SOE's annual G.I.R.L. scholarship program accepting applications

Am i a girl? What is this ''girl'' that you speak of?

And Remember kids, there are no real wimmenz on the internetz!!!!!111

Could you imagine winning this and then getting stuck as an intern on SWG?

Where's the ACLU? This is sexist and clearly discriminatory against men. Obviously concepts such like gender equity and fairness are only applicable when women are the minority. Women are human beings, not a special interest group.

Especially in an online context where the majority of the time, this is completely moot unless you are attempting sexual intercourse via your modem (in which case I recommend therapy). If you want to procreate or demonstrate your vainglorious virility, there are far more effective methods than online gaming.

The irony is that the internet is the great social equaliser and yet people perniciously push endeavors like this that do nothing except create a status quo for irrational privilege. If you go online, people generally aren't going to judge you as a minority or whatever unless you openly identify yourself as one and make it an issue (in which case you have an agenda and therefore deserve everything you get).

Are we going to start giving out special scholarships to ethnic minorities that play online games now?

If Tyler Perry, Martin Lawrence, and countless others can pretend to be women so can I.

It won't be pretty though.

I wonder who it's aimed at?

The first thing that pops into my head is :

"SOE, wouldn't it be better/cheaper to use matchmaking.com if your male devs wanted to see women?" ;P

This whole thing is a scam to get some hot intern action for Smedley.
