Anita fails Biology 101 And Contradicts Herself Again
fegamer17 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
In this episode of tropes vs women it seems that Anita has failed basic biology when it comes to female body language. When it comes to her analysis of female body language, one thing that she looked at was hip sways, claiming that it was as if all of the women in gaming walk as if they are wearing stilettos all the time. Here's a biology lesson for Anita, all biological women have wide hips once they reach puberty. The naturally larger pelvis is designed so they can give birth to a baby, as a result hip sways occur due to the wide set hips both with or without heels. I should know this because I'm a woman, it's what my hips do, and I mostly wear sneakers. Especially after a woman gives birth the hip sways get wider, since I have seen many new mothers in crowds that have very wide natural hip sways.

Furthermore, she stated that in one game the female warrior sits like a delicate flower while the male warrior's sit pose suggests confidence. Isn't the male's pose man spreading? Something women like Anita hate seeing? But of course she stated that the solution is not making female characters do man stuff, because that would be sexist. She contradicted herself right then and there because she clearly wants female characters to do male stuff for some reason now.

Anita, please take my advice and take some high school anatomy, because you don't have any idea how the female body even works.
