George Will is evidently carrying around an old high school or college -era deep-seated grudge against women in general, or a particular singular hatred against an individual girl who refused his advances.

Or, he never gained the courage to ask her out in the first place.

He has a daughter — I wonder whether he asked her about this… and what she’d say if he did.

Full Disclosure.

I know Grim, digitally. I was going to do some games with him. I wrote a short story for his Fukashima Charity pack.

I’m not going to defend his views - they are woefully naive, but equally, woefully, uninformed. He’s on the record as not understanding what the term Rape Culture means. His honest opinion is that a Rape Culture is somewhere like India.

His “Defense of Rape” piece was a writer’s defense. It followed the suspicion that the latest Tomb Raider had Lara’s rape as a major plot point. He took the position that it was a work of fiction, that that fiction was the product of a creative, and that creative had the right to tell the story they wanted.
He then went on to highlight other works of fiction where rape featured prominently .

His move towards the Men’s Rights useless shower was, in part, of people misquoting his work to paint him as a misogynist. As he says - all his work is mature, labeled as such, and labeled as satirical.

I’ve struggled with Privilege Check. I absolutely want a copy. It would go nicely with my Cards Against Humanity; I could use it as a teaching tool - how to design a game set within a particular world view; but I have followed Grim’s descent into MRA with such … hurt I have never put hand in pocket.

I spoke to my 16 year old step son about Rape Culture this weekend, from the view that “we are all potential rapists” and he responded exactly the way Grim has done: I’m not a rapist. I’m not going to stand for anyone saying that I am. That’s just feminist bullshit designed to give hate to men.

And he stormed off.

And that’s a typical response to someone with privilege who hasn’t checked it.

Wait. I’ve just defended his views. Let me try that again.

I’m cutting him off from a lot of my social networks because his lack of information is annoying/frustrating. The lens of “It’s about you, but it’s really about me” is outstanding with its lack of irony.

But the description here? A little… skewed.

We should totally buy this and Cards Against Humanity for George, though
