Conversation with Zak

I agree to all of your terms, but I cannot actually view your blog from my work due to content filters. I can read the text in my RSS reader, but not actually comment or view the blog.

If you are willing to comment here, I am good to go. Otherwise, we will have to talk only during the evening hours.

EDIT:

HERE IS ZAK'S POST  ON HIS BLOG POSTED FOR REFERENCE:

So people are talking about sexism in games.

Some of it makes sense to me, some of it doesn't.

But it's really important.

And: I want to understand the point of view of seemingly intelligent, responsible people who are saying things that do not make sense to me. I don't want to debate to prove I'm right, I want to understand things I do not yet understand.

So: Greg Christopher, I am inviting you to come here and explain what you think. And, if you like, vice versa.

HERE ARE THE RULES, THE ONLY RULES:

-If the other guy asks a question, you have to answer. No rhetorical questions, no grandstanding, no "I can't believe you would ask that question", no bullshit joke answers for the crowd, no "oh come on, you know the answer to that." You answer the question, you answer seriously and succinctly. Then you wait for the next question and/or ask one of your own.

-Beyond that, you try not to make any other statements (so do I). This is hard (and asking a question often involves making a statement), but the point is to understand that which is not understood. If you feel the question is leading or unfair, you can clarify, but basically this is not a debate this is an attempt to understand where the real, base-level differences are between whatever you think is the way for male human beings to fight sexism is and what the way I think the way for male human beings to fight sexism is.

-I erase any interjections from everybody else.
