The Guy's Guide to Being a Feminist Ally in Video Gaming

Women aren’t alone in feeling hopeless, or like there’s no effective way to change either the behavior of individuals or the culture that leaves space for the harassment of women. So I hopped on Twitter yesterday and asked men who play video games, and who push back against sexist behavior when they see it, what kinds of arguments they’ve found to be effective.

It's a cool spring Thursday in Ukraine as the 24-year-old walks through the streets of Kiev with her attorney. She is wearing a leather jacket and black boots, and dangling an almost-finished cigarette between her fingers. Five years, because she bared her breasts in public once again. The hearing at the Interior Ministry is at 5 p.m., and they are in a hurry. They walk past tall, brown and gray buildings from the Stalin era. Shachko is a Ukrainian women's rights activist, and her weapons are attached to her pale, petite body like the two halves of an apple. Opération Socio. Ambivalent sexism. Ambivalent sexism is a theoretical framework which posits that sexism has two sub-components: "hostile sexism" and "benevolent sexism.

Ambivalent sexism

" Hostile sexism reflects overtly negative evaluations and stereotypes about a gender (e.g. the ideas that women are incompetent and inferior to men or that all men are potential rapists). Benevolent sexism represents evaluations of gender that may appear subjectively positive, but are actually damaging to people and gender equity more broadly (e.g. the ideas that women need to be protected by men or that men aren't fit to take care of children). For the most part, psychologists have studied hostile forms of sexism. However, theorists using the theoretical framework of ambivalent sexism have found extensive empirical evidence for both varieties.

Mi-janvier, le psychologue évolutionnaire, Jesse Bering, a écrit un article pour Slate.com, où il présentait quatre manières dont les femmes avaient évolué pour se protéger des viols lorsqu’elles ovulaient. Son article a déclenché de violentes critiques, au sein de Slate et sur des sites scientifiques notamment. Plusieurs journalistes de Double X, le site féminin de Slate, ont écrit une réponse à son article, et Jesse Bering a lui-même écrit une réponse à ces critiques.

Nous publions en même temps le premier article de Bering, une des réponses de Double X, la réponse aux réponses de Bering, ainsi qu’un article de Peggy Sastre sur le problème des féministes avec la psychologie évolutionnaire et enfin un article de Titiou Lecoq qui porte plus généralement sur les études scientifiques et «la femme».
