I had heard Venerate was coming back, I was hoping this one would stay on Phinny.

This one has never played on Phinny, Agnarr, etc.

I stopped because creeps be creepin. Might start again soon, every once in a while. But I've been saying that for about a year so don't trust a word I say (LIKE ALL WOMEN, AMIRITE?)

If correct, maybe make a character and play it secretly never use voice on that toon and don't tell people who you are. Meet new people, establish new relationships and enjoy p99 whenever you feel like it without any weirdos bothering you.

What a great nuanced idea... one I definitely couldn't have thought up myself and one that I am definitely not currently putting into practice.

Also, dunno what the hell Kerbey's damage is with me. I think we've communicated like once ever in game at a Venerate Rustle raid. I was not stepping on your mod rods, ok.

Anyway....

Exactly. Feminism means equal treatment, not "pretend both genders are identical". Now to be fair:
...
Same thing with maternity leave/paternity leave. No feminist is saying "men have to push a baby out, they need time off". They're just saying "hey, there's a lot more to this whole baby-rearing thing than just the 'pushing out' part, and men should get the same opportunity for involvement in that as women".

Right, yes. Not specifically related, but more as a broad statement to a lot of the comments in this thread: If I were to take the first stance mentioned above as a feminist, and aim my ire at say Men's Rights Activists, I'd label them as chauvinists, bigots, sexist, dramatic, etc. etc. But I, a self-identified proud feminist, understand there are extremes in all groups whether it's a political party, a religion, GAMERS, etc. I know MRA has some reasonable demands (paternity leave, fairer custody litigation that doesn't automatically favor the mother, having a choice over their bodies [circumcision].) Feminism is VERY reasonable. Equality is the foundation. I acknowledge extremists exist that quite frankly, annoy the shit out of me, too. They may be the loudest but they are not the majority.
