is it not ok for a white person to do that?

the guy speaking the article is certainly off-puttingly enthusiastic about it, i'll say that. i only listened to it for about 30 seconds before i got tired of him.

it's a tf2 player I used to play with who did it as a troll

he was also known for masturbating and putting videos and audio recordings of it up on his website

Edge Case Sperglor posted:

That quotation at the beginning of your post simply establishes that there is a difference between "sex" and "gender", which no one is disputing. It doesn't give any support to your definition of gender, which appears to be way more limited than is used by professional academic researchers. It would, for example, exclude gender identity, which is a pretty big area to miss out, and which is highly relevant here. One problem is that you continually write about society or use "societal" as if society is something with agency and separate from people. Society is the aggregate of people. How people view and talk about themselves and others as male and female in anything other than a physiological context is gender. "Girl gamer" is not a technical term for a gamer with a vagina. It is a particular kind of female gamer, with a particular identity, both taken on by the gamers themselves and as perceived by other gamers. There may possibly be people who identify as "girl gamers" who are biologically male. That's what makes this a gender, not a sex issue.
Of course, when talking about gender we also need to talk about biological sex, as unsurprisingly there's something of a high correlation between the two, and biological differences impact on gender differences (and vice versa). To be honest, much of the tone of what you write gives the impression that you've only just found out the difference between gender and sex and that like someone born again, you excitedly presume that (a) you've understood it perfectly and (b) no one else does. One reason I say this because you don't seem particularly au fait with how widely the term "gender" is actually used in the sociological literature. Of the ten in the list of articles citing the one about "sex differences", six either use gender in the title, or the abstract, or as a key indexing term. As far as I can see, none use sex as a lead term. You might argue they're wrong to do this, but they're the ones with articles published in peer review journals and you're an anonymous keyboard hitter on Wikipedia. Finding articles here and there in google that use "sex" more broadly and gender less broadly is just data fishing. You need to look at the general usage in high quality sources.
A better source (because it addresses the issue head on) for the role of qualitative research in demography would be this article from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. It details the struggles and mistakes of demographers - formally trained in quantitative methods - when trying to incorporate qualitative methods into research projects when there isn't a sociologist or anthropologist working on their team. Formally qualitative methods are used where quantitative survey instruments are not feasible, primarily with clandestine or illegal activities. As you will see if you read the article, it's still done to create a picture of a population rather than analyse individual experiences in any depth (and you'll also read about the elementary difficulties many demographers have in using qualitative techniques). Demographers have always had to rely on the results of qualitative research to inform their interpretations of statistics. That doesn't take away from the fact that the bread and butter of demography is the measurement of population-level phenomena and the statistical relationships that can be found between them. It's a highly complicated subject; one shouldn't be surprised at the degree of specialism.
A demographer working on her or his own turf might look at how many "game girls" there are (if the concept can be properly operationalised to be countable), where they live, what games they play. This article presumably wants to cover more than that, such as "what is a game girl" and related issues of perception and identity in video gaming. Otherwise we can just stick the numbers we have in to Video game#Demographics and delete this page.
Having a title that includes "gender" would broaden the topic, but it would make for a more stable, NPOV, high quality RS-based article than using "females".VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 05:18, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

quote:

Randy Miller of DVD Talk considered that the show is not fairly consistent, and they haven't aged much during the last decade. Miller states that the show and believes: "It's obvious�especially in retrospect, if you were younger when the series first premiered�that Courage takes a very cinematic approach to its art, storytelling and characters, especially the horror genre." Miller concurs that "usually don't go for thrills and chills, so it's good to see a genuinely surreal and slanted series develop a decent following." Miller felt that Warner Bros. had the DVD treatment that doesn't offer much support and stated that the technical reasons is only passable that have lack of bonus features certainly doesn't help matters, and overall, fans of the series should be glad to have the first season on DVD and a relatively ticket of low price that ease the pain.

The song is initially dedicated exclusively to the world's population of attractive females, until ODB seems to have pangs of guilt for not including ladies who might be considered 'homely' or 'ugly,' so he decides to include them, with the encouraging words, 'to me, you pretty anyway, baby.' The artist begins the song by expressing his harsh disdain for women whom he meets, who initially appear to be interested in him, yet later express a reversal of opinion. He then transitions into a discussion about how women sometimes imply they are carrying one's child, although the DNA tests may not yet have come back conclusively.

ODB then expresses some confusion with respect to the morality of the situation, but he is able to remedy this by presenting his Cristal brand of champagne, and urging the patrons to disarm themselves, because ODB does not approve of such violence. Continuing, it appears at first that there is some mutual attraction between �Dirty� (ODB) and the female patrons in the establishment; however, it soon becomes apparent to Dirty that the females only wish to use him for a shot at music video stardom. Despite his knowledge of their ulterior motives, ODB�s primary interest remains focused on dancing, and he tries to perpetuate his image as one who should not be taken lightly. He acknowledges a lack of intellectualism, although he claims that this is superseded by his natural charisma.

The females in the establishment start admiring Dirty for his assets, which just causes Dirty to return to the situation at hand: his money. He asks for the females� assistance in rectifying the situation, and subsequently asks them to expose their nether regions. Dirty finishes off the song with some nonsensical lyrics, that clearly imply his rising anger for the missing money.
