If three fourteen year old boys did that to an eleven year old girl, they would go straight on the sex offenders list. But three fourteen year old girls do that to an eleven year old boy, and it's just considered "a prank that maybe went a bit too far" ? What does it say about our society when something this ****ed up is a "prank" ? Guess this is when gender inequality becomes even more palpable..

And boy oh boy, I had a feeling this would make it to TV Tropes, and it did.

Bottom of the "Other" tag.

There is a huge double standard regarding abuse, be it sexual or of another nature, a woman is far more likely to get off light on bullshit like this.

Well obviously. Men and women aren't equal. Who the hell actually thinks that?

Now you're acting like a big dick. 👆

'And screw all dem chinese too!'

There's double standards for women regarding just about everything.

That's why they should all be in the kitchen. You see what happens when you let them out?

Not really, just stating the facts. We just saw a video where, if the genders were reversed, it would be called something far worse than a prank.

Which isn't to say men aren't complete dicks that abuse women in all kinds of manners. They obviously do and as far as I know, they do it more frequently.

Equality between the genders is something our society hasn't quite gotten the hang of yet. Maybe we will, maybe we won't. I don't really care either way. Fact is, we aren't equal yet. 😛

Keep in mind the reason you don't hear about women abusing men more often is because of the double standard. Men are conditioned not to hit back, and are often unwilling to seek help for abuse, because of the social stigma that is placed on it, and probably because fact of the matter is that the woman would get away with it.

Well that was said based on what I know. And what I know isn't very much mind you. 😛

But it's not like it matters. So long as anyone commits abuse, they're nothing but scum. Whichever does most....well that isn't really important to me.

At the end of the video he hits the spider with his sword and it looked like it flipped, at least to me. Maybe I'm seeing things.

Also this.

I did not see Link touch it.

Hmmm

I do wonder what Microsoft has against controllers?
