What high schools (in the USA and possibly elsewhere, I’ve only been to school here) do is make something so exciting and natural- learning- into pain and drudgery, hours and hours of mindless busywork for very little actual information received, pure regurgitation without understanding, with taskmasters to monitor and punish you if you do it in any way they don’t like.

Ok, first of all assume the worst and assume she needs the max amount of tampons possible for all days. Now lets count it up.

7 days? Better be safe and make it 10.

3 tampons a day at worst? Better be safe and make it 5.

So that gives us 50 tampons. Ok. Double it.

And that’s how you get 100.

“Women aren’t true gamers! They play Candy Crush!”

“Women aren’t true artisans! They are crafters!”

“Women aren’t true artists! They have hobbies!”

“Women aren’t true chefs! They are cooks!”

I am so tired of this bullshit.

Sorry, male gamers of Reddit and 4Chan, but Angry Birds only came out five years ago. Unless you want to try to argue that women have just been playing Bejeweled for the last 13 years, the math just doesn’t add up.

And while the total audience for mobile social games is now bigger than ever, the audience for computer and video games is now an even 50-50 split between male and female genders.”
