Yes, it is true that many of them involved relationships. However, there is a subtle difference between attacking someone for not dating you, attacking someone who is dating you, and attacking your ex.

Nevertheless, you’re absolutely right that all of these are terrible and that stereotyping women as less violent than men only makes things worse.

1. Giving examples of oppression is not trying to control someone unless you’re using a very strange definition of “control.”

2. Could you either explain how “giving examples of oppression” is “controlling women” at all, or give an example of feminists actually trying to control women?

3. Using the term “vagina vessels” as a synonym for women is cissexist.

4. In my experience, which is admittedly very much anecdotal evidence, feminists have never tried to control my actions. Sexist people, on the other hand, have.

I've never seen anyone try to control women like a group of feminists

So here’s the thing. Yes, there are some strong female characters in video games. But the existence of a few is not the same thing as full representation. To quote a study of video game magazines (yes, I know that the magazines are not the same as the games themselves, but this is what I’ve found so far)(x), “The ratio of male (360) to female (119) video game characters was about 3 to 1.” . In addition, “ A content analysis of images of video game characters from top-selling American gaming magazines showed male characters (83%) are more likely than female characters (62%) to be portrayed as aggressive. Female characters are more likely than male characters to be portrayed as sexualized (60% versus 1%), scantily clad (39% versus 8%) and as showing a mix of sex and aggression (39 versus 1%).” In addition, another study (x) suggested that playing as a sexualized video game character meant that “ Female self-efficacy was negatively affected.”

Female Characters in Videogames... debunking a myth

It's time to brush aside the oft regurgitated myth that strong female leads in videogames are and have always been nonexistent or relegated to background or ...

Damn… regardless of where we fall in this debate, this is some damn good work. I am thoroughly impressed.

It wouldn’t be a very big difference, but it would be a difference. 

Attacking someone for not dating you is saying that it is your right to control their actions.

Attacking someone you are dating depends on the circumstance. From the list above, it seems like the biggest reason is infidelity, which is saying that your right to faithfulness is greater than someone’s right to life. It’s also more centered around forcing someone into not doing something than forcing someone into doing something.

Attacking your ex again depends on the circumstances. Infidelity would be basically the same, but attacking someone for breaking up with you is probably more like the first case.

There’s also the fact that there tends to be a greater connection between partners than between one person asking the other out.

Again, these things are similar, and I’m not saying they’re not. I’m just saying that there is a distinction, though the distinction is not the most important part of this post.

Care to justify that comment?

I do not understand this “male privilege" bullshit.

What. Fucking. Privileges. Do. Men. Have.???????

Name them. I swear, I challenge you to name these “male privileges" and be able to prove them. 

Come on, I fucking dare you. 

Name them!

I don’t know, I did find a Padma/Sally-Anne fic on A03 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/142827 ; I haven’t read it, so I can’t say if it’s any good.) But she is a rare character to spot.

i challenge you to find a possible harry potter ship that hasn’t had a fic written about it, realistic or ridiculous

it’s impossible
