I will! :) I don't really "know" him either, I just follow his blog (like I do for a lot of my favorite writers). But yeah, he just did a huge post about how sexism isn't always as obvious as certain fanboys want to pretend it is, and passing off places where it occurs as "rare" or the "exception" doesn't help anyone.

Times like these make me wish I was a proper gamer. I'm too dyslexic to deal with any controller more complicated than a Super Nintendo. (And I wasn't allowed near those either after I got frustrated and started throwing them across the room when I lost. I'm . . . very competitive.)
