I think that this was uncalled for but it doesn't stop me from hating her type. I mean sure woman can be objectified in video games and I hate it, but to think that man are not objectified in video games too is stupid. I do not hate her for the person she is, ( that is why I think this is uncalled for ) I hate her for what she represents ( Feminists ) who try to bring " equell rights". Haven't we reached the closest gender equell reality we can right now? Not everything can be equell to both gender's since we are different. Woman have to take maternity leave so obviusly they can't have the same amount of raises as a man who does not take a year off for every baby his family have and there are various other examples which leads one to think that right now feminsm is their to only make woman as better.

P.S: I do not want to offend anyone with this post, this is just my view on feminism.

So, your more than welcome to your opinion but I have to disagree. There is a seperate issue for how men are represented in gaming but it is not "objectification". I think the representation of men in video games may also be an issue worthy of discussion but obviously it is not the focus of Sarkeesians videos, nor does it need to be. 

Also the videos are really just pointing out certain common tropes that are so common that they have likely been internalized by both the people that play video games and the ones that make them. I don't think there is anything wrong with atleast being cognizant of some of these things even if you don't plan to change them, that can only make you are more self aware and enlightened person.

Also, women are definitely underrepresented in gaming. This isn't a problem that is anyone's fault and some may not view it as a problem at all but if you take the definition of underrepresentation to mean there are fewer representations of that group in games than there are in the audience then women are underrepresented. They may also be misrepresented according to Sarkeesian and that is what she would like to see change. 

If the gaming audience were mature enough these kind of introspective discussions could only lead to good things. We finally have people taking the medium seriously enough that we can have these kinds of discussions and really dissect the medium in away that it hasn't been in the past and people don't even want this kind of thing to exist? Why is it's existence so threatening? What a shame.

Thank you for your opinion and while I do agree with you on certain expects especially on what you said on the first and final paragrapgh. I do not agree though that woman are underrepresented in gaming and neither does Anita as it seems, she is however trying to change as you said how woman are represented in gaming and if she kept how woman are represented sexually in games I would have agreed with her, (We have problems in games when it comes to this) but when she talked about how woman should not be dansal in distresses ( Which if I am not mistaken was her first video ) I had to disagree with her. One has to also see the real world for this, Woman are weaker than men in physical strenght and so therefore they require more protection and so if we take video games as physical extensions I don't see how this can change.
