Eleventh Commandment: Never criticize a woman, especially if she believes in feminism.
Feminism in a nutshell: women are equal to men, but because they're NOT equal to men, they need special treatment.
Feminism is mixed up with the muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands.
~ G.K. Chesterson
Feminism is actually societal decay which attacks the foundation of family and men as repackaged social justice, in order to fool women into submissively destroying western culture.
~ PinkAboutIt @Pink_About_it
Except women and feminists are not one of the same, love. While feminists can be women, there are women who are not feminists.
~ TylerPreston20 @TylerPreston20
Instead of defending women, our culture seems to want to turn women into men. We've not just rejected masculinity, but femininity as well. The truth is both of these are beautiful and complimentary things that should be celebrated.
~ Lauren Southern
The thing about feminists who take things too far is that they have no introspection. This goes for all fanatics.
~ Paul Ruggeri
Hypersexualization occurs when a character is designed to be valued primarily for their sexual characteristics or behaviors. In hypersexualized characters, these attributes are highlighted above all else, while everything else about the characters is made secondary.

Next we're gonna get rid of "man" out of "woman". We'll just call them Wo.

To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo. It's often said that men use woman. Use them for what? Surely not pleasure.

This entire movement started with Harvey Weinstein. Let's not forget that simple fact. I believe deeply in due process, but I also believe a hundred women are a compelling voice for truth. That said I would respectfully counsel artists not to take business meetings in a hot tub.

The problem with feminists isn’t that they’re hateful and outrageous, it’s that they’re hateful and outrageous while claiming to be just, moral, caring, and egalitarian.
~ Milo Yiannopoulos, Dangerous
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves.

A serious girl, when she finds someone who calms her spirit and quiets her busy thoughts, will love you so fiercely, it will defy even her own logic and reasoning.

No. You don't get to be hierarchical with abuse. And you don't get to tell women that because some guy only showed them their penis their pain isn't as great as a woman who was raped.

I have a responsibility to the company that I work with. I don't feel that I have a responsibility to cater in some way, to those particular fans. I would never just seize on saying, 'Well, this is a franchise that's appealed primarily to men for many, many years, and therefore I owe men something.

That's just terrible. So a loving family has to die in a blazing fire all because f***ing feminists bitch about equality in the workplace.... THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST DO ON YOUR OWN WOMEN!! Men are physically stronger and more likely to break down that door. It makes me sick because feminazis would rather have higher death rates regarding fire all for their sick agenda. They can go f*** off because I don't think firefighter is up their alley.

Feminism is dead. The movement is absolutely dead. The women's movement tried to suppress dissident voices for way too long. There’s no room for dissent. Feminist ideology is like a new religion for a lot of neurotic women. You can't talk to them about anything.

The Biggest Lie Feminism Tells Women “You can have and deserve it all” – Time, energy and personal ability are limited or finite things. A person can’t be in two places at one time, you have to choose between the high powered business meeting and the school recital. Something always has to give, make your choices and live with the effects. Don’t blame others.
How to be a feminist: 1) tell lies 2) get called out 3) call your critics abusers and harassers 4) bully media into agreeing 5) repeat.
~ Milo Yiannopoulos
Paradoxically and somewhat ironically, those who most strongly believe that media is just harmless entertainment are also the ones most likely to uncritically internalize harmful media messages.

Anita Sarkesian has said that, because Princess Peach is always getting kidnapped in Super Mario franchise the game are subtly promoting the idea that women are weak and helpless, always needing men to rescue them. This woman wonders why she isn’t taken seriously. Maybe it’s because she’s playing a 2D side-scrolling platformer for the f***ing story.

One repercussion of constantly relying on feminizing signifiers for character design is that it tends to reinforce a strict binary form of gender expression.

I feel like the feminine has been a little undervalued, we all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being the mother, cooking — it’s a valuable thing my mom created. And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armor. I’m sorry. You need a man to be a man and a woman to be a woman. That’s why relationships work.

