| > she'd already antagonized the whole company in her first 6 months by throwing probably the most explosive political grenade that you can. Questioning the lack of diversity of body types for female avatars compared to make avatars is “throwing probably the most explosive political grenade that you can.”? I don't see it. Or, I sure see how the blatantly sexist response [0] could be viewed as politically explosive, but I don't think she anticipated or reasonably should have that that would be the response. [0] which either outright claimed or implicitly relied on each of these: (1) that avatars of a particular gender matter only to players of that gender, (2) that female players are concerned only with the attractiveness of their avatar, while men have more varied interests, (3) that only a single female body type is attractive. > a lot of modern feminism starts from the assumption that there are zero differences between men and women No, it doesn't, though a lot of sexist rants about feminism start with the claim that it does. > I don't agree with it but it's just a stupid political argument he's having with her, it's not in any form sexual harassment. Alone, it's maybe not extreme enough to constitute sexual harassment as a single event, though it's quite easily the kind of thing that with a bunch of other stuff reported in the story could easily qualify as part of a pattern constituting sexual harassment by creation of a hostile workplace. |
