As men, we cannot always access "feeling sexy" if such attn is lavished only on ppl who are read as women—this hurts many of us. #Arisia2012

"Try being a size 16 & being catwoman. The COMMUNITY will not be happy." Good—NOW we're naming #lookism. SA http://goo.gl/Me8xx #Arisia2012

#Lookism is 1 thing but #sexism is another—it's the INTERSECTION that makes "sexualized objectification" SA http://is.gd/6CiyJo #Arisia2012

When women do #cosplay, chances are they'll pick something "sexy" cuz most existing #comic characters are ALREADY sexualized. :\ #Arisia2012

#Women in #Gaming panel was…interesting. Plenty of offline notes. I developed #awareness, not #language. That's the safer order. #Arisia2012

maymay

#Women in #Gaming panelists share personal stories; I notice influence of #lookism but after 25min they've yet to mentioned it…. #Arisia2012

maymay

#Gender diversity offers access to more #gaming story lines, etc.; when #women join, there's more ROLE play, not just ROLL play. #Arisia2012

Sitting in on "#Women in #Gaming" panel @Arisia, but rapidly losing energy+focus. :\ It's been a personally…challenging…weekend. #Arisia2012

maymay Polyamory , polyamorous people

!Poly #parenting panel consensus seems to be "parenting's parenting; !polyamory facet is actually minor." SA http://ur1.ca/7ike1 #Arisia2012

maymay polyamorous people

Much overlap btw !poly & #parenting skills: communication/time management/boundary setting etc. Sensible. SA http://ur1.ca/5o5f7 #Arisia2012

maymay Polyamory , polyamorous people

!Poly #parenting: "You love your kids & you love 'em all differently. This parallels" what you already know about !polyamory. :) #Arisia2012

maymay polyamorous people , Technology Group

"The !tech to make more than 2 people [#genetic] parents of a child certainly exists," !poly #parenting panelist says. Wow, rly? #Arisia2012

On #custody battles, @PolyInTheNews says "More often than not, your family is the enemy, not the State." SA http://goo.gl/gDnKh #Arisia2012

maymay polyamorous people

!Poly #parenting concerns include custody battles. Those mostly originate from bitter exes, socially conservative grandparents…. #Arisia2012

maymay Privacy , Youth on Identi.ca

Big diff btw !privacy & concealment. Never make !youth "say the right lie." SA "the closet is not a binary" http://is.gd/EcTOAS #Arisia2012

maymay Youth on Identi.ca , Sex , polyamorous people

Be out as !poly to your child? Either way, don't make 'em wonder "Am I supposed to know this?" !Youth are NOT oblivious to !sex. #Arisia2012