Liberalism is romantic. Women love a man who fights for her rights, even if the fight suggests she can’t fight for herself. And men dig the war on patriarchy, while leeching off his parents on tuition. It’s a luxury: you can hold destructive opinions without actually experiencing any of their consequences. Nothing makes speaking truth to power easier than a nice trust fund.
~ Greg Gutfeld, How To Be Right: The Art of Being Persuasively correct
Anita Sarkeesian is basically the heroine of feminism right now because she did one thing they have so far not really been able to do and that is she located patriarchy and the only way for feminists to do that is rearrange facts.
~ Diana Davison @d2davison
My analysis is very well researched. It's double and triple checked!

The entire work of Anita Sarkeesian consists of saying video games are making you sexist. From her video: 'Ironically, those who strongly believe that video games are harmless entertainment are also the ones most likely to internalize harmful media messages. The more you think you cannot be affected, the more likely you are to be affected.'...This is as toxic and idiotic as conservative[s] saying video games violence makes you violent in real life.

~ Anita Sarkeesian
I am here to save you, supporter of [Anita Sarkeesian]. Please do not support this campaign [$200,000 for additional YouTube video series], it is a total lie. I understand that you want women’s rights, and support women’s equality, and I do as well, but she is a thief, who has stolen the money of thousands of people before. In her previous video series she promised to make twelve videos and the cost of the entire project was going to be $6,000. She was given $160,000, which is more than 25 times the asking amount. You would think that with this extra money she would be able to make better quality videos or maybe more videos in the series. She failed to do either and only made 3 of the 12 videos she originally promised to make. These videos apparently cost $25,000 each and the other $75,000 will be going to her personally. The question we should be asking is “does it really cost $25,000 to make a YouTube video?” The only way this would be possible is if she isn’t editing or producing the video herself. Most video series makers, who don’t produce the video themselves will pay an hourly fee to a producing company, and will be charged usually around $800 in total. If she is stupid enough to pay per minute finished fee, she would be paying $1,000 a minute finished, per video. This means that her last video would have cost her $3,000 to make, which is unreasonable and a poor economic decision. Most of the things in her video can be found on YouTube, like her video on “Strategic Butt Coverings”. That video was not hard to produce at all; it was her sitting behind a blue background, commenting on video game clips. I want you and others to understand that she is pocketing your money, and we need to stick together and fight for real women’s rights, not allowing women like her to exploit this community.

There's really no such thing as "escapism" in mass media. You can't "escape" culturally reinforced values and messages embedded in narratives.
~ Jonathan Mcintosh
Feminist media analysis is rarely as simple as "No, this is not sexist" or "Yes, this is sexist". Within both media and society itself, unexamined sexist beliefs and actions are pervasive, sometimes in very obvious ways, but also in more subtle and often unexamined ones. For example, we don't bat an eye if the main cast of an action film is composed entirely of men, but if the cast is all female it is often seen as bizarre or noteworthy. These attitudes are very much like air pollution.
~ Anita Sarkeesian
The idea that men are more violent and aggressive because of biology is 100% bulls***. Manhood is socially constructed.

When Disney, Princess Peach & even Ms. Pacman is said to oppress women and girls maybe we really are being oppressed; not by video games and movies, but by pop culture critiques who believe they are social engineers.

Feminism: the radical notion that you can call patrons, fan and prospective voters sexist as some kind of marketing ploy
Choice feminism posits that each individual woman determines what empowering for herself, which might sound good on the surface, but this concept risks obscuring the bigger picture and larger fundamental goals of the movement by focusing on individual women with a very narrow individual notion of empowerment. It erases the reality that some choices women make have an enormous negative impact on other women's lives. So it's not enough to feel personally empowered or personally successful within the oppressive framework of the current system. Even if an individual woman can make patriarchy work for her, it's still a losing game for the rest of the women on the planet. The fact of the matter is that some choices have ramifications beyond ourselves and reinforce harmful patriarchal ideas about women as a group and about women's bodies in our wider shared culture.
~ Anita Sarkeesian
(The reason we can't have sexy video game characters):

