[url=#user_comment_337714]@gottagoslow[/url] You have no scientific fact, evidence or basis to claim that gender is a social construct (we are socially engineered to grow penises and excrete different hormones, waat?). Opinions don't matter here. Also source that matriarchy prevails in Africa.

[url=#user_comment_337714]@gottagoslow[/url] I'm still trying to decipher your horrible English. The view of the society is not a scientific fact. Not sure how that makes any sense to you. If you doubt a study it doesn't make gender a social construct, it makes you ignorant.

[url=#user_comment_337694]@Marabunta[/url]: is that does society share this view? I doubt it, and that, in itself, makes gender a social construct.

[url=#user_comment_337694]@Marabunta[/url]: I mean, they had to start somewhere. But gender itself, as being innate, the whole thing? When one century guys are to believe one way, and then the next, same with girls, topsy turvy? You might be defining gender purely on these biological differences, which is wise to do, but the quest

One usually would be able to tell if they remove clothing. If what you're trying to say is also "These differences are basises of the gender system, then I also agree. I mean,

Modern day: Boy love. An issue. 19th century: Males are to be proper, gentleman like, own businesses, be well-dressed. 20th century:

[url=#user_comment_337694]@Marabunta[/url]: Thank you for the articles. What these articles indicate is that boys and girls have certain preferences, innate, pre-significant social conditioning. But they don't prove to me that gender isn't a social construct. If gender were a natural state of being, a large majority of it would

[url=#user_comment_337657]@gottagoslow[/url] Gende being a social construct means it's entirely thought through growing up and humans that aren't exposed to this kind of teaching don't develop gender specific traits and behavior. Which is disproves by hundreds of studies on humans and monkeys.

I'm SO looking forward to finally playing Peach again in a Mario game. It only took them, what, 30 years or so?

[url=#user_comment_337652]@Marabunta[/url]: ...so just like the biased opinion you are showing right now? Anita's law people. Anita's law. Don't bring up her name in places you don't want to turn into a wretched hive of scum and villainy. The less she mentioned, the more healthy this comment section will be.

Hey! I hate Anita Sarkeesian too! And not because she's a woman OR a feminist! Mostly because she's a charlatan.
Also because she believes genders are social constructs and shit like that.
Expect to receive hate if you base your opinions on disproven scientific facts and biased opinions.
over 10 years ago
Sarkeesian haters? In my nerfnow comment section? It's more likely then you think.

Seriously gang, there's a reason "Anita's law" is named after her. Don't bring it here, no matter if you like her or not.

@J.c. Bengtson: But what would poor Sarkeesian complain about then? :3

(Before someone notes, No I don't have a problem with feminism. I have problems with her)

They should make a game with Peach as the hero(ine), but no Mario, Luigi or Bowser involved at all. The story could be about how they're off battling while some -other- threat comes to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Peach has to recruit friends (like Daisy!) to help her on an adventure herself.

Doki Doki Panic (reskined to become Super Mario 2, USA version) was fun, and brought many enemies (and Peach's veggie throws) to the official Mario games.
Having Peach be playable again sounds good to me.

Ummmm Mario also likes a bunch of variety. Pauline (and was his special "guest"), Princess Peach, Daisy (Lugi was the rebound).
