I've found talking about lady parts leads to bans quicker than the dude counterpart. I suspect this is due to the fact that women are taboo as a whole on the internet, a lot more dudes. And most sites will cite "maybe we have one chick who surfs this site and would find this offensive!"
It is the same, people just like to white knight any chance they get, anyway they can, ban or otherwise. If this other comment you mentioned really happened and wasn't banned, of course.

referencing guys getting kicked in the nuts happens all the damn time, and the whole peeing blood thing at least once a week if not daily.

Maybe because female gamers are regarded as such a rare and precious commodity -- like endangered species -- that we don't want to scare them away?

Problem is that people are easily offended nowadays. Coincidentally enough, they might also be narrow minded and self-centered

Just thinking ... this is the Internet. "Kicking" is so uncouth. It's probably more socially acceptable to say, "Falcon Punch to the ovaries!"

i wonder if that would have gotten me suspended as well.

well this is the world we've created. racism against whites is acceptable, not against blacks. sexism is bad, as long as its directed at women, but its fine if its against men... women want equality, but funnily enough, only when it suits them, and only in SOME things, same when it comes to race, same when it comes to religion and politics. its a minefield, and the only freedom of expression and speech we TRULY have, is when we shut up and only say and think the same things as the rest of the sheep.

Are you white? Are you a man? How would you even know what it's like to live as a woman or a person of color? Have you EVER had to experience the myriad ways that being a non-white person or a woman effects you? You don't get to be the one with all the power and cry about how tough your life is, dude. Get over it and grow up.

I can't believe I'm replying to you, but here you go.
If you kicked a woman in her ovaries, you'd essentially also be kicking her in the kidneys. You could kill her. It's not the same as kicking a man in an externally placed organ that could more easily recover from impact trauma.
You're inciting violence against women. See #3.
On an individual basis, women are victims of violence far more than men are. It's ingrained in all the media we consume. With the current socio-economic situation the world is in, combined with historic attitudes where women were considered property - an attitude that clearly hasn't been erased even today - sexism against women is still rampant. Women are second class citizens compared to men. Less opportunities, treated less fairly, paid less. More likely to be raped or sexually abused than men. Women face a whole world full of strife and terror that men don't even have to think about, and women have to face it every day. It literally doesn't even occur to most men that women have to run this whole gauntlet of terrible things just to be alive, just to get through each day.
Women in gaming are treated like shit. Because gaming is geared towards males, women are excluded for the most part. By players, by developers. Women who try to play games get vile insults hurled at them and their gender is seen as an excuse for male gamers to threaten them with rape, to proposition them for sex. Women in games are treated as pin-up posters and sex objects rather than 50% of the world's population, who can do the same jobs as men and would be found in all the same places as all the men in games (for the most part, see #3 about how sexism affect women's hiring opportunities).
Dictionary definition of sexism: "discrimination on the basis of sex, esp the oppression of women by men". Sexism isn't just about discrimination, it's about oppression. When you can show me how the majority of men are being systematically oppressed by women, how men are paid less, how men are less likely to be objectified for their looks or body, how everyone on earth thinks it's fine to comment on women's bodies but no one ever seems to say, "Oh, look George Clooney's ass is fat! Brad Pitt has cellulite, UGH!!!", get back to me on how you're being oppressed.

"im going to wear daisy dukes and spaghetti straps, constantly talk about womens appearances like it defines them, take months off from work because i chose to have a child (but expect the employer to not charge extra for health insurance, and also hold the job for me.), but constantly complain about how i feel objectified and dont make as much money as men."
seriously, if you dont think women are objectifying themselves and directly causing / participating in a lot of the so-called 'oppression' they claim to be so upset about, youre delusional.
why do you think all those fashion and celebrity gossip magazines, tv shows, etc. are blatantly geared toward women?
also, im going to go out on a limb and guess that youre female and a 'minority' race. boo fucking hoo. you qualify for government assistance that i dont, education grants that i dont, small business loans that i dont, and so on.

im waiting for a response, tarquin.
better yet, just finish reading that link i posted. you clearly didnt read the whole thing.

Why would you reply with a wall of text? From the OP himself, he does this:
"because it was hilarious. walls of text responding to blatant trolling and people getting all upset about not the trolling, but because of what i said in the op. as if it was serious."

I wondered if you posted stupid things on sites other than SteamGifts. Now I know.

And he's been suspended on those sites more than on SteamGifts :(. Unfortunate for us that our mods are too nice with regards to trolls.

i find it funny how known i am around here even though ive only made approximately half a dozen topics.

It doesnt take too much to make a name for yourself - especially negatively.

if you do it hard enough, she will pee blood for days.
is this more offensive than:
just kick him in the balls. if you do it hard enough, he will pee blood for days.
?
i just got suspended from another site for two days for saying the first one, but its apparently okay to say the male equivalent of that. what the fuck. sexism to the extreme.