~ Lauren Southern
I don’t think that's anything new - I think that these are deeply ingrained these attitudes towards all of this and one of the biggest tricks that feminism has ever pulled with the biggest cons is that they claim to be against those attitudes and those norms I guess, if you will, but they are masters of exploiting them, so essentially - I mean what is domestic violence legislation that specifically protects women against their male partners - what does that say about men and women, says that men are strong and when women are weak that men are dangerous women need protection, these are not new, attitudes extremely old attitudes and so they've essentially taken every little thing that sort of maybe part of our biological wetware and then it gets reinforced by society and culturation of those things they've taken all of those things that our age-old that existed forever and they've completely exploited them to their own ends and all the while claiming that they're dismantling all of those norms - it's absolutely ridiculous.
~ Karen Straughan
Today’s Americans know the media are generally liberal, if not outright leftist. (To put media bias in perspective, during the 2008 election year, 1,160 employees at the three major networks ABC,NBC, AND CBS – contributed more than $1 million dollars to Democratic candidates. By contrast, only 193 employees contributed a total of $142,863 to Republican candidates.) But when we think of media, we often think only of television and radio. Another arm of liberal bias is publishing, which includes books like Secrets of Powerful Women, as well as dozens of women’s magazines. They are a significant part of the liberal establishment. Myrna Blyth, former Ladies’ Home Journal editor, exposed her former colleagues in Spin Sisters: How the Women of the Media Sell Unhappiness and Liberalism to the Women of America. She wrote: “Women’s magazines, a nearly $7 Billion – a year business, are based on telling women their lives are too tough for them to handle and they should feel very sorry for themselves. This distorted vision of life is absolutely crazy. By now, most people understand there’s a culture war in America between folks on the right who want to preserve our county’s traditions and folks on the left who want to change America, but feminist bias is not recognized as an essential part of media bias. Yet a significant portion of the left in America is female, and they have convinced Americans that women are victims of an unjust, patriarchy society and must look to the government to redress their grievances.
~ Suzanne Venker, The Flipside of Feminism
Feminism has undergone different waves in our society, and I feel it's less about equality between the sexes today and more about liberating people from any type of decimation caused by patriarchy.

Katniss Everdeen is truly a hero for young women. Young women are growing up in a culture that tells them they should always put their own needs and desires first. That it is moral triumph to live only for yourself. Your needs, your desires, your goals, your ambitions, your own personal fulfillment should trump everything and everyone else. Even your husband. Even your children. I hope young women who read the Hunger Games get the message and respond to the wider culture with a great big F*** YOU. Chose Primrose. Choose Rue. Choose love. Choose their lives over yours. You just might find it the most fulling thing of all.
~ Janet Bloomfield, feminisn’t
It's interesting to look at three people who are equal parts of a project and see how differently we are valued. We used get a lot of, 'Martin how do you write the songs? Lauren, what kind of tour diet do you go on?' In reviews, people talk about how I look, about my girlish voice and my pixie-esque demeanor, but they don't talk about how the guys look.
~ Lauren Mayberry
Once you accept the premise that the feminine is priori superior to the masculine, the plan of attack becomes quite obvious: men must become feminine or be forever defined as inferior and unworthy. It’s a tongue in cheek aphorism that feminists hate men, but of course, that’s not true. They love men. As long as men act like women.

There are as many violent women as men, but there's a lot of money in hating men, particularly in the United States--millions of dollars. It isn't a politically good idea to threaten the huge budgets for women's refuges by saying that some of the women who go into them aren't total victims.

Mothers who breastfeed boy babies need to stop. We need to empower more females in this world and by breastfeeding them we're giving them a good start in life which they deserve over a baby boy which are already physically stronger than baby girls. I have feminist views and I am not ashamed to admit that. No boy baby will ever be fed from my breasts if I am unfortunate enough to have a son. Formula for him and circumcision to take away sexual pleasure from him when he grows up.
~ Hailey Martin
I think it’s the fault line in feminism showing up again. Feminism is supposed to be about social, political and economic equality between men and women, but it’s not. It’s a philosophy and ideology that women should never make anyone else’s need matter more than their own, but men should continue to exist in service to others.
~ Janet Bloomfield, feminisn’t
Under the guise of escapism and pleasure, we are getting images of imagined power that mask, and even erase, how much still remains to be done for girls and women, images that make sexism seem fine, even fun, and insist that feminism is now utterly pointless--even bad for you.

I'm proudly sexist against men. They are vastly inferior to women. This makes me a femazi? Perfect. Feminism is too tolerant of men.

