A well-done analysis concerning sexual harassment

[korinna]

Sexual harassment for female players in Starcraft2 thread by Jennifer Kesler @ The Hathor Legacy:Reader The Other Patrick sent us this link in which a female video gamer asks on a Starcraft2 forum if there are other female gamers interest in starting a women-only clan. The very first response is a male gamer demanding she post a picture of herself

It's quite an effective tactic, overall:

1) Deny that female gamers exist.
2) When female gamers make themselves known, insist that they are just trying to get attention, and are therefore shallow and manipulative.
3) When all the female gamers are suitably silenced, return to #1.

1b) If pic request is unsuccessful, deride woman as ugly and fat.
1c) If pic request is successful, judge woman's appearance: objectify if attractive, insult if not.
