I'll never get the issue with women not present in some social layers. Women are very different, they think and feel differently, and no surprise they don't succeed in some traditionally male areas. SlayerS made it even worse, and approached the project with 0 prior experience and knowledge of what they are doing. Promotion was done so unprofessionally, makes me feel so bad for Eve.

If girls could, they'd already had done it. They are mostly not interested. And if they are, to a much lesser extend than boys. Thank god (gods, aliens, w/e yall believe in) we don't live in a homogeneous society. It is a miracle to have such warm-hearted, tender, gracious, caring and deep-feeling females next to us, it makes the world so much more diverse and beautiful.

But face it, there is little room for women in intellectually competitive scenes. Men are built for this kind of stress, women aren't. There are exceptions, and we see brilliant females in science, politics and business. I personally won't ever have the balls to take a firm stand in intellectual competition against say, Angela Merkel, or Svetlana Luzhkova. Women in male areas have to possess a unique and critical advantage, or they fail. Highlight intellectually, because physical performance is an entirely different issue. Women's bodies are better at a lot of things than men's (more flexible, lighter muscle, different rate of energy consumption).

Eve didn't look like she had any advantage over other male sc2 players, as women high-flyers in other areas do (education, superior network, advanced communication skills, luck ffs). If the advantage is deep in her, it's fine, but then it is impossible to play the card before it's dealt. Get her on board, train, make sure she is ready, then announce.

SlayerS_Jessica took a bad, miscalculated and unweighted risk. To make things worse, it was based around and affected an entire separate person. It's like taking a generally untalented singer and throw her out on the scene without the support of heavy PR and money for laugh and humiliation. This kind of stress and feelings breaks lives, you know. People go down from far simplier and localized things, especially young girls.

I hope this will be a lesson for all "managers" out there. When things get as big as they are with pro sc2 scene, it's a jungle and a harsh business, and not everyone can survive. PR and managing professionals of other entertainment segments are very experienced, networked and connected people, who have sense and knowledge in what they are doing. Sc2 managers don't seem to have the skills. Heck, they probably don't have even a complete bachelor's degree in the fields they work in.