Camille Paglia has publicly called my artwork a “masochistic exercise” in which I neither “evolve” nor “move-on.” She speaks as if she, a white woman, knew what was best for me, a woman of color she’s never met. Many people ask me how I've “healed” from my assault, as if healing were another word for “forgetting about it,” “getting over it,” or even “shutting up about it.” To expect me to move on is to equate courage with self-censorship. The phrases--suck it up, move on, and get over it--are violence. People who say these phrases equate what is right with what is expected. I think courage means, Afraid in a way that makes you do what is right, even if it's unexpected. I dedicate this award to everyone who has not told me to get over it. Thank you for validating my fear and my way of handling it. Thank you for creating a world in which we can tackle the things that terrify us by doing the unexpected right thing. Thank you.

Flippantly using misogynist imagery to show how bad an evil character is trivializes the experiences of actual victims of gendered violence.

I want to start by asking a question if feminism is a movement about equality why don't we see equal representation of gender issues and why don't we see women complain about the benefits they have over men in certain situations.

I always thought of myself in the future. This was just my temporary body, and my real self would have a thin body. Becuase that's what real people have. But when you don't think of yourself as a real thing, when you live in the future, you can't advocate for yourself in the present. You can't demand respect and rights and humanity, because you don't really exist.

Domestic violence used by women against men is a phenomenon that has received little attention within the media, academia and the political elite. Despite this lack of attention, for nearly four decades the best research indicates that men are also frequently the targets of domestic violence. And yet, the media and our political/judicial elite often frame domestic violence merely as "violence against women", thus generating the false and misleading assumption that males are
always the aggressors and are more capable of harming their female partners.
~ Dr. Augusto Zimmermann
All disrespect for women does not end up with violence against women, but let’s be clear, all violence against women begins with disrespecting women.

No committed left-winger sings the praises of conservative women such as Dr. Laura Sclessinger, Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, or even Margaret Thatcher—despite the fact that they have, or have had, it all. That’s why the so-called women’s movement (a misleading term, for it suggests all women are on the same page) is bogus. The feminist movement was never about supporting all women, just liberal women. It was not designed to level the playing field; it was designed rearrange society to make life more suitable to feminists. It was designed “to change the language, the tempo, the character of the world. Here’s a twist: What if you’re a woman who isn’t “soft and submissive”—but thinks America is pretty great? What if you’re a strong, independent woman, as feminists claim women should be, but don’t believe women are victims? My mother was a trailblazer. She received a master’s degree from Radcliffe College in 1952. And trust me: no one could accuse my mother of being “soft”,”submissive,” or “taking a back seat.” On the contrary, she was brave enough to enter the male-dominated world of stock traders—at Merril Lynch, in the 1950s. When faced blatant sexism, she didn’t whine about it or give up; she went to work at G. H. Walker (another investment bank), where the men were happy to have her. “People who succeed do not expect every company to reward fairly; they screen for companies that will recognize their contribution,” wrote Warren Farrell, Ph.D. in The Myth of Male Power. Indeed, smart women forge ahead in the face of adversity—they don’t stop to complain about being mistreated. As my mother always told me, “There will always be people who want to drag you down. Don’t let them.”

I'm not here to tell you how to be a feminist, or whether you should be one at all.

I'm really interested in a conversation about what spaces we can define for ourselves as women... On most sets that I'm on, 80% of the people are men. I would just love to see what it looks like if 80% of the people on set were women. I don't even know what we would create differently or what would happen but I'd love to find out.

We still have not decided, as a species, that women are sentient - and as more and more fembots appear on our screens and in our stories, we should consider how our technology reflects our expectations of gender. Who are the users, and who gets used? Unless we can recalibrate our tendency to exploit each other, the question may be whether the human race can survive the machine age - but whether it deserves to.

Only by remembering to say 'no' will the women of the 21st century regain their voice and remember their power. 'No' is the most important word in a woman's dialectic arsenal, and it is th one word that our employers, our leader, an quit often, the men in our lives would do anything to prevent us from saying. No, we will not serve. No, we will not settle for the dirty work, the low-paid work, the unpaid work. No, we will not stay late at the office, look after the kids, sort out the shopping. We refuse to fit the enormity of our passion, our creativity, and our potential into the rigid physical prison laid down for us since we were small children. No. We refuse. We will not buy your clothes and good. Most of all, we refuse to be beautiful and good.
~ Laurie Penny
Most of us have been socialized to accept men's sports as dominant, and somehow automatically more interesting. The problem is that once society has internalized this falsehood - and let's face it, it's a falsehood that's millennia in the making it's not so easy to correct.

