I was just asked nicely whether i could make some icons for the Girl Gamers. I thought i was doing a nice thing

Hey, it's not a shot at you personally.

Here's an idea, why not split the site into two parts. Leave the one for guys as is (focused on any game of interest). Then cover the other in pink and show the words "girl gamers" alot. (Patronising maybe?)
Look, I see it like this.
The popularity and lifespan of the site depend on content, not girl gamer icons.

Ahh, gotta love blunt honesty

While this wouldn't be splitting the site in two like that exactly, it would, in the extreme case, split the review section. As I said, I'd like to blend in, and become common

Duuuuuude. Where did anyone attack you and your little pics? How can you think you've offended anyone? We're not talking about you personally, it's just the idea.

I really hope I haven't scared anyone off from saying that they actually like the idea. Because I'd really like to understand why you do.

HUH? What have I don't now?! I didn't realise that anything should be done with me

I've been playing Resi UC lately, and I like that quite a lot

Does that count? I would never play anything as violent as Manhunt though...

Yeah, that does count. RE series is fairly violet.

I would love to hear some more opinions from the other ladies of this website.

Also, Ladies, what do you think of Marge's weapon in the original arcade version of the Simpsons Game.

Now, the reason I ask, is that my girlfriend is a bit of a feminist, and hates the fact that Marge is going around with a Vacuum cleaner...

Hey, that's a heavy vacuum. It takes a strong woman to wield that as good as Marge does and does a hell of a lot of damage. And can conveniently clean up your mess afterwards to hide the evidence of your actions. An all around winner.

Hehehe.
Housewife on the edge.
I believe that was the intended joke anyway.

She's a fictitious character who, according to big Matt maker of the show, epitomises the housewife stereotype.

It's suppose to be sexist.

(That's why Lisa is so out spoken, to set a contrast. The stereotype Vs the individual)

Ah, but she looks at it as sexiest. Just like all the commerical's on TV regarding cleaning products. I don't think I've ever seen a guy on there doing the cleaning, so I can kind of see where she's coming from.

Then she should take offense to whole show. Do you take offense at Homer being a no-good lazy beer drinking husband? Why not? Why isn't it as offensive to stereo-type a guy like that? Because females haven't always had the same rights as men, and that seems to still be stuck in the heads of many-a-woman, even though we're pretty much equal now-a-days. Cleaning commercials I can see why that is somewhat sexist, but some people get in such a state of mind that they will see anything stereotypically female as an attack on females in general. It's not until we see ourselves as equal, and can take a joke when it is meant to be one, that we will ever be equal.

Lucky that's not actually a portrayal of you in that avatar of your's then. And lucky I can take a joke! As can you....

Man - thats some Wize stuff there. It also makes a lot of sense. If i was a hard working american...i wouldnt want an american man stereo-typed as homer...if u can undestand that. Like cause homer always says "im an american this and that..."
So yea... she should be a little less narrow minded on stereo-typing...HOWEVER!
i would also like to see some intergration of men into the "cleaning" stuff. I like how for teens, and "blemishes" the clearsil add has used boys and girls...Cause it does happen to both

Haha. That's the problem with feminism. Not all woman who say they are feminist actually follow that way entirely. There's always things that women expect men to do, like open the door for them going into a place or vehicle. I'm not saying that's bad or anything, but it's inconsistant. Hell, I still open the door for my girlfriend getting into my car or going into a building.

Funny thing, she loves the Simpsons. It's just the fact that in the game, of all the weapons in the world, it would have to be a Vacuum cleaner...

The whole opening doors thing can be nice sometimes, but not when it's over-done. Like having a guy piss-bolt in front of you just to open the door. I have a friend that will make me sit in the car until he gets out of the car and opens the door for me

it just makes me feel like a hopeless tool.

But his intentions are right, I guess. This same guy likes a girl to walk on his right if we're walking down the street, so he's closest to the road. Apparently this dates back to the days when horses ruled the road, so he'd be the first one hit if a horse went mental.

It cracks me up.

And what do you mean "We win"? I wasn't aware I was arguing against either of you, if that's what you want then bring it!!!
