How in gods green earth did you mangle that point out of this story

[–] MacNCheezus 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Well, in my experience from using Twitch it’s predominantly female streamers who do these kind of streams, so if there’s a policy against it, it would make sense that it would affect mostly women. That’s not sexist in and of itself.

But when you say that the policy is sexist because it affects mostly women, it implies that its unfair not to expect women to engage in nudity, doesn’t it.

You would have a point, except twitch very clearly had double standards of treatment for male and female streamers prior to this.

No, no it really doesnt. Not even a little bit.

If thats what it implies to you, I need you to call up your high school lit teacher and apologize for failing to learn a single thing in their classroom.

And then maybe invest in some picture books

Ah yes, calling my argument stupid is certainly going to convince me that I’m wrong. /s

I taught college stats, you dimwit. Perhaps you should invest in a math book. You know, with formulas and stuff. But you probably failed math since 9th grade.

You dont seem the type to be capable of realizing when youre wrong.

As evidenced by the fact you think a math degree makes you an expert in what is and isnt sexist? I bet you think being a lecture hall baby sitter also makes you president material, but thats not the case either.

Like. Whats that flex mean here? Ive got functional degrees in biology and ecology, why would that matter either?