Blame it on the women dear. They outnumber men, if they were watching woman sports to the degree that men watch male sports, every single network would be falling over themselves to market these games. But here's the rub: women (as a whole) really don't want to watch sports, they have other interests.

Not one single woman on the national soccer team would make the men's team. As good as Serina Williams is, she'd get skunked by the 125th best man in the world. America cares about the biggest/fastest/strongest and it is just indisputable, biological fact that women are not equal to men in physical strength. Women's sports are unpopular for the same reason that college baseball, D-League basketball, arena league football, etc. are not popular ... because they don't feature the best athletes.

Feminists assume that marital traditions such as father giving the bride away were a reflection of Patriarchy. But the father gave away the bride because it was the father giving away his responsibility to protect. (no one gave the man away because no one would protect a man. The job of the parent was to turn the son into a protector, not give him away to a protector).

A Barbie in a pretty pink dress: This is Barbie. Throughout the years, she has been the center of much controversy, because feminists claim she represents an unrealistic, unhealthy and unfair standard of beauty, leading to a “crisis” for young girls and their self-esteem. Next to Barbie is an image of an extremely muscular man with bulging muscles that would put Arnold Schwarzenegger to shame. He is wearing a breastplate, his legs are bare and muscular and he is carrying a broadsword in one hand with a battle-axe strapped to his back: THIS IS HE-MAN.
I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on twitter. That’s something I’m used to.

Real relationships don’t involve fantasies. They are all about facing the nitty gritty details of life with humor and cheer and compromise and most of all, an infallible sense of being together in the storm. You can’t image away your partner’s flaws, nor your own. You have to face them, and try to keep your head and stay rational and sane even when you feel like you will lose your mind if he fails once again to break down the empty cereal box before piling it up on all the other recycling.
~ Janet Bloomfield
First, this is a woman who clearly doesn’t give a s*** about her child’s well-being and future prospects – children of single mothers do poorly on every imaginable scale: they have emotional problems, experience more stress, are more likely to grow up poor, they have lower educational achievements and experience way more behavioral problems than children who grow up with married parents. Depression, suicide, drug, jail and psychiatric medication are more common in populations of children raised by single mothers. Second, single mothers are clearly really, really sh**ty at making life decisions. Having a child out of weblock is pretty much the number one thing you can do to f*** up your life. You can pick up a heroin addiction, drop out of high school, rob a bank or decide to write the American novel financing yourself on you credit cards. All of those things can be fixed. You can go to rehab, get your GED, get parole, and pay off those cards. But once you have a child, you cannot take it back. It’s done.
~ Janet Bloomfield
The gender binary is an entirely artificial and socially constructed division of male and female into two distinctly separate and opposing classes of human being. The gender binary also erases the continuum of gender presentations and identifies that fall outside of the rigid masculine/feminine false and within that strict binary; women are “marked”, while men get to remain largely “unmarked.”
~ Anita Sarkeesian
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves.

If someone disagrees with a Social Justice Warrior and is white or straight, they will likely be told to educate themselves or check their privilege. It is an attack on an individual’s characteristics instead of their argument. It's not dissimilar from saying, your arguments is white therefore your argument is invalid. In fact, based on the definition of racism ... it would appear as though assuming someone is privileged or disadvantaged based on their skin color is in fact racist.

I have been in the heart of this movement since day one and all I have seen is nothing but acceptance and support from many smart, funny, talented, passionate women and men who just love video games and want to protect their hobby from corruption and a forced agenda. The only harassment I ever see comes from anonymous egg accounts that were made that day and other third parties attempting to stir sh**. All I see from this side is gamergate telling these trolls to f*** off and report the accounts. The only hatred I see is hatred for liars, corrupted media and con artists. Anti- gamergate blocks and silences minorities and women who do not fit their narrative and who are a threat to their agenda. They even have a program designed to mass block everyone who has a different opinion than them. I was doxxed by the "anti-gamergate" side the second week everything happened and my personal information [as well as private pictures] were added to a list alongside many other pro-gamergate people like: Milo, Adam and Totalbiscuit. The media never covers any of the awful things that anti-gg does because it did not fit the narrative. Most if not all of those against gg cannot get it through their heads that we are individuals. They are unable to not groupthink. one bad apple = all of gamergate. One gamergate person is a homophobe = all of gamegate. They throw us into labels like "conservatives" (even though it been proven 90% of gg are left wing) and cover their ears screaming "misogyny" when faced with facts or logic. It's absoutely bizarre. They can kick and scream sexism all they want. They can edit wikipedia pages. They can block out women's voices and hide in thir little echo chamber all they want. The truth will always prevail.

