@lilyorit i was off on a tangent expanding the "foot doctor" logic. we do have people who play games with women as subject matter: PUAs. -
@chaosprime Damn. I hadn't gone all the way to the PUA thought. I was still back at "thank G-d, someone else sees "female" as dehumanizing." -
@lilyorit *nodnod* i definitely agree that it shouldn't be used as a noun when any other noun will reasonably suffice for purpose at hand -
@chaosprime I feel sort of weird (though I'm often on them) about Women in Gaming panels for related reasons.
