sexual harrassment on kdice.

it may seem amazing or whatever, but i'm female and enjoy playing kdice. however along with other female players, i receive a lot of unwanted attention and abuse from having a picture of myself, not slutty, not erotic, just a picture of my face, as my icon.

i'm not overreacting here, trust me. i don't mind being told i look attractive. it's a compliment, right? too many in a day and it gets repetitive but, even so, it's no reason to complain.

what i'm talking about here is moments like this, from maybe ten minutes ago.


weedeater: i blow a loud all over the chich in the pick teal
eramus: a loud?
weedeater: load
eramus: hrmm
weedeater: lol
weedeater: got excited
weedeater: lol
Sophalis: oh dear god.
Sophalis: seriously. get a girlfriend or something
weedeater: why
weedeater: i can rub one out
weedeater: looking at you



yea.. i'm really fed up of guys thinking they can say things like that to me and other girls on here and get away with it. i'm not amazingly feminist but behaviour like that is disgusting and inappropriate. this is a dice game, not an internet chat room, and women should be able to play on here without sexual harrassment like the example i just quoted.


i'd like to hear some opinions... thanks.

“Women Equality”

It is really time for men, and boys to realize that women/girls are not just objects for them to have sex with or any other type of sexual activity. They do in fact have feelings, and care about what others say about them. They also have a brain, although to some degree wired differently than a man’, they think to the same level as any man. They may not think the same way, but that is due to chemical reactions within the brain.
A woman has estrogen, the female hormone for reproduction, where a man has testosterone. These two chemicals allow among other things a difference in thinking. Testosterone causes a man to be aggressive for example. This is one of the differences in the chemical makeup of the human mind between female, and male humans, but it is in fact one of the major ones. It isn’t that either side is smarter it is just as I have stated before that the two genders think slightly differently.
There are many women who have done great things in their lives such as Hillary Clinton who was just in the presidential race. To all the males who think females are not as great as them; they would have to have called a women the most powerful person in the world not a man. That is just one woman though, look at out school teachers. So many of them are women and our children learn exactly what they must in order to live a successful life. Women are also doctors, scientists, and so much more.
To think that a female can not do exactly what a male can do is more than sexist, it is just plain ignorant, and asinine. People have to realize this is an age where everyone is equal, and can do anything to the same degree as any other person. We are all humans, all people; we can all do anything we put our minds to, women included.
Also when a woman is told she is hot in a non-complimentary way, or is asked to strip she feels used and violated. Men have to realize that women do in fact have feelings, and are not sexual toys. They are humans just as the same as any man and in that same sense deserve the respect that every person should get. If a woman is beautiful call her such and move on. Every woman likes a compliment, but a man then has to move on from said compliment. A dick does not need to be whipped out to every “hot” woman that walks by. Just because this is the internet does not give you freedom to say something you would not in real life either, if they deserve respect in the real world then they do in the E-world as well.
Simply put the male population needs to realize that a woman is to be treated with respect, and deserves to be treated as a peer not a sexual object, or a underling. Welcome to the 21st century my friends, although it came late women finally have he respect, and equality that they deserved from birth.

I am male,16 years of age.
Excuse this being poorly written, but it is late. Thanks

its a well known fact us men rarely think with our brains. that aside you would think we could come up with a better thing to think with then our testicles. I vote we start doing what our stomaches tell us. its perfect, we can maintain our status as completely shallow morons while at the same time not be as degrading to the female gender. Who's with me?

do you really wanna use you as your example. I mean honestly of all the people you coulda picked. at least go with somebody Important Like Queen Elizebeth or Cleopatra. They where at least successful leaders. In a time of true male dominance too.

Yes simply because alot of people are not educated to save their lives, and might have heard of hillary on the TV. Saddly the days of reading a history book is dead.

Hi detenmile,

Your examples aren't that brilliant either. Both were born into leadership roles, ie,the silver spoon was well and firmly in their mouths as soon as they entered this world.

Isn't sexual harrasment a natural expression of biological tendencies? It is only harrasment if the recipient feels "harrassed" by the expressed predisposition of the male to mate with the recipient.

well, i think diceygirl kinda solved her own problem. But, its not like you can jus ban every single jackass on kdice, there'd be no one left to play. If you really find people offensive, the "Best" solution would probably be to mute them. Im a guy, so when people wanna talk rude, I jus talk it right back.

SprintTx, that is an interesting writeup you made, and I won't comment on it too heavily.

The only thing I would encourage you away from doing is stereotyping men the way you do. I think your goal is to get certain guys to treat women better, and you can do that without lumping all men together in as negative a light as you have.

Sure, the idiots stand out, but there's a lot more guys, even on an internet site like kdice, that treat women well, or at least equitably.
