Yes, I have to admit, I have no idea about whether what Sarkeesian says about video games is right or not, and the main reason I've supported her financially is the unhinged reaction she gets is disproportionate to anything anyone should ever get for saying anything about video games, which leads me to think it's not about video games at all. Just as GamerGate is not about video games.
The same thing could be said about so much of why the Internet has turned me into a radical feminist of sorts; a feminist says something very mild, be it an unwanted advance in an elevator, or guns aren't the solution to rape, and an explosion of misogyny follows. Technology has revealed some deep seeded misogyny amongst a large segment of the population. Women like Monica Lewinsky, Kathy Sierra, are my heroes.
