourage people in their group of friends from being disrespectful.
- If you don't want to get catcalled, dress appropriately!
1: Don't blame the victim.
2: I dress as I please. It's my body, not someone else's.
3: It doesn't matter if it's winter and I'm wearing a jacket, or summer with shorts and a t-shirt. Some people will be idiots anyway and say things.
- I bet you like it when a handsome guy catcalls you!
Irrelevant. I expect respect from everyone.
- What about men? They also get harassed!
I'm very aware guys also get harassed by both men and women, but this thread is about girls. Feel free to create another thread for that issue, and I will support it.
- So this is just a misandrist rant!
It's not. If you feel targeted by anything I said, then it's not because you're a man, it's because you actions ressemble what it's said here.
- Meh, it could be worse.
It could be worse, but it SHOULD be better. Also, normalizing this behavior makes it even more painful for victims.
- Women also catcall!
I never said they don't, but for each woman that catcalls me, i get 500 guys. So the issue at hand is the one I shared.
- This thread offends me!
That tells a lot about you. Log off, take your time, and think about it.
- This thread is inappropriate for SG, please close and delete it!
Go tell that to all other threads about awareness, politics, religion, sports, disasters, etc.
