Iris Ophelia ( Janine Hawkins IRL) has been featured in the New York Times, and has spoken about SL-based design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan and with pop culture/fashion maven Johanna Blakley. Also, if you've never read Jenn Frank's older but still very relevant article 'I was a Teenage Sexist', be sure to check it out for a slightly different but no less relatable perspective on outing yourself as a sexist. You can read Bramwell's full post over on Eurogamer. Your natural response is to try to change the subject, attack the speaker or frame the argument differently, rather than engaging with the thing you can't comprehend at the heart of the original point. And when you have an entrenched attitude that you may not fully recognise and you are confronted by arguments that go to the core of that attitude, it's easy to get upset, because it feels like a personal attack. I think they are just a byproduct of the kind of casual ignorance I have personally embodied for pretty much all of my sexist life. The thing about those comments - this isn't a straw man argument, by the way go read the comments on my article about gender representation in Assassin's Creed Unity - is that I don't think they come from a place of actual misogyny.