One of the core messages in many video games is "kill or be killed." That is a very political message with deep ideological underpinnings.
~ Jonathan Mcintosh
Lies within the first five seconds of the video. Please point to the game which are showing violent depictions of women being raped. Oh, no, never mind, it's not about news, it's about yellow sensationalism. The truth does not apply when ideology is at play. Gentle reminder that the Mainstream Media is no friend to the game industry and has been relentless in its negative depiction of it for decades. This interview was astonishingly one-sided and unsurpisingly the interviewed critic (Anita Sarkeesian) lacked actual critical solutions to solving what she views as a problem to begin with. Next time, why not interview one of the many thousands of talented women working in this space to get an actual perspective on what it's like, rather than someone who professionally baits controversy yet seems to lack the necessary knowledge to provide any tangible improvements that could be made to address the perceieved problems.
~Total Biscuit
"Don't like it, don't buy it" is a bad argument. Cultural criticism isn’t about personal preferences, it's about examining meaning in media.
~ Jonanthan Mcintosh
The ironic problem with the way Anita Sarkeesian and her followers see these tropes is that if a woman at any point is in need of help, she gets labeled as a damsel in distress and everything else about her character becomes irrelevant. If a female character is sexy, she is a sex object and nothing more.
The United States bombed [japan] back to traditional values - feminism does not exist in Japan. While I don't like judging an entire culture...that does not excuse them.
~ Anita Sarkeesian
That is the problem, Anita, Brianna, and so many others are crying "harassment", "hatred", etc. just because someone is criticizing them. It has become a complete joke. Anita even stated in a panel that she wanted to pressure game developers to make games that she deems appropriate, but I'm sorry, I may not be a AAA developer, but I am not going to be told what I can and can't make. These people, as well as both sides of the controversy are allowed to say what they want within reason thanks to our rights and freedoms, but they aren't going to censor my right to expression through video games.That is another thing that makes me laugh. Apparently, calling for no more use of certain tropes and no more sexualized female characters in games isn't censorship in their minds.

Male Entitlement is the conviction that men are owed something by virtue of their gender.

One of the most harmful aspects of male entitlement is the belief that men have a right to survey and use women's bodies.

If Anita Sarkeesian doesn’t like all the male dominated media out there why doesn’t she stay away from it and surround herself with people who do the same? If she doesn’t want to constantly have people to treat her unfairly for being a woman why doesn’t she buzz her head and wear jeans and baggy clothes? The only reason she wears earrings and has long hair is because that is because that is the patriarchal expectation for women by her dressing within the confines of the expectation she is enforcing the driven society. My thoughts are she wouldn’t make money doing anything I said.

Anita Sarkeesian claimed she's been gaming all her life, and then took a picture next to a stack of games to prove she's a "gamer" yet... People have screen caps of her admitting she first picked up a game for the first time in her 20's. [A laughing face.] Long story short... Anita's a con artist who doesn't drink her own koolaid nor believe in her own preaching. Sadly people buy into her bull, and throw money at her.

I’m now almost positive that half of the “feminists” aren’t even “feminists”, their just women who want to be treated better than men and will do whatever it takes for people to agree with them.
~ Kassidy Pitman
[Anita Sarkeesian] reminds me of a feminist that tried to get my husband fired because refused to serve her ahead of everyone else in line at his place of employment and made her wait her place in line like everyone else had to. He was called to the supervisor’s office an hour later and had to face being accused of making sexist comments, refusing to serve her because she was a woman and several other accusations. What she didn’t know is the work stations are under constant video and sound observation. Even when confronted with evidence she lied, refusing to relent and was told to leave and was banned from the establishment.
