Current music:Mabel King: "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News"

Over at bad_service, [info]ikite laments bad service at video game stores--and her strained relationships with females:

I do not know if this is true, but I have heard that many females like to "fight for dominance/territory" with other females.

I have experienced this in many aspects of my life.. I am not a whore, I do not sleep around, but females tend to HATE me. I am so terrified of females that I make sure to never work with any or encounter any in life, but sometimes I have had to and ---nearly--- every last female I have EVER met *****(even my own mother and stepmother [who beat the shite out of me])***** has made it a point to go out of their way to make my life a living hell.

Now I do not know if this correlates with my encounters at EB Games and/or GameStop, but EVERY female I come into contact with at those stores is a BITCH. Feel what you want to feel, you know, but not when my fiance and I make a $120 and/or a $50 purchase at YOUR STORE, because we could easily go elsewhere. >O


[info]ikite goes on to describe two cases of bad service, where, first, she asked for a release date from an employee who didn't know, and, second, she was rudely informed that Gamestop was not hiring. Typical bad_service wank would find one party arguing that the OP is an "EB" and that the service was not bad, but this wank has one up on all the others:

[info]therikkster: ...Y'know, somehow i'm thinking you give off the misogynist-creep-EB vibes.

[info]therikkster seems convinced, through his/her own power of internets deduction and the second opinion of his/her friend, that [info]ikite is a creepy misogynist despite being a woman. [info]therikkster's second opinion causes [info]ikite to respond boldly, defending herself as the polite, hapless victim of a mass female conspiracy. Some people theorize that there is no mass female conspiracy, that the true cause of [info]ikite's feminine woes is...[info]ikite herself!

[info]kitashla pontificates: I love how people immediately assume that when almost everyone of a certain group is mean/evil/rude towards them that it's always the other groups fault. I mean, far be it for most people to do some logical and rational thinking and realize that it's terribly unlikely that the entire gender as a whole is flawed. That when the only constant in all of your experiences is YOU, the chances are damn good you are the cause.

As usual, [info]ikite defends herself, whipping out the common, "But I have done customer service! How can I be an EB?" defense, and as usual, people roll their eyes and accuse her of playing the victim.

Naturally, the rest of the comments that aren't accusing her of being misogynistic, confrontational and "playing the victim" wonder just WTF is going on here. And a misogynistic fun time was had by all!

ETA: Well, well! It appears the accusations of being a misogynist have driven [info]ikite to the edge. She has now disabled comments to her original post (caps, anyone?), posted a follow-up which has now been tagged for deletion.

I love how she seems to think hating on all women is somehow NOT sexist, just because she is a woman herself. Ah, wanka-logic. I <3 thee.

:( Boo, all women are jerks, and especially those women who work at video game stores? This is gonna make being a gamer lesbian really tough.

Also, all the chicks I've met who worked at game stores have been nothing but nice. The last one I spoke with talked with me about how she thought E3 would be more fun if you went drunk. It was funny. A good time was had by all.

So like. Why was it necessary to bring the 'all women hate me' into it in the first place, rather than just focusing on the shitty service? What did she think would happen?

I was waiting for this to show up.

What I don't get is why she needed to do the 'all women hate me and are bitches' thing. She definitely got bad service but really I had to wonder if EVERY female EVER has treated her badly if maybe she didn't, I don't know, warrant it somehow? Or she just has major issues and does some major projecting.

How many girls *want* to work at a games store, to be stared at by some of the creepy types who go in there? Even girl gamers would rather work somewhere else. If you work at a Barnes and Noble, you get a GameStop discount.

Angry highschoolers on part-time do not often make for top-shelf service. And certain obsessive-gamer-guys do not make ideal customers.

And she mentioned how everyone replying to her and being mean was female, which proves her point. Didn't 4chan ever teach her that there are NO GIRLS ON THE INTERNET?

...uh, I mean. *hides boobs*

(Seriously, though, I do wonder if she's just assuming they're all women, or if she went and checked the LJ profiles of every single person who responded negatively, because that strikes me as a liiiiittle bit crazy.)

choice comments from the OP:

Also, i have many female friends. Actually, one is a cheerleader and primpy as hell and she is one of the smartest people I know. Another one of my cheerleader friends is completely fun and crazy. I love her to death.

HOWEVER!- Please do not get me wrong. I have at least 15-20 GOOD female friends who I ADORE. (NEARLY WAS THE KEY WORD.) (bolding removed)

And my personal favourite:

If I was coming off to them as bitchy then I am sorry (to them). I get along with every other female in that mall, so I think it was just them.. ^^

See? She's got legions of female compatriots AT THAT VERY MALL. It means that she's totally right and everyone else is totally crazy for doubting her.

[info]ikite, I know you're just the hapless victim of a vast female conspiracy, but sometimes you have to change even when you aren't in the wrong, just for basic survival.

In that spirit, might I suggest that you stop referring to women as "wenches" even in your head? Women, as you may have heard, have an inexplicable and mysterious intuition and, as you may also have heard, are irrational and emotional, so they respond badly to things like that.

With love,
Muscat Mouse

She reminds me of my ex, who had a similar habit of saying something, and when people would respond "I... don't think that's quite how it works," would immediately begin the "OMG YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HAAAAARD IT IS FOR ME, I AM A VICTIM!" dance.

There's reasons we're exes.

That capslock of rage was actually spelled way too correctly to be from my ex, but I'm feeling generous.

I do not know if this is true, but I have heard that many females like to "fight for dominance/territory" with other females.

Hmmmm. I have heard that women tend to view other women as competition for men to a greater degree than men view other men as competition for women, but not the "fight for dominance/territory" thing.

*puts on her former-Gamestop-wench hat*

Retaaarded. But it makes me think of a good story. I was in my store during my second month there (in which, btw, every person employed there was female, including the manager) when a teenage boy walks in and walks up to my manager.

Manager: Can I help you?
Boy: Yeah, I need a job.
Manager: ... okay. *cheerfully* Good luck finding one!

Another time, I was working alone when a guy my age walks in.

Me: Hallo, can I help you?
Guy: Are you hiring right now?
Me: Do you have any management experience?
Guy: It's not for me, it's for my brother.
Me: Well, we're only hiring entry-level management right now.
Guy: Management... Nah, he's too stupid. *walks out*
Me: *lolz*

I know a female misogynist. She's insecure and socially awkward, and seems to find it easier to immediately stereotype people and put up her defenses before they actually DO anything. Naturally, this perpetuates some of her problems, although most of the battles go on only in her head (like the time a sorority girl was in one of her upper level physics classes. She was falling over herself in outrage that such a person was permitted in her domain. She's also against encouraging women to pursue the sciences, but calls herself a feminist.)

She also likes complaining about how she hates women to her female friends. She's special one.

Is it me, or is it strange so many people are saying "You aren't misogynist! I can't even see where these people got that" in some of the comments?

Also, I question the bad service story. A lot of it was her saying it was the tone. If she really thinks women hate her and she fears them, maybe those nasty tones were all in her head? I can't help but ponder.
